Australia Market Access for EMC

EMC 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.

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.
