Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

The short version

IPD Group Limited gets a special pass to sell a specific halogen light bulb (model GU10EE40/60) that would otherwise be caught by Australia's energy efficiency rules.

The fine print

This isn't a total free kick. The GEMS Regulator has exempted this specific model from the usual energy efficiency requirements in the Greenhouse and Energy Minimum Standards (Incandescent Lamps) Determination 2012, but only on the condition that the lamp meets a different technical standard instead: clause 4.3 of AS 4934.2-2011 (an alternative efficacy requirement).

Who's involved

Regulator: David Walker (GEMS Regulator)
Beneficiary: IPD Group Limited
Product: GU10EE40/60 mains voltage halogen non-reflector lamp

How long it lasts

The exemption runs from the day after registration (1 October 2013) until either the Regulator withdraws it or the underlying 2012 Determination is revoked.
