What is the relationship between Austel and the Australian Communications Authority (ACA)?
Before July 1997, all telecommunications products needed Austel approval, involving an exhaustive and expensive system of testing and approval, which Olex met. Since the disbanding of Austel in 1997 and the establishment of the Australian Communications Authority (ACA), testing has become the responsibility of the manufacturer or supplier. Companies are now issued with an ACA Merchant Number which must appear on all products along with the “A tick” symbol to signify compliance with the ACA requirements. All Olex communication products comply with these regulations and are all marked in this way. In 2005, the Australian Communications and Media Authority took over the ACA. Regulations however have not changed.
