Eligibility gate
The claim is considered only for a configured project with an identified Australian work scope and supporting records.Local work record
The quote can identify architecture, configuration, validation, documentation and accountable delivery activities performed in Australia.Component disclosure
Switches, optics, servers, storage and other components may be sourced globally; component origin is not hidden by a solution-level statement.Buyer checkpoint
Ask for the exact origin wording and evidence boundary before using the claim in procurement or downstream marketing.
Evidence boundary
No image on this page establishes Australian origin.
The hardware shown is a catalogue reference only. Any project-level origin statement depends on the configured order, the Australian work actually performed, component disclosures and retained records—not on product photography or visual branding.
What establishes a project-specific claim
- The approved configuration and bill of materials, including available component-origin information
- Records of the Australian architecture, configuration, validation, documentation or delivery work actually performed
- The exact project wording approved for the quotation, tender response or downstream use
The claim follows the configured project, not the catalogue
A product family page cannot establish an origin claim. The relevant question is what substantial work is included in the particular order, where that work occurs, and which records support the wording. If that evidence is not available, the project should be described by its verified engineering and supply scope instead.
- Identify the quoted hardware, software, optics and service boundaries
- Record the Australian architecture, integration, validation and documentation activities actually included
- Keep globally sourced component information separate from the local engineering scope
- Approve project wording only after commercial and compliance review
Evidence a buyer can request
The evidence pack depends on the order. Useful records may include the approved bill of materials, design assumptions, configuration revision, validation plan, test or exception notes, handover documents, and the named entity responsible for delivery. Availability is confirmed during quotation rather than promised for every order.
- Bill of materials and component-origin notes where available
- Architecture decision record and configuration assumptions
- Validation scope, acceptance criteria and exception log
- Quotation language that states inclusions, exclusions and accountable delivery entity

Origin wording
Questions to settle before repeating an Australian-made claim
Does this wording apply to every xSONiC SKU?
No. A catalogue listing alone does not establish eligibility. The configured project, Australian work scope, component disclosures and evidence need to be reviewed together.
Does the phrase mean every component is Australian?
No. Eligible solutions may use qualified global components. Any project statement should distinguish those components from the Australian work that is actually documented.
What if the evidence is incomplete?
Use narrower, verifiable wording such as supplied from Australia or Australian engineering support, if accurate for the order, and do not make a broader origin claim.
Can a buyer reuse the wording in its own tender or marketing?
Only after checking that the exact wording, evidence and intended use have been approved for that project. xSONiC catalogue copy is not blanket permission for downstream claims.
