Australian MEPS certification
The energy consumption performance of electronic and electrical products is getting more and more attention from ordinary consumers, and the requirements for energy consumption of electronic and electrical products are certified around the world. Testing & Certification Australia also recently launched MEPS certification for the Australian market. The Australian government's energy consumption requirements include energy consumption labeling and minimum energy consumption standards (MEPS).
All the following electronic products sold in Australia are required to be attached with energy consumption stickers:
* Refrigerator and ice maker
* Washing machine
* Clothes dryer
* dishwasher
* Air conditioning (single phase mandatory, three phase voluntary)
The following products also need to be controlled on the basis of the minimum energy consumption standard (MEPS)-that is, their minimum energy consumption levels are specified:
* Refrigerator and ice maker (implemented from October 1, 1999, revised on January 1, 2005)
* Main Pressure Storage Electric Water Heater (Effective from October 1, 1999)
* Small main pressure storage electric water heater (<80L) and low pressure heat exchange type (implemented from October 1, 2005) (refer to the limits and test methods in AGO)
* Three-phase motor (0.73 kW to <185 kW) (implemented from October 1, 2001, revised in April 2006)
* Single-phase air conditioner (implemented from October 1, 2004, revised respectively 2006, 2007 and April 1, 2008)
* Three-phase air conditioner with a cooling power of 65 kW (implemented from October 1, 2001, revised on October 1, 2007)
* Straight tube fluorescent ballast (from 1 March 2003). Note that in addition to MEPS, the ballast also needs to be marked with an efficiency index (EEI).
* Straight Tube Fluorescent Light-Contains 550mm to 1500mm and has a lighting power greater than 16 watts (implemented from October 1, 2004)
* Distribution Transformers – 11 kV and 22 kV with ratings from 10 kA to 2.5 MVA (implemented from October 1, 2004)
* Commercial refrigerator (self-contained and remote control system) (implemented from October 1, 2004)
虽然 Although the following products have not been listed in the compulsory management catalogue, they will also need to meet the energy consumption specifications and obtain certification in the near future, and some of them have been set for implementation dates.
* External power supply (implemented from October 1, 2008);
* Set-top box (implemented from October 1, 2008);
* TV;
* Home entertainment equipment: (audio and video equipment) (implemented from October 1, 2008);
* Hot and cold water dispensers;
* Vending machines;
* Commercial ice maker;
* Tube series
