澳洲通訊及媒體管理局(ACMC)根據2009年的公開討論做出一項原則性的決議,要將現有的多項符合性標章整合成! \7 P. M2 N4 N$ v7 `
包括電信、無線電通訊、電磁相容與電磁輻射(EME)技術要求在內的單一符合性標章,即RCM(意謂法規符合性% ~% U" D8 y$ q8 l) r3 G5 K
標章)。

單一符合性標章的實施可減少標章的複雜性、節省了解或符合這些標章要求的時間,進而減輕產業界在認證流程上5 W8 O% g* M1 o1 f
的負擔,同時也可能藉此改善法規的要求。

Following a public discussion period in 2009, the ACMA (Australian Communications and Media Authority) has made an in-principle$ o5 ^% ^( {/ C" ]! Z
