What the C-Tick Certification covers, who needs it, and how SZC-LAB tests and certifies your product for Australia.
The legacy Australian EMC mark, replaced by the RCM in 2016. Still referenced in older specifications and supplier documents.
Market context: The RCM is the single mark; SAA and C-Tick are legacy names still widely used in sourcing documents.
The C-Tick Certification is a legacy scheme that has been replaced, but references to it still appear in older specifications and supplier documents. We can advise whether a C-Tick Certification reference is still accepted in Australia or whether a current mark is needed instead.
The C-Tick Certification is only as strong as the test report behind it. We run the underlying work - EMC & Safety Testing and the related programme for your product - in our own CNAS & ILAC accredited laboratory in Shenzhen, then prepare the documentation the C-Tick Certification application is built on.

Lead time depends on the product, the standard behind the C-Tick Certification and whether factory inspection is part of the route. You get a concrete timeline together with your quotation - we reply within 2 working hours.
Typically: product specification, user manual, schematic or block diagram, critical component list and 1-2 working samples. We confirm the exact list for your product along with the quotation.
It depends on the scheme - some marks are valid continuously with periodic surveillance, others need renewal or an annual factory inspection. We track the applicable maintenance cycle for you as part of the project.
