Introduction of energy efficiency gems in Australia

 

outline

 

The energy consumption performance of electronic and electrical products has attracted more and more attention of ordinary consumers. Many countries have formulated corresponding energy efficiency regulations. MEPs is the minimum energy efficiency standard established by the Australian government. The full name of MEPs is minimum energy performance standard. It was renamed gems on October 1, 2012. The full name of gems is greenhouse and energy minimum standards

 

Registration authority

 

After MEPs is changed to gems, the original Australian competent authorities will no longer accept registration and will be registered with the Australian gems regulator.

 

Note: if the customer is a New Zealand customer, you can register in the New Zealand regulator without registration fee. Registered products can also be sold in Australia, but must be imported to New Zealand and then exported to Australia.
