RCM认证知识普及
澳大利亚标准AS / NZS 4417.1和AS / NZS 4417.2电气产品的logo标记,以表明其符合法规要求。logo标记的通用规则对RCM的使用提出了一般要求,包括标记在设备上的位置及其尺寸要求。RCM认证是澳大利亚和新西兰引入的一种标识,取代原先的SAA、C-Tick和A-Tick标识,以实现电气产品的统一标识,该标志是澳大利亚与新西兰的监管机构拥有的商标,表示产品同时符合安规和EMC要求。
澳洲将电器产品风险程度分为三级:Level 1 低风险类;Level 2 中等风险类;Level 3是高风险的,共有61类产品。
[*]Level 1 认证要求:泛指直流供电产品(提供EMC报告直接申请RCM认证)。
[*]Level 2 认证要求:泛指交流供电产品(提供EMC报告+安规报告申请RCM认证)。
[*]Level 3 认证要求:清单中61类产品(提供EMC报告+安规报告+政府监管机构签发的合格证明或认可的外部认证计划(RECS)如SAA)申请RCM认证+EESS注册。
RCM认证管控电气产品主要分为非管制类和管制类产品,因为不是所有的产品打上RCM标记的都需要备案登记(EESS注册)。非管制类产品无需登记,目前只规定了Level 3电气产品需要登记,总共有包括了电源适配器、吸尘器等危险系数较高的61个大类。
只要是电器产品,电压范围在交流50V~1000V; 直流 120V~1500V之间,都必须符合澳洲电器安全法的要求;2013年3月1日起,Level 3产品要在澳洲国家数据库EESS注册备案,印制RCM标志,才可以在市场上销售。
RCM认证的申请流程
[*]步骤1:根据RCM产品规定对产品进行识别和分类;
[*]步骤2:进行产品测试或根据现有测试报告确定合规性;(我们实验室可以出SAA报告(安规),C-tick报告(电磁兼容))
[*]步骤3:编译并验证必要的技术和管理文档,并草拟符合性声明;
[*]步骤4:指派一个位于澳大利亚和新西兰的当地授权代表;(如果厂家没有当地代理商,我们实验室可以为客户提供)
[*]步骤5:在电气设备安全系统(EESS)数据库中注册产品信息;(如果厂家不会自己注册,我们实验室可以代为客户进行注册)
[*]步骤6:贴上RCM标记

EESS-Inscope-Equipment-Definitions-and-Risk-Levels-v4.0
In-Scope Electrical Equipment
The EESS aims to increase consumer safety through regulating household electrical equipment. The term “in-scope” is defined in law and means electrical equipment that is:[*]rated at a voltage greater than 50 V AC RMS or 120V ripple-free DC; and
[*]rated at a voltage less than 1000V AC RMS or 1500V ripple-free DC; and
[*]is designed or marketed as suitable for household, personal or similar use.
It is immaterial whether the equipment is designed or marketed for commercial or industrial purposes as well as for household use. If Regulatory Authorities (RAs) claim that an item is in-scope , it will be taken that way unless the Responsible Supplier can prove otherwise.
Risk Levels – DefinitionA feature of the EESS is the provision of a more proactive risk based approach to regulating electrical equipment. The EESS provides for in-scope electrical equipment to be classified into three levels:Risk Level 1 – electrical equipment that is classified low risk or unknown risk and is any in-scope electrical equipment not classified as Risk Level 3 or Risk Level 2.Risk Level 2 – electrical equipment that is classified as medium risk and is defined in the AS/NZS 4417.2.A list of the current Level 2 equipment can be found here.Risk Level 3 –electrical equipment that is classified as high risk and is defined in the AS/NZS 4417.2. A list of the current Level 3 equipment can be found here.
For more information on the safety requirements for In-Scope equipment click hereFor more information on registration of In-Scope equipment click hereThere are proportionate requirements for each risk level, depending upon the potential risk currently identified for the item. The EESS creates a process for Regulatory Authorities to add new equipment types to the list of in-scope equipment more quickly, move equipment types up and down risk levels as necessary, and applies a sliding scale of regulatory requirements depending on Risk Level classification.
Not In-scope Electrical Equipment
The EESS is only intended to capture electrical equipment that is for household, personal and similar use.Electrical equipment exclusively for commercial, industrial, medical, extra low voltage (operating below 50V AC RMS or 120V ripple-free DC) and high voltage (operating above 1000V AC RMS or 1500V ripple-free DC) is defined as not in-scope.Responsible Suppliers of electrical equipment that is not in-scope under the EESS definition, do not have to register, or register equipment in the EESS Registration Database.
Note: The supplier of electrical equipment that is not in-scope still has responsibility to ensure the equipment is electrically safe. This is achieved by meeting the essential safety criteria of AS/NZS 3820, essential safety requirements for electrical equipment which requires the supplier to hold evidence of compliance to the relevant standard.
Examples of equipment which is not in-scope could be a commercial bakery oven, cash register or mobile phone (please note that the mobile phone ‘charger’ is in-scope equipment Level 3 under – Power supply or charger).More information for Not In-Scope electrical equipment safety criteria please see here.
Note: Not in-scope electrical equipment may be required to comply with the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA). For more information on ACMA’s requirements contact ACMA at www.acma.gov.au

不在范围内的电气设备
EESS仅用于捕获家用,个人和类似用途的电气设备。
专门用于商业,工业,医疗,超低压(低于50V AC RMS或120V无波纹DC)和高电压(高于1000V AC RMS或1500V无波纹DC)的电气设备被定义为不在范围内。
不在EESS定义范围内的电气设备的负责任供应商,不必在EESS注册数据库中注册或注册设备。
注意:不在范围内的电气设备的供应商仍然有责任确保设备的电气安全。这可以通过满足AS / NZS 3820的基本安全标准,电气设备的基本安全要求来实现,该要求要求供应商持有符合相关标准的证据。
不在范围内的设备的示例可以是商用面包店烤箱,收银机或移动电话(请注意,移动电话“充电器”是位于级别3内的范围内设备-电源或充电器)。
有关非范围内电气设备安全标准的更多信息,请参见此处。
注意:可能不需要范围内的电气设备即可符合澳大利亚通信和媒体管理局(ACMA)的要求。有关ACMA要求的更多信息,请通过www.acma.gov.au与ACMA联系。 曾工 发表于 2021-5-11 10:48

范围内的电气设备
EESS旨在通过监管家用电气设备来提高消费者安全性。法律中对“范围内”一词进行了定义,指的是以下电气设备:
额定电压大于50 V AC RMS或120V无波纹DC; 和
额定电压低于1000V AC RMS或1500V无纹波DC; 和
为适合家庭,个人或类似用途而设计或销售。
设备是为商业目的还是工业目的而设计或销售,以及是否供家庭使用都无关紧要。如果监管机构(RA)声称某项物品在范围内,则将采用这种方式,除非负责任的供应商可以另外证明。
风险等级–定义
EESS的一个特点是提供了一种更加主动的基于风险的方法来调节电气设备。EESS将范围内的电气设备分为三级:
风险等级1 –分类为低风险或未知风险的电气设备,以及未归类为风险等级3或风险等级2的任何范围内电气设备。
风险等级2 –在AS / NZS 4417.2中定义为中等风险的电气设备。可以在此处找到当前等级2设备的列表。
风险等级3 –属于AS / NZS 4417.2中定义为高风险的电气设备。可在此处找到当前3级设备的列表。

有关注册范围内设备的更多信息,请单击此处。
每个风险级别都有相应的要求,具体取决于当前为该项目确定的潜在风险。EESS为监管机构创建了一个流程,可以更快地将新设备类型添加到范围内设备列表中,并根据需要在风险级别上下移动设备类型,并根据风险级别分类应用法规要求的滑动比例。
