Accessibility Information Forum

This forum is bringing together key stakeholders to take part in the scoping of a new project that Communications Alliance is commencing to revise the Information on Accessibility Features for Telephone Equipment Industry Code (ACIF C625:2005) and the Operational Matrices for Reporting on Accessibility Features for Telephone Equipment Industry Guideline (ACIF G627:2005).

Program

• Introduction
• Revision of the Accessibility Information Code and Guideline
• Compliance and awareness
• Project next steps

Background

The Accessibility Information Code specifies obligations on suppliers of telephony equipment to provide product information on the functional characteristics of their equipment used with a Standard Telephone Service (STS) that would be beneficial to people with a disability and older people. The aim is to ensure that the information provided by suppliers is clear and comprehensible to assist both service providers and consumers in identifying equipment features that will meet an individual’s communications needs.

The Operational Matrices Guideline provides templates for equipment suppliers to use in providing fixed line and mobile handsets product information in accordance with the provisions of the Code.
