Draft Designation: DR 20017The objective of this Standard is to provide a uniform Australian/New Zealand regulatory compliance mark for electrical and electronic equipment. It is intended that such marking will aid regulators in regulatory enforcement and may aid purchasing decisions by consumers.
AS/NZS 4417 is published in separate parts as follows:
Part 1: Use of the mark
Part 2: Specific requirements for particular regulatory applications
The standard currently covers requirements for the use of the RCM for electrical safety. It also contains information on the use of the RCM for electromagnetic compatibility and radiocommunications and, in Australia, telecommunications and electromagnetic energy. Other regulatory areas may be included in the future, such as—
a) gas equipment regulatory applications in New Zealand
b) water equipment regulatory applications;
c) energy efficiency/minimum energy performance regulatory applications;
d) medical electrical equipment regulatory applications in New Zealand
This revision includes changes that are compatible with the Electrical Equipment Safety System (EESS). It also aligns this standard to the current regulatory requirements of the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) for electromagnetic compatibility, electromagnetic energy, telecommunications and radiocommunications and the New Zealand Radio Spectrum Management (RSM) regulatory requirements for electromagnetic compatibility and radiocommunications.
Information on the ACMA technical and labelling requirements for electromagnetic compatibility, electromagnetic emissions, telecommunications and radiocommunications is available at www.acma.gov.au.
Information on RSM technical and labelling requirements for electromagnetic compatibility and radiocommunications is available at www.rsm.govt.nz.
The terms ‘normative’ and ‘informative’ have been used in this Standard to define the application of the Annex to which they apply. A ‘normative’ Annex is an integral part of a Standard, whereas an ‘informative’ Annex is only for information and guidance.
