Australian RCM certification
Regulatory Compliance Mark (RCM, Regulatory the Compliance Mark) is a registered Mark, indicates that the supplier statement products conform to the Australian states and New Zealand the safety of the electrical safety laws/regulations and other requirements, as well as in Australia "radio communications act" and "radio communications act" regulation of New Zealand emc requirements. The RCM logo can only be used if the product meets the requirements of both electrical safety regulations and EMC regulations.
The owner of the RCM logo is the federal government, the electrical safety statutory authority and the EMC statutory authority all accept the RCM logo as a supplier qualification statement. As long as the supplier is approved to use the RCM mark in any state, the statutory authorities of other states can accept it, so as to achieve a single approval of the state passage.
The supplier shall apply and register before using the RCM logo. Once registered, the supplier may use the RCM logo on all products that meet the requirements of applicable laws and regulations. If it is found that the product using RCM logo does not meet the legal/regulatory requirements for use, the supplier shall be punished in accordance with the provisions of the Australian trademark law.
RCM
RCM= Safety + EMC + Importer Declaration
1. Safety(product Safety certification):
Product safety certification includes two parts: electric products are divided into control class (Prescribed Product) and the control products (Non - Prescribed Product).
1) control electrical products are divided into AS/NZS4417.2, including electric heating equipment, refrigeration equipment, electric tools, spare parts, etc. Three license issuing unit in Queensland, new south wales and Victoria are the most active in the certification process. Control class electrical force has to be issued by the monitoring department Approval Certificate (Certificate of Approval), identification and regulations play the Shanghai number (must). The first letter of the certificate number indicates which state or region the certificate is issued by.
(1) Q04051(Queensland) -- -q Number
(2) W2015(Western Australia, Western Australia) -- -w Number
(3) V03101(Victoria Victoria Victoria Victoria Victoria) -- -esv Certificate V Number
(4) NSW18099(New South Wales)-- -doft Certificate NSW Number
2) non-controlled Electrical appliances can be sold directly without certification, but the manufacturer shall ensure that the Electrical appliances of the products meet the Australian standard AS/ nzs3820:1998 (Essential Safety Requirements for Low Voltage Electrical Equipment); Monitoring department to meet the requirements of the standard product conformity Certificate (Certificate of Suitability). Obtain a Certificate of conformity electrical products can play in the Shanghai, the number of the Certificate last letters show the Certificate issued by which state or territory,
(1)CS/431/Q (Queensland)
(2)CS/108/NSW(new south wales)
2. EMC(electromagnetic compatibility)
Electromagnetic compatibility in Australia conform to the plan is based on 1992 Radio communication method (Radio Communications ACT 1992) formulation, covered a wide range of products, the including motor drive and heating appliances, electric tools and similar products, light and similar equipment, TV receivers and audio equipment, information technology, industrial, scientific and medical instruments and equipment, fire engines and arc welding equipment. The plan divides the product into three categories according to the risk of electromagnetic interference generated by the product. The second and third categories must be marked with c-tick marks. However, no matter which category the product belongs to, it must meet the relevant EMC standards.
