      6 GEMS level requirements
      Energy use and greenhouse gas production
      (1)          For the purposes of paragraphs 24 (1) (a) and 25 (a) of the Act, the specified energy use requirements are the requirements mentioned in section 2.1 of AS/NZS 4552.2:2010 but excluding the words "or AS/NZS 4452.3 (when published)" that appear in that section of the standard.
             Note: AS/NZS 4552.2:2010 contained certain references in anticipation of a new version of the standard, AS/NZS 4552.3:2005, being published. That later version of the standard had not been published as at the date this Determination came into force, and, therefore, the references to the later version of the standard do not apply in conducting tests pursuant to this Determination.
      Conducting tests
        (2)                  For the purposes of paragraphs 24 (1) (a) and 25 (b) of the Act, the specified requirements for conducting tests are the requirements mentioned in paragraph AA3.1 (Annual energy consumption) of Appendix AA of AS/NZS 5263.1.2:2016.

      7 GEMS labelling requirements

      There are no GEMS labelling requirements for products covered by this Determination.
      8 Other GEMS requirements
