This instrument is the Product Emissions Standards Rules 2017.
3 Authority
This instrument is made under the Product Emissions Standards Act 2017.
4 Simplified outline
Part 2 of this instrument tells you what products are emissions‑controlled products. Most of the requirements of the Act, and liability for customs charge and excise charge, apply in relation to emissions‑controlled products.
Under the Act, emissions‑controlled products must not be imported into, or supplied in, Australia unless they are certified. Part 4 of this instrument provides that a product is certified for the purposes of the Act if the product is:
(a) certified by the Secretary under Division 2 of that Part as meeting the Australian emissions standard for the product set out in Part 3; or
(b) certified by a foreign regulatory authority as meeting the requirements of one of the foreign emissions standards specified in Division 3 of Part 4.
The Secretary may, under Part 5, grant exemptions from the requirements of the Act in certain circumstances. Exemptions can be subject to conditions.
Part 6 sets out marking requirements for certified products imported into, or supplied in, Australia.
Importers and suppliers of emissions‑controlled products must keep records in accordance with Part 7. Annual reports must be given to the Secretary about supplying emissions‑controlled products manufactured in Australia.
Part 8 sets fees for applying for Australian certification or for an exemption.
Part 9 deals with the collection and recovery of customs charge and excise charge.

Note: Example: Adding a fuel tank to an engine is not further manufacturing of the engine.
(2) An engine is a competition engine if:
(a) the engine is designed solely for use in organised competition; and
(b) because of features of the engine that cannot easily be removed, or other characteristics of the engine, use of the engine other than in organised competition would be unsafe or impractical.

Note: Under the Act, the Minister may amend this instrument, including the table in this subsection. For example, if the Minister became satisfied, having regard to the objects of the Act, that certificates of conformity issued by a regulatory authority that is not specified in the table are equivalent in all relevant ways to foreign certificates of conformity specified in the table, the Minister could amend the table to specify that regulatory authority, the relevant emissions standard and the certificates of conformity issued by the authority.
(2) Column 4 of an item of the table in subsection (1) does not apply to a document that:
(a) applies for limited purposes; and
(b) is granted on the basis of criteria that are substantially less rigorous than those which usually apply to granting documents mentioned in that item.
Note: Example: An export‑only certificate of conformity mentioned in paragraph 40 CFR 1068.230(a).
