6. (1) Subject to subclause (2), this clause applies to the performance, in
the frequency band 9 kHz to 400 GHz, of:

   (a)  spark erosion equipment; and

   (b)  LISM equipment in which conductively coupled electromagnetic energy
        that is necessary for the internal functioning of the equipment is
        intentionally generated or used, including the equipment of that kind
        specified in Part 1 of Schedule 1; and

   (c)  ISM equipment in which electromagnetic energy is intentionally
        generated, or used in the form of electromagnetic radiation for the
        purpose of treating material, including equipment of that kind:

        (i)    specified in Part 2 of Schedule 1; or

        (ii)   designed or intended for a purpose described in Part 3 of that
               Schedule.

(2) This clause does not apply to:

   (a)  tungsten ignited gas welders; or

   (b)  a device to which clause 5 applies.

(3) For the purposes of paragraph 162 (1) (a) of the Act, the standard for the
performance of the devices is the standard set out in Australian/New Zealand
Standard AS/NZS 2064.1:1992 and Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS
2064.2:1992, other than:

   (a)  subclauses 1.1, 1.3, 1.4 and 4.2 of Australian/New Zealand Standard

(4) For the application of those Standards:

   (a)  a device is class A equipment, and must comply with the class A limits
        set out in the Standards, if it is not designed or intended to be
        directly or indirectly connected to a low voltage mains electricity
        supply; and

   (b)  a device is class B equipment, and must comply with the class B limits
        set out in the Standards, if it is designed or intended to be directly
        or indirectly connected to a low voltage mains electricity supply; and

   (c)  a device is class B equipment, and must comply with the class B limits
        set out in the Standards, if it is designed or intended to be directly
        or indirectly connected to:

        (i)    a low voltage mains electricity supply; and

        (ii)   any other kind of electricity supply.
