In order to improve the energy utilization efficiency of electrical equipment and products in various industries and enhance significant economic and environmental benefits, Australia and New Zealand issued the Greenhouse and Low Energy Standard Technical Regulations (referred to as GEMS) and took effect on October 1, 2012. The new GEMS The regulations not only cover the previous major policy work, mandatory minimum performance standards (abbreviated as MEPS).
In terms of MEMS registration in the GEMS regulations, compared to the past, applicants cannot choose any state to register on the Australian official website. Instead, they are required to register with the Australian Regulator. For all product types, the GEMS regulations no longer set a single registration fee, the product type will be divided into four categories, the registration fee ranges from 440 Australian dollars to 780 Australian dollars, and the registration period is 5 years. A compulsory performance efficiency certification formally implemented on October 1, 2014, used to replace the MEPS certification. Since GEMS certification requires that local applicants in Australia or New Zealand can apply for registration, to a certain extent, there are certain trade barriers to Chinese products.
