Australia's latest certification requirements for RCM certification 1. The new law was officially implemented on March 1, 2013. 2. SAA certification and C-Tick certification will be phased out and replaced with RCM certification, which covers safety and EMC (C-TIck may still be applicable to some low-power wireless products). 3. All electronic products will be divided into three categories: High, medium, low Risk. We do not have detailed data on the scope. Generally speaking, products with battery drive and voltage below 12V are low risk, 240V standard voltage products are medium risk, and high voltage products are high risk. The buffer period for low-risk products is 6 months, and the buffer period for medium- and high-risk products is 3 years (this period is recommended by Australian associations, but the government has not finalized the specific laws). 4. RCM certification can only be applied for by an Australian local company. The company must apply for an RCM number from the Australian government. Chinese producers and exporters can apply for IEC or AS/NZS reports in their own name, but the report must be submitted to an Australian importer for RCM. 5. According to the expert's opinion, the importer will bear the risk of unqualified product quality (responsible party), and non-Australian companies cannot directly apply for RCM certification. It is estimated that more and more Australian companies of a certain size will change the practice of producing reports and applying for SAA by Chinese manufacturers in order to reduce costs. They will tend to designate laboratories with certain capabilities and prestige (such as Lixun Testing Group) to provide insurance reports and test data, and then they will apply for Australian RCM certification. 6. In theory, Australian laboratories can also act as an applicant to help a company obtain RCM certification. However, according to the expert's opinion, due to the greater legal responsibility, it is estimated that most Australian laboratories will not take the risk, even if they do, the related costs may be higher. 7. Australia and New Zealand are introducing the RCM logo to achieve a uniform identification of electrical products, a trademark owned by regulators in Australia and New Zealand.
