antenna located on the roof‑top, where access is not restricted by the site manager or operator.

       (4)  In subsection (2), each of the following terms has the same meaning as in the ARPANSA standard:
          (a) incident electric field strength;
          (b) incident magnetic field strength;
          (c) incident power density.

9 Level 1 criteria
       (1)   This section applies to a transmitter (other than a mobile station):
         (a)   for which:
              (i)            the average total power supplied by the transmitter to all antennas fed by the transmitter is not more than 100 W; and
              (ii)            each antenna fed by the transmitter is installed so that it is inaccessible to a member of the general public; or
         (b)   for which:
              (i)            the bottom of the lowest antenna fed by the transmitter is at least 10 m above ground level; and
              (ii)            the average total equivalent isotropically radiated power of all antennas fed by the transmitter is not more than 3200 W in any direction; or
         (c)   that is a point-to-point link operating at more than 1 GHz.
                  Example: For subparagraph (a)(ii), the following are examples of a type of place that is inaccessible to a member of the general public:
                      * the area around an antenna that is fenced and where entry is through a locked gate;
                      * the area around a tower where the tower cannot be climbed except by the use of an external aid.
       (2)   This section applies to a mobile station for which the average total power supplied by the station to all antennas fed by the station is not more than 100 W.
       (3)   The licensee must give information to the ACMA, within 20 days after the date of a request by the ACMA, showing that the licensee is complying with section 8 in relation to the transmitter.
       (4)   If the licensee is unable to comply with a request under subsection (3) within the 20 days the licensee must:
         (a)   advise the ACMA in writing; and
         (b)   include evidence that the licensee is unable to comply; and
         (c)   propose a date by which the licensee will be able to comply.
       (5)   Any advice provided under subsection (4) must be received by the ACMA within 20 days of the original request for information.
       (6)   The ACMA must have regard to any written advice provided under subsection (4) before instituting regulatory action against the licensee for contravening subsection (3).
       (7)   If the ACMA elects not to take regulatory action mentioned in subsection (6) against the licensee, the ACMA must advise the licensee of this as soon as practicable.
       Note Regulatory action by the ACMA against a licensee to suspend or cancel an apparatus licence under section 126 or 128 of the Act
