There are three types of mandatory registration:

Open

Any type of cabling work (including aerial or underground cabling work on private or public property) which terminates directly on a socket, a network termination device or a distributor.

Restricted

Restricted cabling work covers cabling work defined wholly in Scenario A or Scenario B:

Scenario A (Typical domestic and small business premises):

  • Termination is directly on a socket or network termination device.
  • Where the electrical supply voltage does not exceed typical domestic single-phase and three-phase electrical supply voltages.
  • Aerial and underground cabling work must be on private property.
  • Aerial cabling must not use electricity distribution poles.

Scenario B* (Work behind a compliant device in multi-storey or campus-style premises):

  • Cabling work behind a compliant device (eg. alarm panel, modem, or customer switching system) where the compliant device is labelled in accordance with the Labelling Notice.

Restricted work DOES NOT include:

  • the cabling work between the compliant device and a distributor or a patch panel; or
  • situations where the reticulated electrical power in the building is at a voltage which exceeds 240 V a.c for single-phase and 415 V a.c for three-phase; or
  • cabling work that requires sharing cable sheaths with other services.

Examples of cabling work for Scenario B only include:

  • Cabling work connected behind an alarm panel or modem;
  • Cabling work connected directly behind a Customer Switching System (but not via a "jumperable" distributor or frame); and
  • Cabling work for additional phone points (other than the first point) in a commercial, high-rise or multi-storey building, if the service involved is a standard telephone service.

Lift

Cabling in relation to lift installations.
