9 What is a compliance label

(1) A compliance label for a device is a label that meets the requirements of this section and sections 9A to 9D. (2) The label must consist of either: (a) the RCM; or (b) if the label is applied before 1 March 2016—either of the compliance marks.

Note: Section 9E imposes a requirement on a supplier who supplies a wireless audio transmitter to ensure that a separate label, in addition to a compliance label, is applied to the device at the time the device is supplied.

Location of compliance label (3) Subject to sections 9C and 9D, the label must be placed on the device on a place that is accessible by the user.

Note: Section 9C deals with situations where applying a label to the surface of a device is not possible or practical. Section 9D gives a supplier the option of labelling some types of device electronically.

(4) A label is not accessible if it is necessary to use a specialised tool to gain access to it.
