Cellular & IoT Devices: Approvals in Australia and New Zealand

In recent years there has been a rapid proliferation of wireless communications devices, especially for the Internet of Things (IoT). As IoT rollout continues to accelerate, the complexity of regulatory approvals, such as Regulatory Compliance Mark (RCM) are increasing.

Using IoT devices that include wireless and cellular communications (e.g. LTE Cat-M1, NB-IoT) for control and monitoring of everything from factories to farms means that regulatory compliance will involve compliance with ACMA regulations for EMC, Telecommunications, Radiocommunications, Electromagnetic Radiation/SAR and Electrical Safety (both ACMA and ERAC).
