Proposal to Make Regulations for Mandatory
Energy Performance Labelling

Pursuant to section 36 of the Energy Efficiency and
Conservation Act 2000, the Minister of Energy gives the
following notice.

The Minister of Energy proposes to recommend to Cabinet
that Schedule 2 of the Energy Efficiency (Energy Using
Products) Regulations 2002 be amended to update the
standards for dishwashers and washing machines.

A period of public consultation on the proposed Regulations
is also notified and details are given below.

The proposed amendments are to update the current
standards for mandatory energy rating labelling for both
dishwashers and washing machines and replace them with
the following:

● AS/NZS 2007.1:2005 Performance of household
electrical appliances – Dishwashers – Part 1 Methods
for measuring performance, energy and water
consumption;

● AS/NZS 2007.2:2005 Performance of household
electrical appliances – Dishwashers – Part 2 Energy
efficiency labelling requirements;

● AS/NZS 2040.1:2005 Performance of household
electrical appliances – Clothes washing machines – Part
1 Energy consumption and performance; and

● AS/NZS 2040.2:2005 Performance of household
electrical appliances – Clothes washing machines – Part
2 Energy efficiency labelling requirements.

It is proposed the amendments will come into force on
1 April 2007.

The proposed Regulations will include standby energy
consumption in the calculations for the energy rating labels
for dishwashers and clothes washing machines. It will
ensure alignment of standards with Australia, in accordance
with the Trans-Tasman Mutual Recognition Arrangement,
and ensure the energy rating labels for these products
accurately reflect their energy consumption, including
standby.

Written submissions on the proposed Regulations are invited
from members of the public and interested organisations.
The last date on which the Energy Efficiency and
Conservation Authority (EECA) will receive written
submissions on the proposed Regulations is Friday,
10 November 2006 by 5.00 p.m.
