ACMA has introduced an optional addition to the current Telecommunications Cabling Advice Form (known as a TCA1 form). The TCA2 form is designed for use by registered cablers to alert the customer or building manager of any non-compliant cable installations that are outside the contracted scope of work. Cablers may choose to issue it with a quotation prior to undertaking work, or after completing a particular cabling job to advise the customer or building manager of other matters that may still require attention.
The TCA2 form is not a replacement for the TCA1 form, and registered cablers will still be required to complete and sign a Telecommunications Cabling Advice (TCA1) form on completion of a cabling job. A copy of the TCA1 must be provided to the customer and your employer (if applicable). You must keep all copies of your TCA1 forms for at least 12 months and these must be made available to ACMA inspectors or auditors on request.
