15  Meaning of low sales volume and oversize
  In this instrument:
low sales volume: an RDC or an RSC is low sales volume at a particular date:
 (a) for an RDC or an RSC of a model that belongs to a family of models—if:
 (i) the family of models is registered as a low sales volume family of models; and
 (ii) no more than 25 units of the models that belong to the family of models are sold in the calendar year that includes that date; or
 (b) for an RDC or an RSC of a model that that does not belong to a family of models—if:
 (i) the model is registered as a low sales volume model; and
 (ii) no more than 10 units of the model are sold in the calendar year that includes that date.
oversize: an RDC is oversize if, at the time of:
 (a) if the model of the product was registered as a result of an application under section 41 of the Act—that application; or
 (b) if the model of the product was registered as a result of a subsequent application under section 46 of the Act—that application;
  as a result of its size, there is no testing laboratory:
 (c) in which the RDC is able to be tested in accordance with ISO 23953-2:2023; and
 (d) that has been approved by the National Association of Testing Authorities, Australia.
Note 1: Clause 1 of Schedule 2 to this instrument:
 sets out variations to ISO 23953-2:2023 that apply for the purposes of this instrument; and
 provides for how ISO 23953-2:2023 applies in relation to low sales volume RSCs.
Note 2: For the purposes of this instrument:
       models of ice cream freezer cabinets and scooping cabinets cannot be "low sales volume"; and
       models of ice cream freezer cabinets, scooping cabinets and RSCs cannot be "oversize".
Note 3: A model of an RDC could be "low sales volume", "oversize", both, or neither. A model of an RSC might or might not be "low sales volume".
Note 4: Under this instrument, the annual energy consumption (AEC) and reference annual energy consumption (RAEC), and hence the energy efficiency index (EEI), of "low sales volume" and/or "oversize" RDCs, and of "low sales volume" RSCs, are calculated differently from other RDCs and RSCs (see sections 25 and 26). There is also an additional testing requirement for some "low sales volume" RDCs and RSCs (see section 28).
Note 5: For "low sales volume" RDCs and RSCs, the GEMS Regulator may request evidence of annual sales volumes under section 56 of the Act.
Note 6: A model of an RDC or an RSC may be registered on the basis that
