At least there’s this:

> The Assistance and Access Act contains an express prohibition against building or implementing any weakness or vulnerability in software or physical devices that would jeopardise the security of innocent users. This is found in section 317ZG of the Act which also makes clear that any assistance that makes a system's encryption or authentication less effective for general users is strictly prohibited. This same section prohibits the construction of new decryption capabilities and rules out any requirements that would prevent a company from patching existing security flaws in their systems.

That legislation also has Technical Assistance Requests (TAR) where company isn't compelled but can choose to comply. As not trying to compel they have few safeguards in being issued and less limitations on what can be requested.
