TCA2 Outstanding Matters

Help for electricians and registered cablers completing the ACMA TCA2 telecommunications cabling advice form.

ACMA TCA2 PDF preview
NationalTelecommunications

ACMA

Record pre-existing cabling issues, priority levels, and customer advice in an download-ready ACMA TCA2 PDF.

Open this form

The TCA2 is ACMA advice for non-compliant cabling you notice outside the work you were engaged to do. Use it to show the issue and how urgently the customer or building manager should address it.

Open the TCA2 form when you have identified the outstanding matters.

TCA2 reports outstanding matters. It does not certify the cabling work you completed. Use a TCA1 or another compliant certification statement for that.

Before you start

  • Know whether this is pre works or post works advice.
  • Only tick issues you actually noticed in the pre-existing installation.
  • For each issue you tick, choose one priority level: urgent safety hazard, attention required (non-urgent), or long term low safety risk.
  • Have enough site notes to identify the affected cabling when you explain the advice to the customer.

Advice Type

Select when this advice applies. Use the timing that matches when you noticed the outstanding matter.

Required fields

Choose Pre works advice or Post works advice before download.

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. Leave rows blank when they do not apply to this site.

The form mirrors the official table:

  1. Inadequate separation of communications and electrical cabling
  2. Inappropriate or inadequate support provided to cables
  3. Cables not secured or fixed
  4. Non-compliant cabling product used
  5. Non-compliant customer equipment installed
  6. Non-compliant earthing
  7. Wrong colour conduit used
  8. Records are missing or out of date
  9. Pre-existing cables are worn or frayed
  10. 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

The official TCA2 is a one-page checklist. It has no free-text field for location or explanation. Keep separate job notes or photos when they are needed to show exactly what you found.

Before download

  • Check whether the advice is pre works or post works.
  • Tick only the matters you noticed.
  • Choose exactly one priority for every matter you tick.
  • Make sure you can explain where each matter is and what the customer should do next.
  • Review the one-page PDF before handing it over.

After download

Give the completed PDF to the customer or building manager. ACMA says you are not required to keep a TCA2 copy, though your business or job process may still require one.

Complete a TCA1 or another compliant certification statement when you also performed or supervised completed cabling work.

For examples of when to use each row, read ACMA TCA2 outstanding matters.
