TCA1 Attach A
Help for electricians and registered cablers completing the ACMA TCA1 telecommunications cabling advice form.
The TCA1 Attach A is ACMA paperwork for telecommunications customer cabling advice. Registered cablers use it to certify that completed work complies with the Wiring Rules (AS/CA S009:2020).
Before you start
- Have your ACMA registration number and expiry date handy.
- Know the work description and where the job was done (room, floor, building, and so on).
- You will need customer contact details for the handover copy.
