We are inviting feedback on an exposure draft of the Greenhouse and Energy Minimum Standards (Dishwashers) Determination 2022.
The draft determination introduces updated Australian and New Zealand standards for dishwashers. This includes new low level Minimum Energy Performance Standards.
Greenhouse and Energy Minimum Standards legislation
The Greenhouse and Energy Minimum Standards (GEMS) Act established a consistent, national program for appliance energy efficiency in Australia. Its purpose is to improve the energy efficiency of appliances covered by the legislation and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The Dishwashers Determination aims to provide consumers with better information about the energy efficiency of dishwashers through the Energy Rating Label (ERL).
It sets requirements for wash performance to ensure that Australians are able to purchase a product that both operates as required and is energy efficient.
The Australian Government proposes to replace the GEMS (Dishwashers) Determination 2015 with this draft determination.
