Hello all, I've had an enquiry for a product we produce from Australia from an entity (not individual) down under. The product in question is an 'industrial' power supply unit, 230V 50Hz AC in, 115V 400Hz out up to 3kW. It is self-declared CE mark for EMC & LVD (EN 61326-1 and EN 61010-1) plus RoHS. So I was trying to see what needs to be done to meet Australian requirements to import and place on the market. It appears, however, that there is plenty of guidance for the RCM requirements but not that much for a product which doesn't fall in to that category by virtue of not being a 'consumer' 'household' product. E.g. from https://www.saaapprovals.com.au/resources/frequently-asked-questions/
"Frequently Asked Questions 1. What are the requirements for importing and/or selling electrical products? All electrical equipment imported, and sold in, Australia must be proven to be electrically safe. All electrical products, regardless of use, must comply with AS/NZS 3820 which is the general electrical safety standard. If the item is for use in a house, or is to be sold over the internet to individuals without a registered ABN, then the product must comply with the requirements of the RCM, as detailed in AS/NZS 4417.2 and on www.eess.gov.au. High risk electrical articles must be certified by a State regulator, or a JAS-ANZ accredited certifier like SAA." That doesn't really expand on what is required if the product is not for 'use in a house' and going to be sold/imported to an entity with a registered ABN. Anyway thanks for reading, any pointers gratefully received.
