Australia RCM Guide for Telecom Device
Australia Market Access for Telecom Device
Telecom Approvals
A certification by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) equates to Australian market approval for manufacturers of wireless technology products.
The main task of ACMA is to regulate telecommunications matters in the country by means of laws, regulations, standards, and legal norms.
The part of this task also relates to the approval of products with radio technologies for the Australian market. Such ACMA certification is therefore the decisive prerequisite for manufacturers to be able to market their products in Australia. These include the need for local testing for certain equipment on site in Australia or the involvement of a local representative to carry out and complete the certification process.
Under ACMA the following categories of products has to be approved:
telecommunications customer equipment (CE) and customer cabling (CC)
radiocommunications devices
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) performance of electrical and electronic devices, vehicles, and devices with internal combustion engines
electromagnetic energy (EME) from radio transmitters, that are devices that are only radiocommunications transmitters are not subject to the EMC arrangements
An RCM compliance label requires to be placed on a device that has been certified by the supplier as meeting any applicable standards that apply to that device. There are requirements for the RCM compliance label including durability, legibility, positioning, font, and size.
REGULATORY AGENCY
- Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA)
REGULATIONS FOR TELECO
- Products are classified into 3 levels depending on the degree of impact non-compliance has on the safety of persons or the integrity of a telecommunications network or facility – Level 1 having limited impact and Level 3 having risk of adverse impact.
- Manufacturers are required to sign a DoC and hold a product description.
- Regulated products should also be affixed with the RCM Mark.
GUIDELINES
- A local representative is required to apply to use the RCM Mark.
- Manufacturers of Level 2 and 3 products are also required to hold a test report or Technical Construction File.
- The test report for Level 3 products must be from an accredited test laboratory.
