澳洲電氣管理局協會ERAC (Electrical Regulatory authorities council) 目前暫停對產品登錄到國家資料庫 (National Database) 的要求。 更進一步的說明,可以參考 ERAC 網站 http://www.erac.gov.au/ 的原文公告 (以下複製於網頁上的說明,提供參考。)

“Note: Until the processes for uploading certificates (from certifiers not using the ERAC on-line certificate application process) onto the national database is active, Electrical Safety Regulators will accept compliance to the rules for use of the RCM to be that the responsible supplier is registered on the EESS registration database (the equipment does not need to be registered).

Once the certificate upload facility is activated by ERAC the requirements for use of the RCM will revert back to that specified in AS/NZS 4417 standards, taking into account transition periods of the EESS published by ERAC.”

注意事項:

考慮到ERAC 公告「電氣設備安全體系」(Electrical Equipment Safety Scheme, EESS) 施行的轉換過渡期,目前上載證書至國家資料庫系統的功能尚無法使用,所以在系統問題解決之前,只要產品符合使用RCM 標誌的規範,且「責任供應商」(當地代理商) 相關訊息已於EESS 的登錄系統註冊即可,產品資訊目前則不需要登錄。

將來一旦ERAC 啟用上載證書的系統後,所有對於RCM的定義,將回歸到標準AS/NZS 4417 及RCM法規要求。
