The Australian Communication and Media Authority (ACMA), has opened a public consultation proposing to amend the Telecommunications (Labelling Notice for Customer Equipment and Customer Cabling) Instrument 2015 (the Telecommunications Labelling Notice) to enable the use of a QR code, or similar thing, as a form of label.
The labeling requirements in the Telecommunications Labeling Notice require suppliers to label their equipment with RCM and do not have the option to label equipment with a QR code. This means that there is an inconsistency between the radiocommunication and telecommunications labeling requirements, So the new amendment aim that the Telecommunications Labelling Notice to include QR codes to align the labelling requirements with those under the Radiocommunications Act. This will provide consistency and flexibility for suppliers in the Australian market
The public consultation is open until August 19, 2022. You can access the official announcement here
