data outlet. The AV Integrator shall provide necessary patch cables which meet the applicable RMIT IT cabling
standard (See Section 10.4 of RMIT Design Standards – Section 10 Communications)

. When defining system
design all documentation will clearly show TCP/IP Network requirements in order to ensure network points and
addressing are provisioned as part of the project.
3.7.5 Commissioning AV/IT Integration
When commissioning AV systems the AV Integrator may provide a temporary IT data switch for testing
purposes only. This switch MUST NOT be connected to an RMIT network termination point (switch, wall point,
patch panel etc.), and can only occur prior to practical completion of a new building project. If connection to the
RMIT network is required to complete the commissioning, this will be coordinated with the Project Manager and
an RMTI ITS representative after TCP/IP addresses and network details have been issued and configured on
the relevant devices.
3.8 HANDOVER
Integrated AV works will not be considered complete until the “Handover Approval Form (see appendix I) has
been signed by both the AV Integrator and the Principal. The Handover Approval Form can only be completed
after the Consultants Test Script (CTS) has been submitted and accepted. The CTS is an electronic document
completed by the consultant during system certification, it is supporting document to the standard and is
available on request
Note: Handover will not be granted until all installation defects, identified during the commissioning phase, have
been rectified or a rectification plan has been submitted and accepted by RMIT.
3.9 DEFECTS LIABILITY
The AV Integrator must provide a twelve (12) month defects liability for the scope of works and any variations
to the scope of works. The defects liability period must commence from the date of practical completion.
The AV Integrator shall be responsible for the repair or replacement of any equipment, cabling, terminations or
systems that fail to operate in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications or rectification of defective
works, where faulty equipment or defective cabling or components result in the system being unavailable for its
specified use. If RMIT needs to replace a faulty product to ensure room availability is maintained, the effected
system’s Defect Liability period shall be honoured by the original integrator. RMIT will ensure that a
competently trained person performs the work. All equipment replaced as part of defects liability must have the
full manufacturer’s warranty.

Note: Cabling standards for type and signal characteristics are to be observed. Communications cabling
installation practices (e.g. cabling topologies) can differ from AV requirements.
