Regulations require certain products to carry an energy label when offered for sale in Australia. All regulated products (for energy labelling or MEPS) must have their details registered with government. The technical requirements for energy labels are specified in the relevant Australian Standard and it is advisable to consult these when preparing label artwork. A copy of the proposed label must be submitted when registering a product.
The sample labels in EPS and on this page can be edited using most common advanced graphics programs to include the correct star rating, brand and model details, energy consumption and other details required on the label. The labels provided are in the colours, fonts and proportions as specified in the relevant Australian Standard. In all cases, registrants are responsible for ensuring that any labels prepared and submitted comply with the specifications in the relevant standard.
The labels are available in EPS, GIF, JPEG and TIFF files. Only the EPS files (Encapsulated Postscript format) can be edited. Basic editing instructions are included in the EPS file. You will need a vector based graphics program such Illustrator, Freehand or Corel Draw to edit the EPS files.
The GIF, JPEG and TIFF file types cannot be edited and are for use in printed or electronic material related to the energy labelling program.
The EPS label for some products (Clothes Dryers, Clothes Washers and Dishwashers) listed below is made up of the base label plus the relevant star arch selected from the STAR RATING ENERGY ARCH TEMPLATES file. For all other products (Air Conditioners, Refrigerators and Televisions) the stars can be edited directly from within the individual EPS energy rating label. The computer which is being used to prepare the artwork must have GILLS SANS installed for the labels to format correctly. Alternatively, other approved fonts may be used in the artwork to replace GILLS SANS in the EPS file: these fonts are HUMANIST 521 OR HAMMERSMITH.
