RADIOCOMMUNICATIONS REPORT COVERING:

AS/NZS 4268:2017+A1
Radio equipment and systems - Short range devices - Limits and methods of measurement .
(Basically, this is required by anything that uses a radio transmitter).

Note: If a product can also be used without the transmitter, it will need also need an EMC report to cover non-remote operation.
Understand the difference:
 EMC (ElectroMagnetic Compatibility)  reports are for devices that are NOT INTENDED to emit any electromagnetic radiation at all.
 Radiocommunications reports are for devices that are SPECIFICALLY INTENDED to produce electromagnetic radiation, (eg radio transmitters) but it must be strictly restricted to the licenced frequency.

EMR REPORT COVERING:

CATEGORY A
Refers to short range radio transmitters (remothe control, Bluetooth etc)
Under ACMA Regulations, this is generally achieved if power delivered to antenna is < 25mW

OTHER MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS:

PSI-GEN
Pre-Shipment Inspection: Standard Checking Requirements for All Products
1. Factory address of PSI location MUST match address shown on initial Brief. (Critical Failure). Inspectors must take reasonable steps to verify that goods Inspected were actually made on those  premises.
2. GB internal packing must match specification (ie styrfoam, recycled fibreboard etc) and products must survive specified-height  drop test of outer carton, without obvious damage to product Giftbox.

DOC-QUAL
QUALITY OF COMPLIANCE DOCUMENTATION
For most electrical appliances, ideally there should be no more than about 7 documents, including approval certificates.  It is expected that suppliers will have all these documents in place prior to the tendering process. 

1.NO EVALUATION CAN COMMENCE AND NO ORDERS CAN BE PLACED UNTIL SUITABLE QUALITY DOCUMENTATION  HAS BEEN SIGHTED BY QA.
2. THE FACT THAT DOCUMENTATION MEETS OUR DOCUMENT QUALITY STANDARDS DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THE DOCUMENTS ARE ACCEPTABLE. THE PRODUCT STILL MUST BE SHOWN TO MATCH THE REPORTS.

Documents may be rejected for any of the following reasons:

 Test reports that are more than 3 years old
 Test reports from labs with insufficient accreditation
 Test reports that cover an unreasonable range of models, or completely unrelated models
 Illegible Documents that are not original PDFs from lab or certifying body (Scans of paper documents are NOT acceptable)
 Test reports that do not include clear identifying photos
 Test reports that mention Photo annexes which are not supplied 
 Electrical safety reports with a later date than the Approval certificate
 Electrical Safety reports that do not address Australian Regional Differences.
 Documents with unexplained discrepancies between PDF date and issue date
 Documents that are only Drafts, and/or unsigned and/or undated 
 Documents that are made up of more than 4 PDF sections (including Photo Annexe)
 Documents that are missing pages
  Mixtures of model-specific and irrelevant documents (so-called "shovelware"). That is, supplying a large stack of unsorted files and expecting  QA  to find for the relevant ones.
