In Australia and New Zealand, the Electrical Regulatory Authorities Council (ERAC) requires manufacturers or suppliers of "in-scope" electrical equipment to register the equipment under the EESS for regulatory compliance. If a company is located outside Australia or New Zealand, it must appoint a local entity to act as its Authorised Representative. This representative takes legal responsibility for ensuring that the product meets all relevant safety requirements, including compliance with RCM (Regulatory Compliance Mark) standards.
As part of its comprehensive compliance services, Universal Approvals Pty Ltd provides:
Local Representation: Acting as the legal entity responsible for the compliance of your products under Australian law.
Product Registration under EESS: Managing the registration of electrical and electronic products in the EESS database to ensure they meet national safety standards.
Documentation Management: Overseeing the collation, review, and maintenance of product compliance documentation, including test reports, declarations of conformity, and relevant certificates.
Ongoing Compliance Support: Keeping manufacturers informed about regulatory updates and ensuring products remain compliant with any new or changing standards.
Liaison with Regulatory Authorities: Handling all communications with ERAC and other relevant regulatory bodies, ensuring that any queries or issues related to product compliance are swiftly addressed.
