 (4) The National Measurement Act 1960, and any instrument made under that Act, must be used for conversions required under this section.

1.16  Rounding of amounts
 (1) If:
 (a) an amount is worked out under this Determination; and
 (b) the number is not a whole number;
then:
 (c) the number is to be rounded up to the next whole number if the number at the first decimal place equals or exceeds 5; and
 (d) rounded down to the next whole number if the number at the first decimal place is less than 5.
 (2) Subsection (1) applies to amounts that are measures of emissions or energy.

1.17  Status of standards
  If there is an inconsistency between this Determination and a documentary standard, this Determination prevails to the extent of the inconsistency.

Division 1.2.2—Methods

1.18  Method to be used for a separate occurrence of a source
 (1) This section deals with the number of methods that may be used to estimate emissions of a particular greenhouse gas released, in relation to a separate occurrence of a source, from the operation of a facility.
 (1A) Subsections (2) and (3) do not apply to a facility if:
 (a) the principal activity of the facility is electricity generation (ANZSIC industry classification and code 2611) and the generating unit used to perform the principal activity:
 (i) does not have the capacity to generate, in a reporting year, the amount of electricity mentioned in subparagraph 2.3(3)(b)(i); and
 (ii) generates, in a reporting year, less than or equal to the amount of electricity mentioned in subparagraph 2.3(3)(b)(ii); or
 (b) the principal activity of the facility is electricity generation (ANZSIC industry classification and code 2611) and the generating unit used to perform the principal activity:
 (i) does not have the capacity to generate, in a reporting year, the amount of electricity mentioned in subparagraph 2.19(3)(b)(i); and
 (ii) generates, in a reporting year, less than or equal to the amount of electricity mentioned in subparagraph 2.19(3)(b)(ii).
 (2) Subject to subsection (3) and (3A), one method for the separate occurrence of a source must be used for 4 reporting years unless another higher method is used.
 (3) If:
 (a) at a particular time, a method is being used to estimate emissions in relation to the separate occurrence of a source; and
 (b) either:
 (i) in the preceding 4 reporting years before that time, only that method has been used to estimate the emissions from the separate occurrence of the source; or
 (ii) a registered corporation or registered person certifies in writing that the method used was found to be non‑compliant during an external audit of the separate occurrence of the source;
then a lower method may
