John,

The PSU would not require independent TS001 testing.  You are correct in
that if equipment has a capability to connect to a public
telecommunications network in Australia that equipment generally requires
TS001 compliance and testing.

An Example
A server or router which has the capability to house several cards (some
may be LAN cards etc and some may be cards which provide connection to a
public network).  The requirements would be:
a)  for the server/router "host" box
-  Compliance with EMC and EMR requirements (see www.aca.gov.au)
-  Must "be safe" as described in Australian Trade Practice laws and
Electrical Regulations of Australia States (provinces) etc
NOTE:  For ITE equipment being "safe" generally equates to compliance with
AS/NZS 3260 (or IEC60950 + Australian deviations);

b)  for cards providing connection to a public network
-  Comply with EMC and EMR requirements (see www.aca.gov.au)
-  Comply with Telecommunications requirements - this would include TS001
in most cases + various other ACA interworking standards  (see
www.aca.gov.au - Telecommunications Labelling Notice, Schedule #1)
NOTE:  TS001 testing would normally be carried out with card in situ in the
server/router box

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Kevin
