2. A-tick requirements for telecommunications equipment
According to Part 21 of the Australian Telecommunications Act 1997, the Australian Communications Media Authority (ACMA) is responsible for the technical management of consumer devices and consumer connections related to telecommunications. ACMA has introduced a self-management system based on product labeling and compliance with relevant technical standards, which is implemented in accordance with the Telecommunications Labeling Bulletin 2001.
The main purpose of compliance requirements is to ensure that such products comply with the relevant technical standards required by regulatory authorities and are appropriately labeled before being provided or linked to telecommunications networks. The relevant technical standards involve the health and safety of users and operators of integrated telecommunications networks, the interconnection availability of telecommunications networks providing standard telephone services, and the implementation of emergency call services.
