7                    GEMS labelling requirements
      Labelling and communication requirements
(1)           Subject to subsection 7 (2) of this Determination, for paragraphs 24 (1) (b), 26 (1) (a) and 26 (1) (b) of the Act, the GEMS labelling and communication requirements are the requirements mentioned in sections 2, 5 and Appendix B of AS/NZS 2442.2:2000, with the following modifications:
(a)      Part 1 of Schedule 2 of this Determination applies instead of subclause 1.5.10 and clause 2.8 of AS/NZS.2:2000.
(b)      Part 3 of Schedule 2 of this Determination applies instead of the requirements in clause 5.1 of AS/NZS 2442.2:2000.
(2)           For subsection 7 (1) of this Determination, if a star rating of seven or more stars is derived from the star rating index in accordance with Part 1 of Schedule 2 of this Determination, the labelling requirements are either:
(a)      the labelling requirements specified in sections 2, 5 and Appendix B of AS/NZS 2442.2:2000 as if the star rating were deemed to be six stars; or
(b)      the requirements specified in Part 2 of Schedule 2 of this Determination (the Super-Efficiency Label).

           Note: Where the derived star rating is one to six stars, the standard Energy Efficiency Label (that is, the labelling requirements specified in sections 2, 5 and Appendix B of AS/NZS 2442.2:2000) must still be used.
      Conducting tests
(3)           For paragraph 26 (1) (c) of the Act, the specified requirements for conducting tests are the requirements mentioned in sections 2 and 4 of AS/NZS 2442.1:1996, as modified by subsection 7 (4) of this Determination.
(4)           The requirements for conducting tests specified in subsection 7(3) are modified as follows:
(a)      The items specified in Part 1 of Schedule 1 of this Determination can be used as alternative to the test load component items specified in Table E1 of Appendix E of AS/NZS 2442.1:1996, provided that the test load make up is prepared in accordance with Table E2 of Appendix E of AS/NZS 2442.1:1996.
             Note:  The total mass of the load when using the alternative load specifications in Part 1 of Schedule 1 is on average 3.2 percent higher than the approximate bone dry mass listed in column 2 Table E2 of Appendix E of AS/NZS 2442.1:1996. This is slightly higher than the original load specified in AS/NZS 2442.1:1996 but is considered to be within acceptable limits considering that the mass of the load items is measured when they are new and some loss of mass is expected over the life of the load items.
(b)      Where rotary clothes dryers have both timer and autosensing control mechanisms:
(i)            the determination of moisture removal and energy consumption must be tested on the supplier's nominated autosensing program not in accordance with clause 2.2 of AS/NZS 2442.1:1996;
