Kevin, two questions: 1. What is the scope of the EESS? Does it only cover household equipment?
2. Current Suppliers (those already on ACMA's supplier ID database) have 3 years to register on the EESS database but starting on 1 July 2012 all products entering Australia must have the single RCM mark, right?

Sent by: [email protected] Hi Christopher, As Brian O?Connell said, SAA Certification is not a regulatory requirement. The external power supply, as Ron Pickard said, would need: · An electrical safety ?Certificate of Approval?; · To comply with EMC regulations; and · To comply Australian MEPS requirements and be registered on the MEPS database. The WiFi device would need to comply with both radiocommunications regulations applicable to any radio device supplied to the market, i.e. the Australian Radiocommunications Labelling Notice (RLN), plus radio licensing requirements. Providing this is a stand-alone WiFi device (i.e. its sole purpose in life is to transmit and receive WiFi) then EMC regulations would not apply. If it has other capability as well it would be required to comply while the transmitter is in idle mode. If this is a ?portable/mobile? device, then Australian EMR regulations would also apply.

Folks, Does a 802.11 wifi product require a SAA certification to ship our products to Australia or New Zealand? We do not manufacturer the 12Vdc wall mount adapter. Thanks in advance for any help.
