5  Simplified outline of this Part

      The rules may provide mandatory security standards for products that can directly or indirectly connect to the internet (called relevant connectable products) that will be acquired in Australia in specified circumstances.
      Part 1 of Schedule 1 provides a security standard for consumer grade relevant connectable products (with some exceptions: see section 8) that will be acquired in Australia by a consumer.
      If the rules provide a security standard for a product, sections 15 and 16 of the Act require that:
             (a) manufacturers must manufacture such products in compliance with the requirements of the security standard if they are aware, or could reasonably be expected to be aware, that the product will be acquired in Australia in the specified circumstances; and
             (b) those manufacturers must also comply with any other obligations relating to the product in the security standard (for example, obligations to publish information about the product); and
             (c) if the product does not comply it must not be supplied in Australia if the supplier is aware, or could reasonably be expected to be aware, that the products will be acquired in Australia in the specified circumstances; and
             (d) those suppliers must supply the product in Australia accompanied by a statement of compliance that meets the requirements in the rules (see Division 3 of this Part).
