DetailsThe Regulatory Compliance Mark (RCM) shows electrical equipment meets Australian safety and electromagnetic compatibility requirements and is registered by an Australian responsible supplier. For an EV charger, look for the RCM on the product, then check the brand and model on the national EESS registration database. CE or TÜV marks alone don't count in Australia.
- Look for the RCM on the charger's label, not just on the website or box.
- Check the database: search the brand and model on the EESS registration database at eess.gov.au.
- Red flags: CE-only marking, no Australian supplier, adapters in the box, prices far below local retail.
- Buying from us? Ask us for the registration details of the SEVR 10A portable charger or EVSE Australia 15A portable charger before you order, and check them yourself.
Step by step
How to check an EV charger's registration
- Find the label on the charger's control box. Note the brand, model number and whether it shows the RCM (a tick inside a triangle-and-circle shape).
- Open the EESS registration database at eess.gov.au.
- Search by brand or model. A registered product shows the responsible supplier, the model and the registration status.
- Match the model exactly. Registration covers specific models. A similar-looking charger from the same factory isn't automatically covered.
- Ask the seller for the registration details if you can't find it. A legitimate Australian seller can give you the responsible supplier and registration.
Red flags
Signs a charger may not be legal to sell here
- Only CE, TÜV or 'UL' marks, with no RCM.
- Ships from overseas with no Australian business or responsible supplier named.
- Comes with, or is sold alongside, 15A-to-10A adapters.
- Claims of 16 A or 32 A from a standard Australian plug.
- A price far below what Australian retailers charge for comparable chargers.
Why it matters
What the RCM protects you from
An EV charger runs near its rating for hours, outdoors, often unattended overnight. The registration scheme makes an Australian business responsible for the product meeting local standards, and gives regulators someone to recall it from. If something goes wrong with an unregistered charger, there may be nobody here to stand behind it, and your insurer may ask questions.

Frequently asked
What does RCM mean on an EV charger?
The Regulatory Compliance Mark shows the equipment is registered for sale in Australia under the electrical safety (EESS) and ACMA schemes. Overseas marks such as CE or TÜV alone do not meet Australian requirements.
How do I check if an EV charger is approved in Australia?
Look for the RCM on the charger's label, then search the brand and model on the EESS registration database at eess.gov.au. A registered product lists its Australian responsible supplier.
Is a CE-marked EV charger legal in Australia?
CE alone is not enough. Chargers sold in Australia need to meet Australian requirements and be registered by a responsible supplier, shown by the RCM.
Who is responsible if I import a charger myself?
If you import electrical equipment yourself, you can become its responsible supplier, with the obligations that come with that. Buying from an Australian seller of registered models avoids that.
