20130408 Safety Information
In order to improve the electrical and electronic equipment and various industry (residential,
commercial and industrial) the product energy utilization efficiency, enhance the significant
economic and environmental effectiveness, Australia and New Zealand issued minimum standards
for greenhouse and energy regulations (Greenhouse and Energy Minimum Standards Bill 2012
(GEMS) ), and with effect from October 1, 2012. New the GEMS regulations not only covers the main
policy: mandatory minimum energy performance standards (MEPS), energy the efficiency labeling
(referred to ERLS) and Equipment Energy Efficiency Program (E3), and expansion of energy
efficiency to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance the energy efficiency of the areas to
guide businesses and consumers throughout the product life cycle running the lowest cost point of
view, to make the best choices.
Since October 2012, Australia and New Zealand will gradually with energy efficiency Certification
GEMS certification, used to replace energy efficiency in Australia MEPS certification. The new Australian
energy efficiency certification of the transition period from October 1, 2012 to 2013 30. MEPS certification
of products, has applied for to allow free transfer during the transition period into GEMS certification.
After the transition period, will no longer be recognized MEPS certification. GEMS certification is a
mandatory certification of products belonging to the control must be the GEMS certification before
they can be sold in the market, and applicants must be Australian locally incorporated companies.
GEMS certified control products:
compact fluorescent lamps / ultra-low voltage converter / double capped fluorescent lamps / ballasts for
fluorescent lamps / incandescent / washing machine / clothes dryer / dishwasher / external power supply
/ TV / digital set-top boxes;electric water heater;air conditioning and heat pump / three-phase motor /
Household refrigerating appliances;Cooling Tower / Precision air conditioning / commercial refrigerator /
showcase / distribution transformers.
GEMS certification can be divided into two steps, the first is to select the products for testing, the test
based on the standards and MEPS certification; second step is to submit the test reports and other in
formation GEMS registered information GEMS certification audit will. New GEMS and regulations with
the new requirements in terms of registration, the applicant can not select a single state register, but
unified to the Australian Regulator conduct registration, according to the product category, the
registration fee is 440 to 870 Australian dollars, the deadline for registration is 5 years.
