Additional regulatory information

AS/CA S042.1:2022 is intended to be mandated by a replacement for the ACMA Telecommunications (Mobile Equipment Air Interface) Technical Standard 2018 (the 2018 ACMA Standard). Until a replacement for the 2018 ACMA Standard is published, AS/CA S042.1:2020 as mandated by the 2018 ACMA Standard, remains in force.

In the instance that the 2022 version of AS/CA S042.1 is mandated by the ACMA, the transition period for AS/CA S042.1:2020 will be 12 months commencing on the day the 2018 ACMA Standard is replaced.

The mandatory status of AS/CA S042.1:2022 can be found on the ACMA website at the Telecommunications standards page. 

AS/CA S042.1:2020 supersedes AS/CA S042.1:2018. The superseded Standard is available at www.commsalliance.com.au/Documents/Available-Superseded.
