Huawei Technologies Co., a Chinese telephone-equipment maker labeled a spying threat by U.S. lawmakers, offered Australian authorities access to its software codes in a plan to create a product evaluation center.

The company would provide “complete and unrestricted access” to its products, said John Lord, chairman of Huawei’s Australian unit, according to the e-mailed text of a speech at the National Press Club in Canberra today. All materials to be used in major Australian telecommunications networks can be tested for possible security breaches at the center, he said.
