Part 1 Applicable standards

1 References to standards

(1) Column 1 in Table 1.1 gives the citations of technical standards made by ACMA, as in force from time to time.

(2) Column 2 in Table 1.1 gives the titles of technical standards made by ACMA, as in force from time to time.

(2A) A reference to ‘Amdt #’ in the title of a technical standard indicates that the technical standard amends another technical standard.

Note The reference to ‘Amdt’ is followed by the amendment number of the amendment. For example, ‘(Amdt 1)’.

(2B) A reference in Table 1.1 to a revoked standard is a reference to that standard as in force immediately before the standard was revoked.

(3) However, if the expiry date (if any) that is mentioned in column 3 of Table 1.1 has passed for a technical standard, a reference in this Schedule to the technical standard is to be ignored.

Note Before the expiry date for a particular standard, ACMA expects that a replacement standard will be in force.

(4) A technical standard that expires on an expiry date that is mentioned in column 3 of Table 1.1 expires at the start of the day that is the expiry date.

Note Section 12 of the Legislative Instruments Act 2003 specifies the following times at which an instrument amending a technical standard, or a particular provision of such an amending instrument, commences:

(a) on the day specified in the instrument for the purposes of the commencement of the instrument or provision;

(b) on the day and time specified in the instrument for the purposes of the commencement of the instrument or provision;

(c) on the day, or day and time, of the commencement of an Act, or of a provision of an Act, or of the occurrence of an event, that is specified in the instrument for the purposes of the commencement of the instrument or provision;

Note 1 Categories A5, A6, A13, A15, A16, A17, A26, A27, A28 and B32 have been withdrawn. Other missing sequentially numbered categories do not exist.

Note 2 If a requirement in a standard is qualified as applying only to ‘STS CE’ or ‘CE used in the supply of a Standard Telephone Service’, the requirement does not apply to voice services carried by cell or packet technologies (eg ethernet, ATM, frame relay or IP) or by modem.

Note 3 Compliance with clause 5.8 of ACA TS003, AS/ACIF S003 or AS/CA S003.1 is only required for items designed to connect to the PSTN using digital channel associated signalling (CAS) for voice operation.

Note 4 Compliance level 2 applies only for testing the requirements in this standard that are different from the requirements in the ETSI standards.

Note 5 Compliance level 2 applies for testing items with less than 2048 kbit per second interfaces or more than 2048 kbit per second interfaces. For items with 2048 kbit per second interfaces, compliance level 3 applies.

Note 6 This note is reserved.

Note 7 Category A22 applies to customer cables and related customer equipment that are designed or intended to be installed on customer’s premises and connected to a telecommunications network or facility, including all cable types, plugs, sockets and connectors, but not including surge protective devices (SPDs) supplied for installation by registered cabling providers. Such SPDs are required to comply with Category A52.

Note 8 Compliance level 2 applies only for testing the ‘emergency calling’ and ‘ignition of flammable atmospheres’ requirements in this standard that are different from the requirements in the ETSI standards. Compliance level 1 applies only for testing the IMEI integrity requirements in this standard that are different from the requirements in the ETSI standards.

Note 9 Connection includes connection otherwise than by means of physical contact, for example, a connection by means of radiocommunication or by customer equipment mentioned in category A22. See the definition of connected in section 7 of the Act.

Note 10 Refers to clause 5.1.9 of ACA TS002‑1997.

Note 11 Refers to clause 5.4.1 of ACA TS001‑1997.

Note 12 Refers to clauses 6.3.4.1 and 6.5 of AS/NZS 3260 Amendment 4.

Note 16 Refers to clause 5.1.3 of TS022‑1995.

Note 17 Refers to ACA TS001‑1997.

Note 18 The compliance levels for these items are those mentioned in categories B and C of Part 2 of this Schedule applying to the CE.

Note 19 A standard remains an applicable standard until the expiry date listed for the standard in column 3 of Table 1.1 in Schedule 1. The date listed is an expiry date if it is followed by ‘exp’ or is not followed by anything. The date listed is the date an amendment commenced if it is followed by ‘amdt’.

Note 20 This note is reserved.

Note 22 An item that meets the applicable standards mentioned in category A51 is not required to meet the applicable standards mentioned in categories A1 and A2.

Note 23 If an item is mentioned in category A23, A24, A39 or A55, section 4.9 does not apply to that item.

Note 24 Certain customer equipment used in the supply of public mobile telecommunications service must meet the requirements mentioned in section 4.9.

Note 25 CE with ports capable of supporting tie‑lines must be tested to the appropriate Part A categories for that type of connection.

Note 26 AS/ACIF S002‑2001 was amended on 15 March 2002 by the Telecommunications Technical Standard (Analogue interworking and non‑interference requirements for Customer Equipment for connection to the Public Switched Telephone Network — AS/ACIF S002) Amendment 2002 (No. 1) to make AS/ACIF S002‑2001 as it existed in December 2001 and thereby incorporated industry’s amendment identified as ‘AS/ACIF S002‑2001 (Amdt No. 1/2002)’ by date reference in the standard. AS/ACIF S002‑2001 (Amdt 1) was made in 2004 to increase the visibility of amendments of standards mentioned in Part 2 of Schedule 1. As a result AS/ACIF S002‑2001 (Amdt 1) has applied as an industry standard since 15 March 2002.

Note 27 Compliance level 1 applies to the maximum sound pressure level requirements of AS/ACIF S042.1‑2006, AS/ACIF S042.1‑2008 or AS/CA S042.1-2011. Compliance level 2 applies to the remainder of AS/ACIF S042.1‑2006, AS/ACIF S042.1‑2008 or AS/CA S042.12011.

Note 28 The applicable clauses are AS/ACIF S004‑2001 5.4.3.5 and 5.4.3.6, AS/ACIF S004‑2004 5.4.3.5 and 5.4.3.7, AS/ACIF S004‑2006 5.4.3.6 and 5.4.3.8, AS/ACIF S004-2008 5.4.3.6 and 5.4.3.8.

Note 29 The radiocommunications performance aspects of equipment in this category must comply with radiocommunications regulatory arrangements.

Note 30 The highest compliance level applies unless noted.

Note 31 The requirements in applicable technical standards for this category of CE are not mandatory until 1/1/2011.
