澳洲通訊及媒體管理局(ACMC)根據2009年的公開討論做出一項原則性的決議,要將現有的多項符合性標章整合成
" }& u. _* R8 B* ~ ~& m7 ~* {包括電信、無線電通訊、電磁相容與電磁輻射(EME)技術要求在內的單一符合性標章,即RCM(意謂法規符合性' _& O" z- U a/ b, a8 `8 h

Subject to final ACMA approval, from 1 July 2012 all ACMA Labelling Notices will specify the RCM as the compliance mark to indicate

About RCM mark: RCM mark = C-tick + Safety
$ p* [! e: W1 d Z7 }) ACurrently, RCM mark is an alternative mark to C-tick but is not an alternative mark to A-tick telecommunications compliance mark. If a% s& ]* f' a* H2 l+ s
supplier is labeling a product with the RCM mark, the supplier must comply with the requirements of AS/NZS 4417 (Electricity Safety).
5 f2 C* V s+ \& b) e+ ^, U H. RAS/NZS 4417 includes the following sections:
