A short checklist covering the Regulatory Compliance Mark and the approvals behind it, so your electrical and electronic imports clear customs and stay legal to sell.
The Regulatory Compliance Mark (RCM) signals that a product meets Australian electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility requirements. Getting it right up front avoids seized shipments and unsellable stock.
Confirm which approvals apply
Identify whether your product is electrical, electronic, or covered by EMC rules, then map it to the relevant standards. The requirements differ substantially by product category.
Register as a responsible supplier
Before applying the RCM, you must be registered on the national database as a responsible supplier and hold the evidence of compliance for your product.
Keep your compliance folder ready
Maintain test reports, a compliance declaration and supplier documentation together. If a regulator asks, you should be able to produce the full evidence chain quickly.
