10 Application for renewal of registration

(1) The registrant for a registered WELS product may apply in writing to the Regulator to register the product for a further period. (2) The application must be made in a form approved by the Regulator.

Note: In 2013, application forms were available at http://www.waterrating.gov.au.

(3) The application may be made only during the period beginning on 15 September and ending on 5 December in the charging year in which the registration is due to end under subsection 13(1). (4) The registrant may: (a) identify documents previously submitted to the Regulator that the registrant wishes to rely on to show that the product complies with the water efficiency requirements or performance requirements in the WELS standard for the product; or (b) if the registrant does not wish to rely on a previous document—submit a new document to the Regulator.

Note: Reasons a new document, such as a new test report, might be required include a change in the product or a change in the WELS standard since the product was registered.

(5) The application must be accompanied by an application fee. (6) An application under this section may relate to a WELS product that is a minor product.
