Illustration for Telecommunications (Interception Capability and Security) Act 2013

You have an interception capability that meets a certain standard. This standard is part of a rule mentioned in section 42(3). If this standard changes, you do not have to update your interception capability. You just need to keep meeting the old standard. This means you do not have to make any changes to your interception capability. You can keep using it as it is. You are allowed to do this as long as your interception capability still meets the old standard. This is okay even if the standard has been updated or replaced. You do not have to follow the new standard, just the old one.
