This Standard applies to the installation and maintenance of fixed or concealed cabling or equipment that is connected, or is intended to be connected, to a telecommunications network, including any cord or cordage, or that part of any cord or cordage, that is connected as fixed or concealed cabling. It does not apply to any electrical power cabling whose primary function is the distribution of AC mains supply, and which is connected to an AC mains supply, but which may also carry telecommunications signals as a secondary function as long as the telecommunications signals originate from the power network or are injected into the power cabling via a compliant interface device.
This edition of the Standard deals with cabling work that was previously exempt from ACMA technical regulation or that was not specifically addressed by previous editions. Refer to Appendix G of the Standard for a description of the changes made to accommodate such cabling and an explanation of how such cabling is captured by the telecommunications legislation.
The Companion to AS/ACIF S009:2006 Installation requirements for customer cabling (Wiring Rules) Industry Guideline provides the differences between the AS/ACIF S009:2001 and AS/ACIF S009:2006 editions to assist training providers, cabling providers and any authors of documents that reference AS/ACIF S009, in identifying the changes that have been made to the Wiring Rules.
Regulatory Notice
Attention is drawn to the fact that cabling work must be performed or supervised by a person with the appropriate cabling provider registration. This requirement is determined by legislation and subordinate regulatory instruments administered by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA). This Standard comes into force as at 1 July 2006. Until that date AS/ACIF S009:2001 remains in force. ACMA is a Commonwealth Authority with statutory powers to impose requirements on cabling providers concerning customer cabling. Details on cabling regulations can be obtained from the ACMA website at www.acma.gov.au.
