Created in 2013, the Regulatory Compliance Mark (RCM Mark) replaced both the C-Tick and A-Tick certification programs in Australia. By combining compliance requirements for telecoms equipment and EME/EMC testing, the RCM Mark provides a single, integrated approach to certification for wireless devices in Australia and New Zealand.
RCM Marking ensures the safety and performance of telecoms, electrical, and wireless devices. By placing an RCM Mark on products and equipment, manufacturers certify that their devices meet all applicable standards required for product safety and performance.
KC
KN 32, KN 35, KS X3123:2020
KCC Grantee Code: R2P, dx3
Korea: 3Dconnexion products are certified for compliance to the Korea Communications Commission (KCC) regulations. The KCC compliance mark is transitioning to the KC mark. Products are subject to both emissions and immunity standards in Korea for EMC compliance. A unique identifier code is located under the KC mark to indicate certification.
BSMI
CNS13438(2006), CNS14336-1 (2010), CNS15663 Section 5 (2013)
Taiwan: 3Dconnexion products are compliant to the BSMI regulations for information technology equipment.
2. Wireless Communication
Some of 3Dconnexion’s product can operate with wireless functionality. These devices are developed, designed and tested to comply with the many wireless requirements throughout the world. This compliance ensures that these devices do not cause any harm to the wireless networks. In addition, 3Dconnexion has verified that these devices do not violate any power and frequency spectrum allocations on a country by country basis.
Besides the wireless communication compliance testing within CE (EU), FCC (US), IC (Canada), RCM (Australia and New Zealand), KC (Korea), 3Dconnexion’s products are certified by the following radio communication specific compliance marks.
