3.Q & A
Why this device needs to comply with EMC technical standard?
Under Australian Communications & Media Authority’s (ACMA)’s arrangement, All devices covered by the EMC regulatory arrangements must comply with an applicable technical standard. Suppliers are required to label or maintain a Declaration of Conformity (DoC).

Why the RCM ?
The RCM has recently (1 March 2013) been confirmed as the single compliance mark for all ACMA arrangements. The RCM indicates a device’s compliance with applicable ACMA technical standards—that is, for telecommunications, radiocommunications, EMC and EME.
Any person who applies the RCM label must be authorised to do so by the supplier.
Any person who applies labels without authorisation may be subject to prosecution for the misuse of a protected symbol.

No .A supplier who has been issued with a supplier code number by the ACMA prior to 1 March 2013 can continue to use the supplier code number with the C-Tick/A-Tick until the end of the transition period.
