Product compliance audit update



Published: 09.02.2010

Between 1 July and 31 December 2009, Radio Spectrum Management completed 210 supplier audits, and issued 21 infringement notices and 81 warning notices as part of its product compliance audit programme.

Product suppliers are audited to check product labelling, compliance documentation and licences.

The purpose of these audits is to protect the utility of the radio spectrum by ensuring compliance of electrical products and radio transmitters with New Zealand regulatory requirements. 

Common breaches of product compliance include:

  • supplying products operating outside the General User Licence
  • supplying products with insufficient labelling
  • supplying products with no compliance folders or insufficient compliance folders.
