Schedule 1 Competency Requirements
(section 7)
Part 1 Introduction
For the purpose of paragraph 3.1 (2) (a) of the Telecommunications Cabling Provider Rules 2000 (the Cabling Provider Rules) the competency requirements in this document have been published by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (the ACMA). This document details the competency requirements that cabling providers need to satisfy in order to be registered to perform open, restricted and lift cabling work. A cabling provider may only perform or supervise the performance of a particular type of cabling work if they have obtained the necessary competencies for that type of cabling work.
These requirements are the basis on which the Australian National Training Authority (ANTA) via their Industry Training Advisory Bodies (ITABs), originally developed competency standards and related training for cabling, within the Australian Qualifications Framework and Australian Recognition Framework. The industry document, Pathways to ACMA Cabling Provider Rules Cabler Registration (‘the Pathways’) outlines the training modules which are based on the competency requirements in this document. The Pathways, as in force from time to time, are published on the ACMA website www.acma.gov.au.
The responsibility for any future development of the Pathways is the responsibility of the National Skills Standards Council (the NSSC) via their Industry Skills Council (the ISC).
1.1 Competency requirements
The competency requirements are based on the requirements in:
(a) the Australian Standard AS/CA S008:2010 Requirements for customer cabling products, as in force from time to time (“AS/CA S008”); and
(b) the Wiring Rules;
within the context of the:
(i) installation and modification of cable support, earthing and termination infrastructures;
(ii) installation, maintenance and modification of communications cables and earth wires;
(iii) termination and testing of communications cables and earth wires;
(iv) creation of specific records and completion of mandatory completion forms; and
(v) monitoring of work activities and direct supervision of cabling providers not holding appropriate registration.
Note The Wiring Rules are defined in the Cabling Provider Rules as follows:
Wiring Rules means:
(a) the “Australian Standard AS/ACIF S009:2006 - Installation Requirements for Customer Cabling (Wiring Rules)”;or
(b) a standard published in substitution for the standard mentioned in paragraph (a);
as in force from time to time
1.2 Cabling Provider Registration
The ISC develops competency standards based on the requirements in this document. These standards then provide the basis for mandatory cabling provider registration under the Cabling Provider Rules. Other national ISCs may either adopt these endorsed standards within their own training packages or formally demonstrate equivalence by mapping their existing standards to the competency requirements.
When equivalent standards and/or qualifications are determined, a “List of Equivalence Requirements” shall be certified by the relevant ISCs after mapping, then provided to the ACMA for distribution to all accredited cabling provider registrars under the Cabling Provider Rules. Registrars will then use the list to determine whether the cabling provider meets the necessary competency requirements for registration.
Future equivalence determinations will be made by appropriate ISCs and forwarded to the ACMA for agreement and distribution to all accredited cabling provider registrars.
Part 2 Restricted Cabling Requirements
2.1 Description
Restricted cabling work is cabling work that is performed only in relation to a customer’s premises, and in which the customer cabling terminates at the network boundary on a socket or network termination device. Restricted cabling work includes aerial, underground, coaxial and broadband cabling work on private property.
Typically the restricted type of customer cabling is confined to domestic premises but it may be applicable to certain small business and commercial environments.
2.2 Range of application
The range of application listed below lists the conditions associated with the performance of restricted cabling work and specifies the basic knowledge and minimum expected competence for obtaining a registration to perform restricted cabling work.
A cabling provider who wishes to perform restricted cabling work of a particular type must obtain the relevant competencies for that type of restricted cabling work. For example, a cabling provider who wishes to perform broadband restricted cabling work must obtain the competencies relevant to broadband restricted cabling work by completing the relevant training units.
Cabling environment:
· Indoor environments including concealed locations such as ceilings, false ceilings, internal wall space, under floor and damp situations;
· Outdoor environments including cable installations on external walls, underground and aerial cabling on private and public property;
