At the risk of stirring the pot some more....

In Australia we have C-Tick. Any equipment coming into the country with
active electronics must be C-Tick compliant.


I thought that the C-Tick is just the mark of compliance; the system is
called the Framework, and it is to that which you must be compliant.

This requires at a minimum
compliance with the CE EMC standards. FCC standards are not recognized
as they are too lenient. It is amazing how many manufacturers (US and
Taiwan based) do not have CE approval for their products when to export
them to any decent sized market outside the US this is a firm
requirement.


I also find it amazing that an Australian may export freely into the USA
market by simply technically complying with the FCC regulations, but an
American has to hire an Aussie or Kiwi as a local agent to "handle" his
paperwork. Amazing, isn't it?

BTW, does China recognize the C-Tick?
