RCM= Safety + EMC + Importer Declaration

1. Safety（Product safety certification）:

      Product safety certification consists of two parts: electrical products are classified into the control of the electrical (Prescribed Product) and non-regulated products (Non-prescribed product).

1). Control of electrical products according to AS / NZS4417.2 division, including electric equipment, refrigeration equipment, power tools, spare parts and so on. Three of the issuing units, Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria, are most active in the certification process, and mandatory electrical appliances are required to obtain a Certificate of Approval issued by the monitoring department and require the identification (must be issued with a certificate number) The The first letter of the certificate number shows which state or region the certificate was issued. Such as:

(1) Q04051 (Queensland Queensland) --- Q Number

(2) W2015 (Western Australia West Australia) --- W Number

(3) V03101 (Victoria Victoria) --- ESV Certificate V Number

(4) NSW18099 (New South Wales New South Wales) --- DOFT Certificate NSW Number

2). Non-regulated electrical appliances may be sold without direct certification, but the manufacturer shall ensure that the electrical safety of the product complies with the Australian Standard AS / NZS3820: 1998 (Essential Safety Requirements for Low Voltage Electrical Equipment); the monitoring department will issue compliance for products that meet the standards Certificates (Certificate of Suitability). The electrical certificate of the certificate of conformity can be issued with the certificate number, and the last letter of the certificate shows which state or region the certificate is issued,

(1) CS / 431 / Q (Queensland)

(2) CS / 108 / NSW (New South Wales)

2 EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility)

    Australia's Electromagnetic Compatibility Compliance Program is based on the 1992 Radio Communications ACT 1992, which covers a wide range of products including motor-driven and heat-generating electrical products, power tools and similar products, electric lights and similar equipment, Television receivers and audio equipment, information technology products, industrial science and medical equipment, lighting engines and arc welding equipment. The program divides the product into three categories according to the degree of risk of electromagnetic interference, and the second and third products must be accompanied by a C-Tick mark. But regardless of which category the product belongs to, must comply with the relevant EMC standards.

A class of products: only a slight impact on the use of wireless spectrum devices, such as manual switches, simple relays, brushless squirrel cage induction motors, AC power supply / power transformers, resistors and so on. Such products in the production and sales can voluntarily apply for the use of C-Tick logo.

Class II products: products that have a greater impact on devices that use radio spectrum, such as microprocessors or clocked digital devices, rectifiers or slip ring motors, arc welding equipment, switched power supplies, photometric regulators and motors Speed ＆#8203;＆#8203;controllers, information technology (CISPR 22) category (from the third category to the second category since November 7, 2003).

Three types of products: products that have a serious impact on the use of wireless spectrum devices, such as industrial, scientific and medical equipment, Group 2 (CISPR11).

RCM related applications

(1) If the product has CB and national differences, you can go directly to the Safety Certificate. Coupled with the EMC part of the agent can help out of the announcement. The product can be sold to Australia and marked with RCM Mark.
 
(2) Safety Certificate: When applying safety part, if the product is direct plug in, you need to do AU Plug Test (Test Standard: AS / NZS 3112: 2004). If the product is Desktop, you do not need to do this test The

(3) EMC Report --- that can be C-Tick Report (Test Standard: AS / NZS CISPR 22: 2002), it can be CE EMC Report.

 
RCM (SAA) issued by the unit under the post

CB member laboratory test, the test report submitted to the state certification authority to apply for a certificate. There are seven organizations (including New Zealand) who are eligible to receive a certification application:

1）DepartmentofFairTrading,NewSouthWales(NSW)

2)DepartmentofMinesandEnergy,Queensland

3)TheOfficeoftheChiefElectricalInspector,Victoria

4)OfficeofEnergy Policy,SouthAustralia

5)OfficeofEnergy,WesternAustralia

6)OfficeofElectricity,StandardsandSafety,Tasmania

7)Ministryof Commerce,NewZealand
