Preface 1 Delete the last sentence in the fourth paragraph and add the following:
    In Australia, lavatory equipment, showers, tap equipment and urinal equipment
are required to comply with minimum water eﬃciency requirements set out in the
National Construction Code, Volume Three — Plumbing Code of Australia (NCC).
Dishwashers and washing machines are also required to comply with minimum
water eﬃciency requirements set out in this Standard. In New Zealand the
requirements of this document apply.
  2 Fifth paragraph, delete items (a) and (b) and replace with the following:
    (a) The minimum water eﬃciency requirements for product registration have
been aligned with the requirements of the NCC.
    (b) The previous 4 Star rating for showers has been split in two to permit the
registration of 5 Star showers that meet the extra performance test
requirements of this Standard.

Cl 1.4.101 (new) After “1.4.2 Actuator”, add the following:
  1.4.101 Building
  Buildings and their classes as deﬁned in the NCC.
Cl 1.4.102 (new) After “1.4.6 Model code”, add the following:
  1.4.102 Model id
  See Model code (1.4.6).
  NOTE: Model ids are used as the unique identiﬁers for whitegoods.

for text advice requirements) may be used if it is compliant with the requirements
of this Standard, including requirements relating to readability.
  4 Delete the third paragraph and replace with the following:
    The registered model name and/or the WELS registration number shall be
prominent and visible with a clear and obvious connection to the product at all
points of supply excluding packaging.
Cl 2.5.4.101 (new) After Clause 2.5.4.6, add the following:
  2.5.4.101 Building development requirements
  Where a development is being supplied with WELS products, information shall be
provided for each WELS product being oﬀered for supply. Due to the nature of the building
and construction industry and supply chains, there are diﬀerences in the level of
information that can reasonably be provided at each stage of supply during the
construction process.
Cl 2.5.4.102 (new) After Clause 2.5.4.101, add the following:
  2.5.4.102  Requirements if WELS product information is not known
