In modern families, smart audio has become an important part of life. They can not only play music and provide information, but also control smart home devices to improve the convenience and comfort of life. In order to be successful in the Australian market, it is vital to ensure that smart speakers meet local standards, and achieving RCM certification is a key step in achieving this goal.
What is RCM certification?
The Regulatory Compliance Mark (RCM) certification is the official mark of compliance for electronic products in Australia and New Zealand. It indicates that the product complies with the requirements of the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) and the Australian Electrical Safety Standard. For smart speakers, RCM certification means that the product has been rigorously tested for electrical safety and wireless communication, and can be legally sold in the Australian market.
