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.
