The Regulatory Compliance Mark (RCM) is a trademarked symbol that denotes a claim that a product is safe for use in Australia and New Zealand because it satisfies applicable regulatory requirements. [1] These requirements comprise both the requirements under the Electrical Equipment Safety System (EESS) and the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) requirements for EMC, EME, and telecommunications and wireless devices. [2] [3] [4] As of May 2024 [update], the EESS regulates the safety of household electrical equipment in the Australian states of Queensland, Victoria, Western Australia and Tasmania. [5] [6]
Owned by the Electrical Regulatory Authorities Council (ERAC) – the peak body of electrical safety regulators in Australia and New Zealand – and the ACMA, RCM use is defined by AS/ NZS 4417. [7] [8] On 1 March 2016, the RCM became mandatory and replaced ACMA's A-tick and C-tick marks. [9] Similar to the CE mark, the RCM is not a quality indicator nor a certification mark. [10]
