Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What it does: This short legal instrument formally appoints the National Association of Testing Authorities, Australia (NATA) as the official accreditation body for radiocommunications testing laboratories.

Who it affects:

Testing laboratories that check whether radio equipment (like phones, radios, and broadcasting equipment) meets technical standards
Manufacturers and importers of radiocommunications devices who need accredited test results
NATA, which gains formal status to accredit these testers under the Radiocommunications Act 1992

Why it matters: Under Australian law, only accredited testing authorities can certify that radio equipment complies with technical standards. This determination ensures a qualified, independent body (NATA) is authorised to grant that accreditation. It also revokes the previous 1998 appointment, updating the framework.

How it starts: The determination takes effect once it is both registered on the Federal Register and published in the Gazette.
