The Australian Communications Authority (ACA) is calling for comment on proposed amendments to the rules governing the registration of customer cablers and the performance of cabling work.
“The proposed changes will tighten the rules in some areas and relax them in others to reflect current industry practice and regulatory experience,” ACA Acting Chairman Dr Bob Horton said.
The proposed amendments to the Telecommunications Cabling Provider Rules 2000 include tightening the certification requirements and responsibilities for registered cablers supervising unregistered cablers and exempting certain types of minor cabling work from the obligation to be certified.
The review of the cabling provider rules could lead to greater self-regulation.
The cabling provider rules were introduced as part of the ACA’s promotion of greater self-regulation in the cabling industry and were jointly developed by the industry and the ACA.
