12 Simplified outline of this Part

The rules may provide mandatory security standards for products that can directly or indirectly connect to the internet (called relevant connectable products) that will be acquired in Australia in specified circumstances.

If the rules provide a security standard for a product:

(a)

manufacturers must manufacture the product in compliance with the requirements of the security standard if they are aware, or could reasonably be expected to be aware, that the product will be acquired in Australia in the specified circumstances; and

(b)

those manufacturers must also comply with any other obligations relating to the product in the security standard (for example, obligations to publish information about the product); and

(c)

if the product does not comply it must not be supplied in Australia if the supplier is aware, or could reasonably be expected to be aware, that the products will be acquired in Australia in those specified circumstances; and

(d)

those suppliers must supply the product in Australia accompanied by a statement of compliance.

A compliance notice, a stop notice and a recall notice may be given for non‑compliance with obligations in this Part. Internal review may be sought for a decision to issue a notice.

An independent audit of a product may be undertaken to determine compliance with the requirements of a security standard or requirements for the statement of compliance. The Secretary may request the manufacturer or supplier to provide the product, the statement of compliance or both for the purposes of the audit.
