It is my understanding that AS/NZS3260 is called out for Australia by TS001 and is presently the only pointer to AS/NZS3260. Without a requirement for TS001, AS/NZS3260 seems to not apply. We, however, regularly complete AS/NZS3260 Test Reports for ITE without telephony interfaces. Interesting, though, http://www.sma.gov.au/sydney2000/safety/power.htm , at about the middle of the page, implies otherwise, though I'm not aware that this is in Australian legislation as an independent requirement. > 2.

Does the manufacturer make the declaration of compliance > and applies the mark or does the importer do it? I assume the manufacturer > applies the mark and the importer makes up the declaration. The supplier, which is whomever is selling product in-country, makes the declaration. They'll need a supplier number. Visit http://www.sma.gov.au/ for details. > 6.
