This standard specifies the requirements for the Regulatory Compliance Mark (RCM) and its placement on electrical and electronic equipment to indicate compliance with regulations applicable to aspects of the equipment as covered in Part 2 of this Standard.

It is to be read in conjunction with ACMA Labelling Notices, RSM Compliance Notices and electrical safety legislation applicable to electrical and electronic equipment in Australia and New Zealand including Acts and Regulation as well as Equipment Safety Rules made under that legislation. Standard AS/NZS 4417.1 is also to be read in conjunction with AS/NZS 4417.2 and vice versa.

In the event of any inconsistency between these documents an Act will prevail over Regulations, which in turn prevail over Equipment Safety Rules. All of these will prevail over AS/NZS 4417.1 and AS/NZS 4417.2 in this event.

NOTE The RCM is a trademark owned by Australian and New Zealand regulators and its design and use are legally protected by registration in Australia and New Zealand.
