Convention????
So is your RJ45 wired to T568A or T568B??
In Australia, one should have a data licence to wire RJ45
plugs/sockets. They will be wired according to International and
Australian Standards, which reference the TIA/EIA standard.
RJ45 hardware must be Austel approved, as is all hardware that is
connected (wired or wireless) to the telephone system.
I'm sure we could find the relevant legislation if you like!
As jh pointed out, I have all the information.
We do have the copy of those standards here but it isn't *legislated* and you
do find people who think they can *improve* on the system.
However, it's not Austel any more, it goes through ACA now.
ACA also gone, ACMA now:

Legislation talks about:
A. approved devices
The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) is empowered
via the Telecommunications and Radiocommunications Acts to mandate
technical standards relating to items of customer equipment, customer
cabling and specified devices.
B. approved installers
TELECOMMUNICATIONS ACT 1997 - SECT 420
Prohibition of unauthorised cabling work
(1) A person must not perform a particular type of
cabling work unless:
(a) the person is subject to the cabling
provider rules; or
(b) the person performs the work under the
supervision of another person who is subject to the cabling provider
rules; or
(c) the person is the holder of a cabling
licence that authorises the performance of that type of cabling work;
or
(d) the person performs the work under the
supervision of the holder of a cabling licence that authorises the
performance of that type of cabling work.
(2) A person who contravenes subsection (1) is guilty
of an offence punishable on conviction by a fine not exceeding 120
penalty units.
Approved equipment and cablers are required to conform with standards.

So where is the loophole where one can legally not use a standard????
