See subsection (3) for products that are not covered.\n\n## (2) These products form a single product class for the purposes of the Act.\n\n## (3) For subsection 23 (2) of the Act, this Determination does not cover:\n\n    (a) clothes washing machines that have:\n    (i) a rated load capacity of less than or equal to 2 kilograms for all textile materials;\n    (ii) no connections to a mains water supply; and\n    (iii) no pump or other means for extracting water; and\n    (b) clothes washing machines that are only capable of being used for cold wash operations and have:\n\n#### (i) no provision for internal water heating;\n\n#### (ii) a single water connection marked only for cold water;\n\n#### (iii) automatic fill control;\n\n#### (iv) no program that indicates (directly or indirectly) that a program other than a cold wash program is possible;\n\n#### (v) a user manual that explicitly states it is only suitable for cold washing operations; and\n\n#### (vi) no associated product literature that states it is suitable for anything other than cold washing operations.\n\n## (4) In this section:\n\nautomatic fill control means a mechanism that automatically controls the amount of water delivered into a clothes washing machine for each fill operation undertaken during the program.\n\nrated load capacity means the maximum mass of a textile material (measured in multiples of 0.5 kilograms for each kind of textile material) that the supplier or manufacturer claims can be treated in all operations by the clothes washing machine.\n\nNote 1: This is the same meaning as in subclauses 1.4.11 and 5.2 of AS/NZS 2040.1:2005.\n\nNote 2: The rated load capacity is ordinarily claimed in the clothes washing machines product literature. For example, the operating manual.\n\n# 6 GEMS level requirements\n\nThere are no GEMS level requirements for products covered by this Determination.\n\n# 7 GEMS labelling requirements\n\nLabelling and communication requirements\n\n## (1) Subject to subsection 7 (2) of this Determination, for subsections 24 (1) (b), 26 (1) (a) and 26 (1) (b) of the Act, the labelling requirements are the labelling and communication requirements in sections 2 and 5 and Appendix B of AS/NZS 2040.2:2005 with the following modifications:\n\n    (a) Part 1 of Schedule 1 of this Determination applies instead of clause 1.5.7 and 2.8 of AS/NZS 2040.2:2005.\n    (b) Part 3 of Schedule 1 of this Determination applies instead of the requirements in clause 5.1 of AS/NZS 2040.2:2005.\n\n## (2) For subsection 7 (1) of this Determination, if a star rating of seven or more stars is derived from the star rating index in accordance with Part 1 of Schedule 1 of this Determination, the labelling requirements are either:\n\n    (a) the requirements specified in sections 2, 5 and Appendix B of AS/NZS 2040.2:2005 as if the star rating were deemed to be 6 stars; or\n    (b) the requirements specified in Part 2 of Schedule 1 of this Determination (the Super-Efficiency Label).\n\nNote: Where the derived star rating is one to six stars, the standard Energy Efficiency Label (that is, the labelling requirements specified in sections 2 and 5 and Appendix B of AS/NZS 2040.2:2005) must still be used.\n\nConducting tests\n\n## (3) For paragraphs 24 (1) (b) and 26 (1) (c) of the Act, the specified requirements for conducting tests are the requirements prescribed section 2 of AS/NZS 2040.2:2005, with the following modifications:\n\n    (a) For any test, the standard mixed cotton test load must be:\n\n#### (i) for test loads of 10 kilograms or less – as shown in Table C2 of AS/NZS 2040.1:2005, made up from the components detailed in Table C1 of AS/NZS 2040.1‑2005; or\n\n#### (ii) for test loads greater than 10 kg but not greater than 20 kg – as shown in the Table in Part 1 of Schedule 2 made up from the components detailed in the Table C1 of AS/NZS 2040.1:2005.\n\n    (b) Where a manufacturer claims a rated capacity greater than 20 kg, the product must be rated and tested at 20 kg under this Determination.\n    (c) For paragraph C 3.1 of AS/NZS 2040.1:2005, the total number of swatches required is determined according to Part 2 of Schedule 2 of this Determination.\n\nQuartz cell specification\n\n## (4) For subsection 7 (2) of this Determination, the absorbance requirement for the quartz cell in subclause N 3.2 (g) of Appendix N of AS/NZS 2040.1:2005 is replaced with a transmittance requirement of between 80 per cent and 100 per cent.\n\nPBIS limit in the conditioned load specification\n\n## (5) For subsection 7 (2) of this Determination, the PBIS limit of 0.05 milligrams per litre in subclause M 5.1 of Appendix M of AS/NZS 2040.1:2005 is replaced with a PBIS limit of 0.2 milligrams per litre.\n\n# 8 Other GEMS requirements\n\nThere are no other GEMS requirements for products covered by this Determination.\n\n# 9 Families of models\n\nFor section 28 of the Act, the specified circumstances, in which 2 or more models from a single product class covered by this Determination are in the same family, are the circumstances mentioned in subclause 1.5.4 of AS/NZS 2040.2:2005.\n\n# 10 Product categories\n\nFor subsection 29 (1) of the Act, the products covered by this Determination are category A products.\n\n# 11 Registrations affected by this Determination\n\nFor paragraph 36 (1) (c) of the Act, this Determination does not affect the registration of any model registered against the Greenhouse and Energy Minimum Standards (Clothes Washing Machines) Determination 2012 (F2012L02117).\n\nNote: If a model’s registration is not affected the model is taken to be registered against this Determination.
