Geltende Rechtsvorschriften:

On 1 October 2012, the Greenhouse and Energy Minimum Standards (GEMS) Act 2012 came into effect, creating a national framework for product energy efficiency in Australia. The GEMS Regulator replaced the previous state regulators, and is the sole party responsible for administering the legislation in Australia. The specific requirements for each product regulated under the GEMS Act - including Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) and Energy Rating Labelling (ERL) requirements - are set out in a further legislative instrument specific to that product type called a GEMS Determination. Greenhouse and Energy Minimum Standards Regulation 2012 prescribes matters relating to applications to register products under the Act, and applications to exempt products from the need to meet requirements of the Act.
