澳洲通訊及媒體管理局(ACMC)根據2009年的公開討論做出一項原則性的決議,要將現有的多項符合性標章整合成
( G4 i( R1 F8 ]" k, t包括電信、無線電通訊、電磁相容與電磁輻射(EME)技術要求在內的單一符合性標章,即RCM(意謂法規符合性

Following a public discussion period in 2009, the ACMA (Australian Communications and Media Authority) has made an in-principle

covering telecommunications, radiocommunications, EMC and EME technical requirements.

Subject to final ACMA approval, from 1 July 2012 all ACMA Labelling Notices will specify the RCM as the compliance mark to indicate

The implementation of a consolidated compliance mark will lessen some industry administrative burdens by reducing the complexity of the
