Information on accessibility features for telephone equipment

In October 2003, the Australian Communications Authority (now called the Australian Communications and Media Authority) formally requested that Australian Communications Industry Forum (ACIF) develop both an industry code and an industry guideline to improve telecommunications access for people with particular communications needs. The Industry Code "ACIF C625:2005 Information On Accessibility Features For Telephone Equipment" along with the associated Industry Guideline "ACIF G 627:2005 Operational Matrices For Reporting On Accessibility Features For Telephone Equipment" now requires telecommunications equipment importers and manufacturers to provide product information on the functional characteristics of the equipment that will be beneficial to people with disabilities. This paper will outline the processes used in the creation of this Code and Guideline and clearly describe the information to be provided and how it can be accessed.
