4  Simplified outline

      Part 2 of this instrument tells you what products are emissions‑controlled products. Most of the requirements of the Act, and liability for customs charge and excise charge, apply in relation to emissions‑controlled products.
      Under the Act, emissions‑controlled products must not be imported into, or supplied in, Australia unless they are certified. Part 4 of this instrument provides that a product is certified for the purposes of the Act if the product is:
             (a) certified by the Secretary under Division 2 of that Part as meeting the Australian emissions standard for the product set out in Part 3; or
             (b) certified by a foreign regulatory authority as meeting the requirements of one of the foreign emissions standards specified in Division 3 of Part 4.
      The Secretary may, under Part 5, grant exemptions from the requirements of the Act in certain circumstances. Exemptions can be subject to conditions.
      Part 6 sets out marking requirements for certified products imported into, or supplied in, Australia.
      Importers and suppliers of emissions‑controlled products must keep records in accordance with Part 7. Annual reports must be given to the Secretary about supplying emissions‑controlled products manufactured in Australia.
      Part 8 sets fees for applying for Australian certification or for an exemption.
      Part 9 deals with the collection and recovery of customs charge and excise charge.
