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.
