7 Families of models

(1) For the purposes of section 28 of the Act, for a particular product class covered by this instrument, 2 or more models are in the same family of models if:

(a) they are members of a family that has been declared to the GEMS Regulator; and

(b) the requirements of this section are satisfied in relation to the models and the family.

(2) For the purposes of paragraph (1)(b):

(a) the models must be in the same product class; and

(b) subject to subsection (3)—evidence of a test report documenting the results of the testing required in accordance with section 22 must have been provided for at least one model in the family at the time an application was made for registration for the models under section 41 of the Act; and

(c) the models must be either all non-mains LED lamps (NMLL) or all mains LED lamps (MLL); and

(d) the models must all have a rated CRI of one of the following:

(i) no less than 70 but less than 80;
(ii) no less than 80 but less than 90;
(iii) no less than 90; and

(e) for single-capped lamps—the models must all have a rated L70B50 lifetime of one of the following:

(i) no greater than 15,000 hours;
(ii) greater than 15,000 hours but no greater than 30,000 hours;
(iii) greater than 30,000 hours; and

(f) for double-capped G13 and G5 LED lamps—the models must all have a rated L70B50 lifetime of one of the following:

(i) no greater than 30,000 hours;
(ii) greater than 30,000 hours but no greater than 60,000 hours;
(iii) greater than 60,000 hours; and

(g) for double-capped G13 and G5 LED lamps—the models must have the same cap size; and

(h) the models must have the same reference control settings (if applicable); and

(i) in relation to the following design features:

(i) for dimmability—the models must be either all dimmable or all non-dimmable;
(ii) for light direction—the models must be either all directional or all non-directional;
(iii) for utilisation of LED filaments—the models must either all be designed with LED filaments or without LED filaments;
(iv) for CRI—models with CRI less than 80 must meet the requirements under item 1 of the table in section 19.

Note: Test reports and other evidence of performance of models can be provided at the time of registration on a voluntary basis.

(3) For the purposes of paragraph (2)(b):

(a) the model used for UV hazard testing (where required) must be the model with the highest UV radiant power in the relevant family; and

(b) the model used for Blue Light hazard testing (where required) must be the model with the highest CCT in the relevant family; and
