1. RCM mark
The RCM registration mark in Australia and New Zealand indicates that the supplier has declared that their product complies with the safety and other requirements outlined in their respective electrical safety laws/regulations, as well as the electromagnetic compatibility requirements outlined in their respective radio communications acts (the Australian Radio Communications Act and the New Zealand Radio Communications Act).
The statutory governing bodies of the other states are acceptable as long as the supplier is authorized to use the RCM logo in any one state, resulting in the achievement of a state passage that has already been approved by the federal government.
On March 1, 2013, RCM commenced the transition to replace the C-tick and A-tick marks, and the introduction of the new Electrical Equipment Safety System (EESS). The RCM became mandatory as of March 1, 2016.
