For a brief description on the RCM and C-Tick, look at Bill Lyons FAQ at http://world.std.com/~techbook/compliance_faq.html.
In essence the RCM currently requires certification by an electrical safety regulator for use in Australia, as well as the SMA EMC requirements which are identical to those for use of the C-Tick. However, please note that the use of the C-Tick will change from the 1/7/97. As Joh D Cirtus and others have stated, the telecommunications regulations will change in major ways from 1/7/97. One of the changes relates to the use of the C-Tick. The SMA and AUSTEL will become one regulator. The full consequences of the changes are still not clear even after the conference this week.
