1.8Compliance with replacement standard before expiry of old standard

(1)This section applies in relation to an item mentioned in a category in Part 2 of Schedule 1 if:

(a)a technical standard (the old standard) mentioned in column 3 of that category has an expiry date listed for that standard in column 5; and

(b)another technical standard (the replacement standard) mentioned in column 3 of that category is a replacement standard for the old standard; and

(c)at the time when the item was first manufactured or imported, both the old standard and the replacement standard would, apart from this section, have been applicable standards for the item.

Note 1   Under subsection 1 (3) of Part 1 of Schedule 1, if an expiry date for an old standard has passed, a reference to that standard in Part 2 is to be ignored so that the old standard is no longer applicable for the item.

Note 2   To find out if a technical standard has been replaced by a replacement standard, consult the table of technical standards in Part 1 of Schedule 1.

(2)The supplier of the item must ensure that the item complies with either the old standard or the replacement standard.

(3)If the item complies with the old standard, the supplier may, at any time while the replacement standard is in force, have the item tested against the replacement standard for compliance with that standard.

(4)If the supplier has the item tested against the replacement standard under subsection (3), the supplier must complete a new declaration of conformity showing that the item complies with the replacement standard.

(5)Whichever standard the item complies with is taken to be the applicable standard for the item when it was first manufactured or imported, and the other standard is taken not to be the applicable standard for the item at that time.

[6]          After subsection 2A.4 (4)

insert

(5)A supplier must ensure that an entry for an item on a register for subsection (1) remains on the register for at least 5 years after the item ceases to be supplied in Australia.

[7]          Sections 4.3 to 4.6

4.3Meeting compliance levels

(1)Before an item of a kind mentioned in a category in Part 2 of Schedule 1 is connected to a network or facility, or is supplied, the supplier must:

(a)prepare a description of the item; and

(b)complete and sign a declaration of conformity in relation to the item; and

(c)for each applicable standard for the item — meet the requirements for the compliance level for the applicable standard.

Note 1   These records are to be kept, and made available, in accordance with Part 5.

Note 2   If the item is a modified item, Division 4.3 also applies.

Note 3   The ACA recommends that the requirements of this section be met before a compliance label is applied to the item.

Note 4   See Part 6 for special requirements when there is a change in the applicable standards for an item or in the compliance levels for the standards.

(2)In this section:

requirements, for the compliance level for an applicable standard mentioned in column 3 of a category, means the requirements:

(a)set out in sections 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6; and

(b)explained in the instruction notes for the applicable standard referred to in column 6 of that category.

4.4Compliance level 1

There are no requirements if the compliance level for an applicable standard is compliance level 1.

4.5Compliance level 2

(1)If the compliance level for an applicable standard is compliance level 2, the supplier must have enough of the information mentioned in subsection (2) to show that the item meets the requirements of the applicable standard.

Note   If the information in the compliance record is adequate to demonstrate that the item meets the requirements of an applicable standard, the information may be a single document from the list in subsection (2) or a combination of documents.

(2)The information is:

(a)a test report about one or more requirements of the applicable standard; and

(b)a written statement by a certification body about one or more requirements of the applicable standard; and

(c)if it is impracticable to test the item because of its size, location or nature — a written statement by a competent body certifying that reasonable efforts have been made to avoid a contravention of the applicable standard; and

(d)an approval mentioned in Part 1 of Schedule 7, supported by:

(i)a test report stating that the item meets any requirements in the applicable standard that differ from the requirements in the standard, or the part of the standard, under which the approval was given; or

(ii)a written statement by a certification body to the same effect; or

(iii)if it is impracticable to test the item because of its size, location or nature — a written statement by a competent body to the same effect; and

(e)a Test Report mentioned in Part 1 of Schedule 7, supported by:

(i)another test report stating that the item meets any requirements in the applicable standard that differ from the requirements in the standard under which the Test Report was given; or
