RCC Applications

An NRCS Regulatory Compliance Certificate (RCC) may be required for specified products or regulated equipment categories, according to the applicable compulsory requirements.

Businesses supplying equipment such as certain electricity meters and other products within RCC scope should establish whether RCC, LOA or both processes apply.

How We Help

We help identify the NRCS requirements, review documentation and coordinate the relevant regulatory process.

Requirements & Guidance

Check these details before starting. Exact requirements depend on the product, business model and application route.

Documents Key Checks Common Risks

Typical supporting information includes:

  • Technical specifications and model details
  • Test reports or conformity records as required

Confirm these points and avoid common pitfalls:

  • Confirm product category and RCC scope
  • Distinguish RCC from LOA requirements
  • Check traceability of products and report evidence

Issues worth addressing early:

  • Using an LOA route where RCC is required
  • Incomplete standards evidence
  • Mismatch between approval scope and product

How It Works

The route and supporting technical evidence depend on the regulated product or compliance issue.

1. Check RCC Scope
2. Prepare Evidence
3. Submit to NRCS
