3.1 Compliance labels
Requirement for devices (other than low risk devices) to bear compliance label
(1) If an applicable standard applies to a device that is not a low risk device, and the device complies with the standard, the device must bear a compliance label, consisting of the RCM.
(2) Subject to sections 3.6 and 3.6A, the compliance label must be placed on the device on a place that is accessible by the user.
Note: Section 3.6 deals with situations where applying a label to the surface of a device is not possible or practicable. Section 3.6A gives a supplier the option of labelling some types of devices electronically.
(3) A label is not accessible if it is necessary to use a specialised tool to gain access to it.
Note: Section 4.2 applies to a supplier that chooses to apply a compliance label to a low risk device.
Note: The effect of applying these provisions to a low risk device is to require the supplier to comply with record‑keeping obligations, whether or not the low risk device has a compliance label applied to it.
(c) a person who is authorised by the manufacturer or agent to apply the label on behalf of the manufacturer or agent.
(c) a person who is authorised by the importer or agent to apply the label on behalf of the importer or agent.
(3) This section is subject to section 3.6A.
3.5 Format of compliance label
A compliance label must be at least 3 mm high.
(4) This section is subject to section 3.6A.
(4) Subsection 3.1(2) and sections 3.4 and 3.6 do not apply to a label applied under this section.
If it is possible for a device, to which a compliance label is applied, to be installed or operated incorrectly, to the extent that the device may be used in a way that the device does not comply with an applicable standard for the device, the supplier of the device must supply documentation with the device that sets out specifications for correct installation and operation to minimise that possibility.
Example: If a variable speed drive was fitted with a 1.2 m cable from the controller to the motor when it was tested and shown compliant, the instructions must specify that the same type and length of cable must be used when installed, unless testing was performed with different cables.
(1) Subject to subsection (2), this Part applies in relation to a device to which an applicable standard applies.
(2) Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6 do not apply in relation to a variant of a device (original device) if:
4.2 Use of RCM subject to registration on national database
A supplier must be registered on the national database before a compliance label is applied to a device.
Note: Under section 187 of the Act, a supplier that fails to comply with requirements that must be met before a label is applied to a device may commit an offence.
