Certification Introduction:
In order to improve the energy efficiency of electrical equipment
and products in various industries and enhance significant economic
and environmental benefits, Australia and New Zealand issued the
Greenhouse and Energy Low Standard Technical Regulations (GEMS) and
came into effect on October 1, 2012. The new The GEMS regulations
replace the previous MEPS certification (Minimum Performance
Standards).
In terms of MEPS registration according to GEMS regulations,
compared with the past, applicants are no longer able to choose any
state to register on the Australian official website. Instead, they
are required to register with the Australian Regulator. At the same
time, within all Australian states and jurisdictions, For all
product types, GEMS regulations no longer set a single registration
fee. Product types will be divided into four categories.
Registration fees range from AUD 440 to AUD 780, and the
registration period is 5 years.
Products currently controlled by GEMS certification include:
Compact fluorescent lamps, extra low voltage converters,
double-ended fluorescent lamps, fluorescent lamp ballasts,
incandescent lamps, washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, external
power supplies, televisions, digital set-top boxes, electric water
heaters, air conditioners and heat pumps, three-phase motors ,
household refrigeration appliances, refrigeration towers/precision
air conditioners, commercial refrigerators, display cabinets,
distribution transformers, etc.
Application process
1. Select products for testing. The standards for testing are
consistent with the original MEPS certification. Generally
speaking, any test report provided by an ISO 17025 accredited
laboratory can be recognized;
2. Submit test reports and other materials for GEMS registration.
After passing the review of the materials, you will receive a GEMS
certification certificate. The new GEMS regulations mainly have new
requirements in terms of registration. Applicants cannot select a
single state for registration, but must go to the Australian
Regulator for registration, and the registration period is 5 years
depending on the product category.
