RCM

Introduction to RCM Certification

RCM certification is a mark introduced by Australia and New Zealand to achieve unified identification of electrical products. The mark is a trademark owned by regulatory agencies in Australia and New Zealand, indicating that the product is required to comply with both safety regulations and EMC requirements.

RCM certification controls electrical products, which are mainly divided into non regulated and regulated products, because not all products marked with RCM need to be registered. Non regulated products do not require registration, currently only Level 3 is specified, Level 2 electrical products need to be registered, which includes 56 major categories with high risk factors such as power adapters and vacuum cleaners.

Generally, the identification of RCM should be indicated on the product label. The new RCM does not need to indicate the agent number. It has been mandatory since March 1, 2016, so manufacturers need to strictly follow the requirements for testing related to this standard. Due to the new RCM requirements, unlike before, importers will bear the high risk of product quality non-compliance, and importers will need to pay registration fees and annual login fees, so there will be very few companies that can provide this service.
