On June 17th, 2022, Acma announced the public consultation where they are proposing to amend the Telecommunications (Labelling Notice for Customer Equipment and Customer Cabling) Instrument 2015 (the Telecommunications Labelling Notice) to enable the use of a QR code, or similar thing, as a form of a label.
This will provide consistency and flexibility for suppliers in the Australian market and enable suppliers to comply with the requirements through the use of modern technology. They have also identified 3 telecommunications technical standards that relate to outdated technology or withdrawn industry standards, which are also proposed to repeal.
The submission can be done through the ACMA website until August 19th, 2022.
