7 GEMS labelling requirements

Labelling and communication requirements

(1) For paragraphs 24 (1) (b), 26 (1) (a) and 26 (1) (b) of the Act, the specified labelling and communication requirements are the requirements mentioned in section 4 (Energy Label) of AS/NZS 62087.2.2:2011, but excluding:

(a) the sentence in clause 4.1 of AS/NZS 62087.2.2:2011—“In Australia, until 31 March 2013, and in New Zealand, when Tier 1 MEPS and Labelling requirements are incorporated by reference into legislation in New Zealand—BEC = base energy consumption calculated as 127.75 + 0.1825 × Screen area (cm2)”; and

(b) the words in clause B3 (a) (ii) of Appendix B of AS/NZS 62087.2.2:2011—“for products manufactured or imported before 1 October 2013”.

Note 1: This section specifies the GEMS labelling requirements for Tier 2 MEPS and labelling as set out in AS/NZS 62087.2.2:2011. This requirement replaces the GEMS labelling requirements in the Greenhouse and Energy Minimum Standards (Television) Determination 2012 (F2012L02115) which were for Tier 1 MEPS and labelling in AS/NZS 62087.2.2:2011.

Note 2: The GEMS labelling requirements include the use of the transitional label set out in Figure B6 of Appendix B of AS/NZS 62087.2.2:2011. This label can be used instead of the Tier 2 base label for all products covered by this Determination for the whole time this Determination is in force.

(2) For paragraphs 24 (1) (b) and 26 (1) (c) of the Act, the specified requirements for conducting tests are the requirements mentioned in section 3 of AS/NZS 62087.2.2:2011.

Transitional GEMS labelling requirements

(3) For paragraphs 24 (1) (b), 26 (1) (a) and 26 (1) (b) of the Act, the specified transitional GEMS labelling requirements are:

(a) for the period commencing on the day this Determination came into force to 30 September 2013—the GEMS labelling requirements in section 7 of the Greenhouse and Energy Minimum Standards (Television) Determination 2012 (F2012L02115); and

Note: The Greenhouse and Energy Minimum Standards (Television) Determination 2012 (F2012L02115) is revoked by this Determination. However, the labelling requirements in section 7 of the revoked Determination are used for the purposes of the transitional labelling requirements.

(b) from 1 October 2013—for products specified in Schedule 1 of this Determination, the requirement to either:

(i) display the 6 star label at figure B1 of Appendix B of AS/NZS 62087.2.2:2011 showing an energy rating of a half a star in accordance with clause 4.3 of AS/NZS 62087.2.2:2011; or

(ii) display the transition label at figure B6 of Appendix B of AS/NZS 62087.2.2:2011 showing an energy rating of a half a star in accordance with clause 4.3 of AS/NZS 62087.2.2:2011.
