This Section defines the types of products that are relevant connectable products for the purposes of this legislation.
	Subsections (1) and (2) define "internet-connectable products" as being capable of connecting to the internet using a communication protocol that forms part of the Internet Protocol suite to send or receive data over the internet.
	Subsection (3) defines a "network-connectable product" as a product that is capable of sending and receiving data transmitted using electronic or electromagnetic energy; is not an internet connectable product; and meets the connectability conditions set out in subsections (4) or (5).
	Subsection (4) establishes the first connectability condition. Where a product is capable of connecting directly to an internet-connectable product by means of a communication protocol that forms part of the Internet Protocol suite, it is a "network-connectable product". To meet this condition, these products must be capable of using a communication protocol that forms part of the Internet Protocol suite, but is unable to connect directly to the internet.
	Subsection (5) establishes the second connectability condition. Where a product is capable of connecting directly to two or more products at the same time by a communication protocol that does not form part of the Internet Protocol suite; and is capable of connecting directly to an internet-connectable product by means of a such a communication protocol, it is a "network-connectable product".
	Subsection (6) establishes that a product which consists of wires or cables used merely to connect the relevant product to another product is not to be considered as a product for the purposes of the test established in subsection (5)(a).
	Subsection (8) confirms the involvement of a wire or cable does not stop a connection from occurring "directly" for the purposes of subsections (4) to (7).
