TCA2 Outstanding Matters
Help for electricians and registered cablers completing the ACMA TCA2 telecommunications cabling advice form.
The TCA2 is ACMA paperwork for alerting customers or building managers to non-compliant pre-existing cabling found during your work when it sits outside the original scope.
Before you start
- Know whether this is pre works or post works advice.
- Only tick issues you actually observed on pre-existing installations.
- For each issue you tick, choose one priority level: urgent safety hazard, attention required (non-urgent), or long term low safety risk.
Advice Type
Select when this advice applies.
Required fields
Choose Pre works advice or Post works advice before export.
When to use TCA2
Use TCA2 to record outstanding cabling matters outside your contracted work, not to certify work you completed (that is TCA1).
- Pre works advice — issues spotted before your cabling work starts.
- Post works advice — issues spotted after or during your work on site.
Outstanding Matters
Tick each row that applies, then choose a priority for that row.
The form mirrors the official table:
- Inadequate separation of communications and electrical cabling
- Inappropriate or inadequate support provided to cables
- Cables not secured or fixed
- Non-compliant cabling product used
- Non-compliant customer equipment installed
- Non-compliant earthing
- Wrong colour conduit used
- Records are missing or out of date
- Pre-existing cables are worn or frayed
- Pre-existing cabling is not compliant (other)
For each selected row, pick one priority:
- Urgent safety hazard
- Attention required - non-urgent
- Long term - low safety risk
After export
Hand the completed PDF to the customer or building manager as required. Keep a copy for your records. Pair with TCA1 when you also need to certify completed cabling work.
