NS245: Telecommunications Approved List of Materials
The purpose of this document is to define the approved materials for Ausgrid’s telecommunications network. Its intended audience is all staff who are directly or indirectly involved in any or all life cycle stages of Ausgrid’s telecommunications network, including from conceptual planning, through all stages to decommissioning and disposal and including persons involved with the procurement and storage of spare parts.
Scope
This Network Standard lists the approved materials which are specific to the Ausgrid telecommunications network. Materials specific to other applications including but not limited to power infrastructure and building construction fall outside the scope of this standard. This standard does not define processes including but not limited to how to install, replace, repair, commission or decommission. This standard does not define who is approved to install each item.
This standard also specifies which materials are regarded by Ausgrid as ‘Mandatory’, versus those which are ‘Negotiable’. In this standard, all materials that are not denoted as ‘Mandatory’ are regarded as ‘Negotiable’. Refer to the Definitions section of this document for further clarification of ‘Mandatory’ and ‘Negotiable’ (Section 4).
Procurement of items referred in NS243 under the “Monopoly Works” section will be performed by Ausgrid and supplied to the installer.
