LABELS, CERTIFICATIONS & STANDARDS As New Caledonia is not part of the European Union (it is "associated"), European regulations are not directly applicable. However, the CE or NF mark remains a reference for consumers. Référentiel de Construction de Nouvelle-Calédonie (RCNC) Imported materials come from a variety of sources and are subject to different standards systems. The RCNC therefore makes it possible to ensure the safety of construction (design, products, processes, etc.) in New Caledonia, while at the same time enhancing the value of New Caledonian materials for export by integrating New Caledonia into the international standards system.
