Someone suggested I go to the ACA web site to look for the requested information. As a testament to my previous research on the topic, I present the following.
In my own research, I have found the Telecommunications Labelling (Customer Equipment and Customer Cabling) Notice 2001. In this document, in Schedule 1 Technical standards and compliance levels, Part 1 Interpretation, Section 1 , paragraph (3), is a reference to TS001-1997 (Safety Requirements for Customer Equipment) as the applicable standard. TS001-1997, unless amended at some later date than my copy, clearly points to AS3260 and not AS60950. Reference directly to AS3260 is in this document at: Part 2, in the notes to the tables "Items to which applicable standards apply" Part 3, Section 3.8, paragraph (3) (discussing cabling equipment) Further, in the "TELECOMMUNICATIONS ACT 1997 EXPLANATORY STATEMENT TELECOMMUNICATIONS LABELLING (CUSTOMER EQUIPMENT AND CUSTOMER CABLING) NOTICE 2001" at http://www.aca.gov.au/labelling/telecom/ES2001.htm "Paragraphs 3.8(2)(c), (d) and subsection 3.8(3) specify other details that are required to be recorded on the cabling equipment where applicable. These details relate to the equipments international protection rating against Australian Standard AS/NZS 1939 and seek to distinguish the associated cabling equipment from hazardous electrical circuits and from hazardous electrical services as detailed in Australian Standard AS/NZS 3260." Looks like nothing is available from the ACA on the topic of when AS60950 will replace AS3260. So my question stands. Regards, Peter L.
