Australia & New Zealand - Electrical Equipment Safety System (EESS) & RCM mark
Demonstrate product compliance with regulatory compliance mark for your products in Australia and New Zealand
As manufacturers and responsible suppliers who would like to place your products on the market in Australia or New Zealand, you can register for the RCM marking with the Electrical Regulatory Authorities Council (ERAC) National Database online (https://equipment.erac.gov.au/Registration/ ). We are an accredited certification body (CB) by JAS-ANZ and Australian Government Regulator to be able to issue the Certificate of Approval (CoA) for Declared Articles (Level 3 product) or the Certificate of Suitability (CoS) for Non-declared Articles (Level 1 and 2 products). We can support you with your application for conformity assessment of your products. As our Certification Department is an independent unit and its certification service is an independent process - not related to other services such as testing, partnering with us means short lead times and benefitting from our established working relations with local authorities.
