| * | This (Xa) is a new service fee levied by EESS Conformity Certification for the now mandatory uploading of certificate details to the new EESS platform (eess.gov.au). This administrative fee ONLY applies to applications for a certificate under the Recognised External Certificate Scheme (RECS) Level 1, 2 and 3 equipment. EESS Conformity Certification does not charge this fee for applications made under other schemes, such as the Recognised External Approval Scheme (REAS), JASANZ or similar. Renewal and Co-Approval/Licence is considered a New Certificate. This (Xb) is a service fee EESS Conformity Certification charges to certificate applicants or responsible suppliers who require us to register their equipment on the new EESS platform. The client must state how many years they want their equipment registered, includes the government fee. |

NOTES
| 1. | In general, turnaround time commences only when CCS has all the relevant documents for the review process, available assessors and decision makers and this is extremely sensitive for priority service particularly the time of application. |
| 2. | Our Online Application System (OAS) will be able to calculate correctly for invoice or immediate payment if appropriate Service Type and Fee Classification is chosen including if additional test reports are provided for and during application. Otherwise, CCS reserve the right to modify the invoice if additional review work is required and you will be notified of this change. |
GENERAL NOTES:
- All fees are in Australian dollars (AUD) and Australian entities are subjected to the Goods and Services Tax (GST).
GST is currently 10% and will not be charged to clients outside of Australia (overseas entities, please tick the box on our OAS). - All fees are based on a single review of one main test report and supporting documents. This is the standard service.
- Multiple report fee: Where applications require review of multiple test reports or standards an additional service fee of AUD $250 per report/standard may apply. If this is applicable to you, there is an option on our OAS for you to choose how many additional reports/standards are relevant.
- Additional review fee: Where additional information is provided or requested and reviewed, charges/quotes at the hourly rate may be applied.
- If certification is required by regulation and certificate details must be uploaded to the new EESS platform under the RECS declaration, then an administrative fee of AUD 50 is automatically applied on the OAS.
- Where the certificate includes multiple models, an additional service fee will be applied as follows:
- Up to 199 models are included in the original fee (no additional charge).
- Over 200 models to 499 models will automatically attract an AUD 100 surcharge.
- Over 500 models will automatically attract another AUD 100 surcharge.
- Upon the client’s request, we offer an Equipment Registration Service and will register the Responsible Suppliers products/models on the new EESS platform, typically 3 days after the certificate is issued and on behalf of the Responsible Supplier with a service fee of AUD $50 plus the government registration fee for 1, 2 or 5-year. This can be chosen at the time of application on our Online Applications System (OAS).
- All bank (local and international) and statuary charges MUST be paid for by the client/responsible supplier/payee.
- Please note: The fees are for our service, resources and time spent on reviewing the documentation provided by the client for our government recognised / accredited certification services. There is no guarantee or implied guarantee you will receive a certificate simply by paying the fee or not providing completed documentation. All fees paid or invoiced are non-refundable.
- The certificate always remains the property of Conformity Certification Services Pty Limited and its subsidiaries.
- All expenses incurred over and above those normally covered by this Schedule of Fees, will be charged at cost.
- Prices are subject to change without notice; this Schedule of Fees takes effect from 1 January 2026.
