Certification introduction
In order to improve the energy utilization efficiency of electrical equipment and products in various industries and improve significant economic and environmental benefits, Australia and New Zealand issued low standards for greenhouses and energy (GEMS) and came into effect on October 1, 2012. The new GEMS regulations replace the previous MEPS certification (minimum performance standard).
In terms of MEPS registration, compared with the past, applicants cannot choose any state to register on the Australian official website. Instead, they are required to register with Australian Regulator. At the same time, in the Australian states and jurisdictions of Australia, GEMS regulations no longer set a single registration fee for all product types. The product types will be divided into four categories, with the registration fee ranging from AU$440 to AU$780, and the registration period is 5 years.
Applicable product scope
Currently, the products regulated by GEMS are:
compact fluorescent lamps, ultra-low voltage converters, dual-end fluorescent lamps, fluorescent lamp ballasts, incandescent lamps, washing machines, clothes dryers, dishwashers, external power supplies, TVs, digital set-top boxes, electric water heaters, air conditioners and heat pumps, three-phase motors, household refrigeration equipment, refrigeration towers/precision air conditioners, commercial refrigerators, display cabinets, distribution transformers, etc.

2. Submit test reports and other materials for GEMS registration. After the data is reviewed and approved, you will obtain a GEMS certification certificate.
