To all our customers from down under: you may have noticed something a little different about Quail’s Australian power cord plugs. There is a new marking on the plug that supplements the Australian standard for approving electronics in Australia and New Zealand.
As of March 1, 2013, The Australian Communication and Media Authority (ACMA) and the New Zealand Radio Spectrum Management (RSM) consolidated regulatory certifications for electrical equipment to the Regulatory Compliance Mark (RCM). On that same date, manufacturers were required to register in a national database for medium and high safety risk electrical equipment. RCM complies with the Electrical Equipment Safety System (EESS) standards.
The new RCM regulatory compliance marking is supplementing the existing SAA approval entity, the standard compliance for the import and sale of electrical equipment, accessories and appliances in Australia and New Zealand.
Quail’s 8530 Australian plugs and 3500 International Electro-technical Commission (IEC) jumper cable series will include the new RCM markings just above the unit’s file number.
