Early compliance
 2.2 (1) Despite section 2, for the purposes of section 15 of the Act, a person may apply a testing standard or an efficiency standard or requirement set out in section 1 of the applicable Schedule to this Regulation that would apply to an appliance or product if it were manufactured on a future date if the person complies with the following rules: 1. The person shall select a notional future date and apply both the testing standard and the efficiency standard or requirement set out in section 1 of the applicable Schedule to this Regulation that would apply if the appliance or product were manufactured on the notional future date. 2. If a testing standard or an efficiency standard or requirement set out in section 1 of a Schedule to this Regulation incorporates a document by reference as of a fixed date, the person shall, i. use the version of the incorporated document as it reads on the fixed date, and ii. apply the testing standard or the efficiency standard or requirement set out in the incorporated document that would apply if the appliance or product were manufactured on the notional future date referred to in paragraph 1. 3. If a testing standard or an efficiency standard or requirement set out in section 1 of a Schedule to this Regulation incorporates by reference a document as it reads on the date the particular appliance or product is manufactured the person shall, i. use the version of the incorporated document that is in effect on the actual date the particular product or appliance is manufactured, and ii. apply the testing standard or the efficiency standard or requirement set out in the incorporated standard that would apply if the appliance or product were manufactured on the notional future date referred to in paragraph 1.
