The vast majority (if not all) fs.com products are registered for use in Australia. Whether or not the C-Tick should be printed on a module that goes inside a device can only be answered by paying for the standard <https://www.standards.govt.nz/shop/asnzs-4417-22020/>. (And no thank you, the DRM that comes with AS/NZS standards makes them unusable. Standards should be free.)

If you ever have a question about whether a product is registered & sold by a responsible supplier in Australia or New Zealand (it's a harmonised system), just check with ERAC <https://equipment.erac.gov.au/>. For fs.com, you can search on E7676 & you'll find every conceivable model of transceiver, direct attach cable, media converter, ethernet switch, etc. here.

Cheers,

Jon
(registered responsible supplier E5378)
