RCM Certification;What is RCM Certification ?

1 Basic Information
Australia Electrical product testing certification
Australia and New Zealand is introducing RCM signs, electrical products to achieve a unified identity, the logo are trademarks of Australia and New Zealand regulatory agencies have, indicates compliance with safety and EMC requirements, non-mandatory.

3 RCM Certification Application Process
Australia RCM certification process
1. The third party laboratory evaluation of products, identified by the test standard implementation;
2. Test as noncompliant items, laboratory product will be corrective and meet Australian standards to meet the requirements;
3. Test by test reports issued;
4. submit test reports to the Australian issuing agency document review;
5. Australia approved, RCM issued a certificate;
6. Customers can voluntarily or by the Laboratory of Australia website registration;

4 Australia RCM Certification Considerations
When you need to add the unity 1. Products RCM logo, note that this requirement is April 19, 2013 announcement of Australia
2-line adapters do RCM safety certification, the plugs do random testing
3. The lamp categories of products: such as T8 LED lamps, fluorescent tubes because the user can directly replace safety risk, assess the need to send samples to Australia
4. Different issuing bodies time will vary

RCM = Safety + EMC + Importer Declaration
1. Safety (product safety certification):
Product safety certification consists of two parts: the electrical control products are divided into categories of electrical (Prescribed Product) and non-regulated products (Non-prescribed product).
1). Control categories of electrical products according to AS / NZS4417.2 division, including electric equipment, refrigeration equipment, electric tools, spare parts and so on. Three of issuing units in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria, the most active in the accreditation process. Control class must be made mandatory by the electrical control department issued with a certificate (Certificate of Approval), and provides identification (must be marked with the certificate number) . The first letter of this certificate to display the certificate issued by state or region. Such as:
(1) Q04051 (Queensland Queensland) --- Q Number
(2) W2015 (Western Australia Western Australia) --- W Number
(3) V03101 (Victoria Victoria) --- ESV Certificate V Number
(4) NSW18099 (New South Wales New South Wales) --- DOFT Certificate NSW Number
2). Non-regulated type collector may sell directly without authentication, but manufacturers must ensure electrical safety products meet Australian Standard AS / NZS3820: 1998 (Essential Safety Requirements for Low Voltage Electrical Equipment); control department will be required to meet standards issued by the conformity of products The certificate (Certificate of Suitability) obtain a certificate of conformity of electrical products can be marked with a certificate number, certificate last letters show the certificate issued by state or region, such as:
(1) CS / 431 / Q (Queensland)
(2) CS / 108 / NSW (New South Wales)
2 EMC (electromagnetic compatibility)
Australia EMC Compliance Program is based on 1992 Radio Communications Act (Radio Communications ACT 1992) formulated products covers a wide range, including motor drive and heating of electrical products, power tools and similar products, lamps and similar equipment, television receivers and audio equipment, information technology products, industrial scientific and medical equipment, engine ignition and welding equipment. The program produces the degree of risk of electromagnetic interference depending on the product, the product is divided into three categories, and the second and third categories of products must be accompanied by C-Tick mark. But no matter which of the categories of products, must comply with the relevant EMC standards.
A class of products: the use of the radio spectrum device only slightly affected product, such as a manual switch, a simple relay, brushless squirrel-cage induction motors, AC / power transformers, resistors and the like. When the production and sale of such products may voluntarily apply for C-Tick mark.
Two types of products: a greater impact on the use of radio spectrum device products, such as a microprocessor or even a digital clock device, a rectifier or slip ring motors, welding equipment, switching power supply, brightness adjustment and motor speed controller, th
