3 DEFINITIONS
For the purposes of this Standard, the definitions gisen in AS’NZS 4879.1 apply.
4 ENERGY EFFICIENCY C’t.ASSIFI(’ATION
4.1 Number of samples
At least one ILC shall be tested in accordance with AS,’NZS 4879.1. In addition, at the cndor’s discretion, more than one ELC ma be tested to scrify performance.
The manufacturer or responsible vendor of the ELC shall declare compliance with Clause 5.
The appropriate documents shall he made available to the relevant regulatory authority
LI0fl request.
6.1 .5 Records c:vuilahiliii’
Records shall be retained for at least five years after the last date of nianufacture or import, whichever is applicable.
6.1 .6 Duration of registration
Registrations for energy labelling and MEPS may have a validity of up to five years. Registration expir dates are reviewed annually and records may he extended (up to the five year limit in one year increments) where there is no forthcoming change to regulatory requirements.
More details on the duration of registration can be found in the National Appliance and EquiPment Energy F.fficiency Program Administrative Guideline. The most up.to-date version can be obtained from hitp://www.energrating.gov.au.
6.2 holding of records
6.2.1 New Zealand
In New Zealand. where registration is not required. Clauses 6.2.2 to 6.2.4 shall apply.
6.2.2 Provision of information
The manufacturer or responsible vendor shall complete and submit the prescribed form to the relevant regulatory authority. The prescribed form is Appendix A.
NOTES:
1 ‘this can be done online at the http://w ,encr ratino au website. ‘this is the preferred method. However, the form can be completed on paper and submitted to the regulatory authority Energy Efficiency Conservation Authority (EECA). Models registered in Australia are deemed to have complied with this requirement.
2 Full details of the regulatory requirements for manufacturers or responsible vendors in New Zealand are found in the Energy Efficiency (Energy’ Using Products) Regulations 2002.
6.2.3 Test report
6.2.3.1 General
A test report for each model of the ELC tested in accordance with AS/NZS 4879.1 shall be held by the manufacturer or responsible vendor and made available to the relevant regulatory authority upon request.
Under New Zealand’s Energy Efficiency (Energy Using Products) Regulations 2002. a test report shall be made available to the regulatory’ authority (EECA) upon request within five working days.
