This consultation has closed.
Early in 2024, stakeholders were invited to nominate products to be considered for potential inclusion in the WELS scheme. Six product nominations were received.
You can find out more about which products will be considered further in the WELS Product Expansion Program 2024-25 Work Plan.
Overview
We are looking at expanding the range of product categories regulated under the Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards (WELS) scheme.
Expanding the scheme will enable manufacturers and suppliers to show that their products are water efficient using the WELS label. This will assist consumers to make informed choices that save water.
You can use this form to nominate a product category to be considered for regulation and mandatory labelling under the WELS scheme. Your nomination and supporting information will help us perform an initial assessment on possible WELS scheme inclusion.
If you wish to nominate more than one product, fill out a nomination form for each product category.
To make your nomination:

Submit your feedback by 15 March 2024.
Nominations received will be prioritised. Following prioritisation, a preliminary assessment will be performed. Assessment is a lengthy process and will take time to complete. You may be contacted during the preliminary assessment stage for further information or clarification.
