Subject: Australian RCM (Regulatory Compliance Mark)

Treggers,

The RCM in Australia is still a reasonably new concept.  The RCM standards
were published on 5 Aug 96 by Standards Australia:
-  AS/NZS 4417.1 - General rules for use;
-  AS/NZS 4417.2 - Specific requirements for electrical safety; and
-  AS/NZS 4417.3 - Specific requirements for EMC

At this time it is only accepted for EMC.  It is proposed that it may be
accepted for the "Radiocommunications Framework" and the new
"Telecommunications Framework" (which will take effect on 1 Jul, 97) plus
medical and plumbing products but this has not yet been decided.

The RCM will be a triangle (flat bottom, apex at top) with effectively the
C-tick mark inside it however, the C-tick is not black with a white tick. 
It is just a large C (letter in black) with a tick starting in the center
like the C-tick mark.

Regards,
Kevin
