Wrong! Meeting RCM (Regulatory Compliance Mark) requirements is important for ensuring that your product complies with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and radiofrequency (RF) emissions standards in Australia and New Zealand. However, depending on the specific nature of the product and its intended use, there may be other obligations and regulations to consider beyond RCM requirements.
While RCM applicability under ACMA depends on the specific kinds of product (ACMA exempts some Medical and Automotive products) additional regulatory requirements may apply. Here's a brief overview:
Medical Devices: Medical devices are subject to specific regulations and standards to ensure their safety and effectiveness. In Australia, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) regulates medical devices, and in New Zealand, it's the New Zealand Medicines and Medical Devices Safety Authority (Medsafe). Compliance with the RCM for EMC and RF emissions may still be essential, but you'll also need to meet medical device regulations and standards and other relevant directives.
Automotive Products: In the case of some automotive products, they need to comply with Automotive regulatory body FCAI for safety and performance standards. These standards can vary by region, and you may need to meet additional requirements beyond RCM to ensure the safety and quality of automotive products. ADR (Australian Design Rules) specify safety and performance standards for motor vehicles in Australia, NZDAR (New Zealand Design Rules, similar to the ADRs, these rules apply to the design and construction of motor vehicles in New Zealand.
Heavy Industrial Equipment: Heavy industrial equipment is often subject to safety standards and environmental regulations. Compliance with RCM is a part of ensuring electromagnetic compatibility, but there might be specific safety and environmental standards that apply to heavy industrial machinery. Compliance for heavy industrial equipment can vary based on the type of machinery and its specific applications.
