Overview of Standards by Product

Standards are the vehicle through which performance requirements and test methods necessary to comply with the regulatory requirements of the Equipment Energy efficiency program are specified.  Performance standards cover product definitions, performance levels including MEPS, labelling algorithms and presentational requirements, test method requirements and registration requirements.  Test method standards contain test procedure and ambient conditions such as the test method, performance measures and test materials

The following performance and test standards apply to products regulated under the Equipment Energy Efficiency program.

Where performance standards also reference standby power requirements, this should be tested according to AS/NZS 62301:2005.  This standard is based IEC standard of the same number. See the standby page for more details.

A number of other products are being considered for energy labelling and MEPS programs (or will have existing levels revised).
