Communications Alliance - Customer Equipment Standards and Documents
Customer Equipment Standards and Documents
Communications Alliance develops customer equipment Standards and related documents for the Australian telecommunications industry. The latest versions of the publications are listed below, grouped by Customer Equipment (CE) Standards (commencing with AS/CA S002), followed by the related Guidelines (commencing with G548).
Superseded customer equipment Standards (referred to as ‘Available Superseded’ Standards) can be downloaded from www.commsalliance.com.au/documents/available_superseded. Note that Available Superseded Standards may be applicable under the Telecommunications (Labelling Notice for Customer Equipment and Customer Cabling) Instrument 2015 (the TLN) See the regulatory information below.
Note that all references to CDMA in Communications Alliance documents are no longer valid post 28 April 2008.
Our policy for handling complaints regarding the development processes of Standards can be found here.
The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) is a Commonwealth statutory agency responsible for regulation of telecommunications customer equipment and customer cabling. Details of the compliance arrangements (including labelling and record-keeping requirements) can be obtained from the ACMA website.
The ACMA may make technical standards under section 376 of the Telecommunications Act 1997, for specified items of telecommunications customer equipment and customer cabling. ACMA technical standards automatically adopt AS/CA industry standards (such as those listed on this website) as in force from time to time. A complete list of applicable ACMA Standards (which may include both current and revoked Standards) can be found on the ACMA website at the Telecommunications standards page.
The date of effect (commencement date) of the relevant AS/CA industry standard is the publication date of that standard on this website.
When an AS/CA industry standard is amended or replaced, a transition period applies. The transition period is two years, or such lesser period that is specified in the standard. During the transition period, both the old and the amended/replacement standard apply. More information on Changes to standards and transition periods is available on the ACMA website.
In addition, the ACMA makes Cabling Provider Rules (CPRs) under section 421(1) of the Telecommunications Act 1997. The CPRs require a person undertaking customer cabling work to comply with the customer cabling wiring rules (AS/CA S009) developed by Communications Alliance. More information on the ACMA’s customer cabling regulatory arrangements is available on the ACMA website.

This Guideline is intended to provide guidance to organisations that have staff who use telephone equipment for extended periods of time, manufacturers, call centres, audio consultants and testing laboratories, in order to reduce the risk and severity of acoustic shock.
This Guideline was developed with the following aims:
To provide guidance in the development of equipment, workplaces and processes to reduce the risk and severity of acoustic shock.
To provide additional, optional acoustic safety specifications that organisations can call up if they wish to increase the protection against acoustic shock beyond that specified in the two Standards AS/CA S004 (for landline phones) and AS/CA S042.1 (for mobile phones).
