Product compliance audits
Published: 13.10.2009
Radio Spectrum Management (RSM) carries out an audit programme of product suppliers to check product labelling, compliance documentation and licences each year.
The purpose of these audits is to protect the utility of the radio spectrum by ensuring compliance with New Zealand regulatory requirements. The audit programme achieves outcomes through a mix of education, warnings and Infringement Notices. Audits provide importers, distributors and retailers with an opportunity to learn more about the requirements of their licence.
Common breaches of product compliance include:
- Supply of products operating outside the General User Licence
- Supply of products with insufficient labelling
- Supply of products with no compliance folders or insufficient compliance folders
From the beginning of this financial year on 1 July 2009 until 30 September 2009, RSM has completed:
