5.1.2 Access barring
CE should not support access barring of emergency service numbers ‘000′ and“106′.
5.1.3 Loss of mains power
Mains- powered CE should continue to support the dialling of emergency service numbers for at least 30 minutes following the loss
of mains power.

(b) the polarity of any voltage on any specific line conductor.
5.2.2 Line polarity reversal
Normal operation of CE should be independent of, and should remain unaffected by, any reversal (momentary of otherwise) in line
polarity.
5.3 Line connection
CE should terminate on and be supplied with:
(a) an insulation displacement connection system;
(b) a cable complying with AS/CA S008 [2] and which is able to be terminated on an insulation displacement connection system;
(c) a socket on the CE complying with AS/CA S008 [2]; or
(d) a modular 8-way plug on the end of a line cord, where both the plug and cord comply with the requirements of AS/CA S008 [2] and the plug is Plug Type FCC 68 [4] (eight-position).
Note: The following pin assignments should be used where a Plug Type FCC 68 [4] (eight-position) is supplied for connection of CE.
