Regulatory Compliance Mark

The Regulatory Compliance Mark (RCM) is a trademarked symbol that denotes a claim that a product is safe for use in Australia and New Zealand because it satisfies applicable regulatory requirements.

[1] These requirements comprise both the requirements under the Electrical Equipment Safety System (EESS) and the Australian Communications & Media Authority (ACMA) requirements for EMC, EME, and telecommunications and wireless devices.

[2][3][4] As of May 2024[update], the EESS regulates the safety of household electrical equipment in the Australian states of Queensland, Victoria, Western Australia and Tasmania.

[5][6] Owned by the Electrical Regulatory Authorities Council (ERAC) – the peak body of electrical safety regulators in Australia and New Zealand – and the ACMA, RCM use is defined by AS/NZS 4417.

[7][8] On 1 March 2016, the RCM became mandatory and replaced ACMA's A-tick and C-tick marks.
