17  Classes of products that are not covered by this Determination

 (1) This Determination does not cover the following:

 (a) close control air conditioners;

 (b) liquid-chilling packages;

 (c) evaporative coolers or any other cooling systems that are not of the vapour compression type;

 (d) ground-water air conditioners or ground-loop air conditioners;

 (e) spot coolers;

 (f) dehumidifiers;

 (g) air conditioners powered by mains electricity specifically designed and sold only for installation in end-use mobile applications, such as caravans, mobile homes, camper vans, boats and rail cars;

 (h) air conditioners powered by mains electricity specifically designed and sold only for installation in specialised high temperature industrial applications, such as crane cabins used over blast furnaces;

 (i) air conditioners that do not condition air sourced from within the conditioned space, but instead condition air sourced from outside the conditioned space, and deliver that air to the conditioned space.

Note 1: Regarding paragraphs (a) and (b), some products excluded from the application of this Determination are subject to the application of other GEMS determinations.

Note 2: Regarding paragraph (c), air conditioners of the vapour compression type that have an enhancement or option to assist the operating energy efficiency (for example, solar-boosted air conditioners) are not excluded from this Determination.

Note 3: Regarding paragraph (d), water-loop air conditioners are included in the application of this Determination.

Note 4: Regarding paragraph (g), units for end-use mobile applications listed at paragraph (g) are air conditioners that have been designed to cater for the expected vibrations, repetitive bumping and shock and other rough use conditions of the intended mobile application, and have design specifications and test evidence of complying with Australian/New Zealand Standard or IEC Standard requirements under such conditions.

Note 5: Regarding paragraph (g), units installed in portable buildings are included in the application of this Determination.

 (2) In this section:

close control air conditioner means an air conditioner designed for high sensible heat ratio applications that is capable of maintaining close control of both temperature and humidity.

dehumidifier means an encased assembly designed to remove moisture from its surrounding atmosphere using either an electrically operated refrigeration system or a desiccant type of material. It also includes a means to circulate air and a drain arrangement for any or all of collecting, storing and disposing of the condensate.
