Compliance
Radio Spectrum Management (RSM) is responsible for ensuring that licensing and product compliance requirements are met.
We achieve this by:
- managing audits or radio transmitters to ensure that transmissions are in accordance with the terms and conditions of a licence.
- managing audits of manufacturers, importers, and retailers of electrical, electronic and radio products to ensure that these are compliant with standards, labelling, and product declaration requirements.
- coordinating follow-up to non-compliance including the issue of Warning Notices and Infringements Notices, or prosecution proceedings as appropriate.
RSM compliance programme is based on:
- Radiocommunication act 1989
- Radiocommunications Regulations 2001
- Radiocommunications Notices and Codes of Practice prescribed in the New Zealand Gazette.
