AS/ACIF S035:2008 Requirements for installation of temporary field telecommunications customer cabling for defence purposes 

S035_2008 (.pdf, 238 KB)

This Standard applies to the installation of temporary field cabling by Department of Defence personnel and overseas defence forces for defence purposes during exercise, training or operational deployment by the Department of Defence (DoD), or overseas defence forces exercising with Australian DoD personnel. It should be read in conjunction with other referenced Standards.

 This Standard sets out the minimum requirements to ensure that—

  1. the installation or use of the cabling does not expose Carrier personnel, cabling providers, end-users or other persons to any danger; and
  2. the installation or use of the cabling does not adversely affect the integrity (proper end-to-end functioning) of a Telecommunications Network  

Regulatory Notice

Attention is drawn to the fact that the installation and repair of customer cabling is subject to the Telecommunications Cabling Provider Rules, which require customer cabling work to be performed or supervised by a person with the appropriate cabling provider registration and to be installed in accordance with AS/ACIF S009 (Wiring Rules). This requirement is determined by legislation and subordinate regulatory instruments administered by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA).

The Types of Cabling Work Declaration 1997, which calls up this Standard, exempts Department of Defence (DoD) personnel and overseas defence forces from the requirements to have a cabling provider registration or to comply with AS/ACIF S009, provided the requirements of this technical standard have been met. This Standard applies only to installation of temporary field telecommunications customer cabling for DoD purposes during exercise, training or operational deployment in any environment. 

ACMA is a Commonwealth Authority with statutory powers to impose requirements on cabling providers concerning customer cabling.

Details on cabling regulations can be obtained from the ACMA website at http://www.acma.gov.
