Where this applies

This record is scoped to Commonwealth (federal). Scope is part of the claim: a rule that binds one part of a country does not bind the whole of it, and this library states the scope its sources state.

Instrument

Radiocommunications Act 1992 (Cth); Telecommunications Act 1997 (Cth); Radiocommunications Equipment (General) Rules 2021

Who it binds

Suppliers of customer equipment, cabling, and radio or telecommunications devices regulated by the ACMA.

What it requires

The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) requires a supplier to ensure covered equipment meets the applicable technical standards, and to label it with the Regulatory Compliance Mark (RCM) — or a QR code linking to a page that shows the RCM — before supply. This is a separate legal regime from the state-based EESS electrical-safety regime; the same physical product can be subject to both.
