29  Manner of communication of energy rating labels

 (1) If an energy rating label is communicated under section 28, it must:

 (a) adhere to, be printed on, or be part of; or

 (b) be included in;

  the packaging of each unit of the product.

Example: A single‑split system for which the indoor and outdoor units are in separate packages could have:

 an energy rating label that is printed on the package of the outdoor unit; and

 no energy rating label that adheres to, is printed on, is part of, or is included in, the package of the indoor units.

 (2) If an energy rating label is communicated under section 28, and one or more units or packages of the product, or one or more units of another product that looks like or is otherwise represented as being the product, are displayed at a GEMS retail premises:

 (a) at least one energy rating label must be clearly visible in relation to the display; and

 (b) if all units on display are packaged—an energy rating label must adhere to, be printed on, or be part of, the outside of each package; and

 (c) if one or more units are not packaged:

 (i) for each unpackaged unit—an energy rating label must:

 (A) adhere to, be printed on, or be part of, the unit; or

 (B) be attached, in the form of a double‑sided swing tag or a non‑rotating single‑sided swing tag, to the unit; and

 (ii) for each packaged unit (if any)—the energy rating label may, but need not, adhere to, be printed on, be part of, the unit’s package.

 (3) For subsection (2), if a display relating to the product includes a model of the product, a non‑functioning display unit, or another item that represents a unit of the product, paragraph (2)(c) applies as if it were an unpackaged unit.
