The Telecommunications (Labelling Notice for Customer Equipment and Customer Cabling) Instrument 2015 (TLN), along with eight telecommunications standards, are set to be remade to reflect the latest technological advancements.
Technical standards:
- Telecommunications Technical Standard (Analogue Interworking and Non-interference Requirements for Customer Equipment for Connection to the Public Switched Telephone Network – AS/CA S002) 2015
- Telecommunications Technical Standard (Requirements for Customer Access Equipment for connection to a Telecommunications Network – AS/CA S003) 2015
- Telecommunications Technical Standard (Voice performance requirements for Customer Equipment – AS/CA S004) 2015
- Telecommunications Technical Standard (Requirements for customer cabling products – AS/CA S008) 2015
- Telecommunications Technical Standard (Requirements for Customer Equipment with hierarchical digital interfaces – AS/ACIF S016) 2015
- Telecommunications Technical Standard (Requirements for DSL Customer Equipment for connection to the Public Switched Telephone Network – AS/ACIF S041) 2015
- Telecommunications Technical Standard (Requirements for Customer Equipment for connection to a metallic local loop interface of a Telecommunications Network – AS/CA S043) 2015 Disability Standard
- Telecommunications Disability Standard (Requirements for Customer Equipment for use with the Standard Telephone Service – Features for special needs of persons with disabilities – AS/ACIF S040) 2015.
The standards under review include technical requirements for customer equipment, cabling products, and interworking with public networks. This also includes the Telecommunications Disability Standard, which addresses special needs for persons with disabilities.
These updates are part of a broader effort to ensure that the standards remain relevant and aligned with current technologies.
Draft versions of the updated TLN 2025 and the eight standards, along with a consultation paper, are now available on the ACMA website for public review and feedback.
