Certification Introduction:

RCM certification is a logo introduced in Australia and New Zealand to achieve a unified logo for electrical products. The logo is a trademark owned by regulatory agencies in Australia and New Zealand, indicating that products meet both safety and EMC requirements and are mandatory. RCM certification controlled electrical products 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 need to be registered. Currently, only Level 3 electrical products are required to be registered. There are a total of 56 categories with high risk factors, such as power adapters and vacuum cleaners.

Under normal circumstances, the RCM logo should be displayed on the product label. The agent number originally required, the new RCM does not need to indicate the agent number. After the release of this requirement on March 1, 2013, there is a three-year transition period, which has been enforced since March 1, 2016, so manufacturers need to strictly implement the relevant tests of this standard in accordance with the requirements.
