19 Other GEMS requirements
Product efficiency level
For the purposes of subsection 24(2) and paragraph 27(1)(a) of the Act, a specified requirement relating to the efficiency level of products covered by this instrument is that the declared energy consumption rate must always be greater than or equal to the tested energy consumption rate.
Product performance—capacity
For the purposes of subsection 24(2) and paragraph 27(1)(b) of the Act, a specified requirement relating to the performance of products covered by this instrument is that the declared capacity must always be less than or equal to the tested capacity.
Product performance—potable water use rate
For the purposes of subsection 24(2) and paragraph 27(1)(b) of the Act, if the potable water use rate for a product covered by this instrument is declared at the time of registration, a specified requirement relating to the performance of the product is that the declared potable water use rate must be greater than or equal to the tested potable water user rate.
Product performance—condenser water use rate
For the purposes of subsection 24(2) and paragraph 27(1)(b) of the Act, if the condenser water use rate for a product covered by this instrument is declared at the time of registration, a specified requirement relating to the performance of the product is that the declared condenser water use rate must be greater than or equal to the tested condenser water use rate.
Schedule 1—Product classes
1 Product classes
For the purposes of section 11 of this instrument, a numbered product class identified in the following table consists of products that are commercial ice-makers and:
(a) are the configuration indicated;
(b) are of the class indicated;
(c) are of the cooling modes indicated;
(d) are of the production modes indicated; and
(e) are not excluded by section 9 of this instrument.
Note: The product class is needed in order to identify relevant values set out in the table to Schedule 2 when assessing compliance with the GEMS level requirements set out in Part 3 of this instrument.
In the following table, in relation to the configuration of an ice-maker:
modular means a model of commercial ice-maker that has no means of ice storage.
self-contained means a model of commercial ice-maker in which the ice-making mechanism, storage compartment and condensing unit are integrated within a cabinet.
split system (remote condensing, but not remote compressor) means a model of commercial ice-makers in which the ice-making mechanism and compressor are housed together and the condensing unit is housed in a separate section.
split system (remote condensing and remote compressor) means a model of commercial ice-makers in which the ice-making mechanism and condenser or condensing unit are housed in separate sections.
