The Greenhouse and Energy Minimum Standards (GEMS) Check Testing Selection Criteria are those considered by the GEMS Regulator when determining which models of GEMS products (models) will be selected for check testing.
The Greenhouse and Energy Minimum Standards (GEMS) Check Testing Policy – with Validity Criteria outlines the principles used by the GEMS Regulator to verify, through laboratory testing, whether models of GEMS products (models) meet relevant GEMS level requirements and the energy efficiency claims of manufacturers and suppliers.
The GEMS Regulator, a position established by section 70 of the Greenhouse and Energy Minimum Standards Act 2012 (GEMS Act), is responsible for monitoring and enforcing compliance with the GEMS Act.

Air conditioners, including multi-split systems, covered by the Greenhouse and Energy Minimum Standards (Air Conditioners up to 65kW) Determination 2019 and Greenhouse and Energy Minimum Standards (Air Conditioners above 65kW) Determination 2022, must be registered before they can be supplied or sold within Australia.
Multi-split air conditioning systems are defined as having:
separate indoor and outdoor parts, or ‘units’ that are connected with refrigerant piping
two or more indoor units, each of which can be individually controlled.
The Greenhouse and Energy Minimum Standards (GEMS) Compliance Monitoring Program outlines the GEMS Regulator's compliance monitoring focus for 2022-2023.
From 1 October 2022, most swimming pool and spa pool pumps will need to meet minimum energy efficiency performance requirements and display an Energy Rating Label when being supplied.
These requirements are established under the Greenhouse and Energy Minimum Standards (GEMS) Act 2012 and the Greenhouse and Energy Minimum Standards (Swimming Pool Pump-units) Determination 2021.
