99 Digital ID Data Standards
(1) The Digital ID Data Standards Chair may, in writing, make one or more standards (Digital ID Data Standards) about the following: (a) technical integration requirements for entities to participate in the Australian Government Digital ID System; (b) technical or design features that entities must have to participate in the Australian Government Digital ID System; (c) if required to do so by the Accreditation Rules or the Digital ID Rules—technical, data or design standards, including test standards for an entity’s information technology systems and processes, relating to accreditation; (d) other matters prescribed by the Digital ID Rules. (2) Without limiting subsection 33(3A) of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901, Digital ID Data Standards may provide differently for different kinds of entities, things or circumstances. (3) Digital ID Data Standards that are inconsistent with the Accreditation Rules have no effect to the extent of the inconsistency, but Digital ID Data Standards are taken to be consistent with the Accreditation Rules to the extent that Digital ID Data Standards are capable of operating concurrently with the Accreditation Rules. (4) Digital ID Data Standards are legislative instruments, but section 42 (disallowance) of the Legislation Act 2003 does not apply to them.
