I am preparing an application for registration of an appliance and the Australian Standard requires laboratory testing. What testing lab should I use?
There is no particular requirement for laboratories to be accredited or products certified for registration for energy labelling and MEPS in Australia. Test reports from the manufacturer’s laboratory are satisfactory. But test reports on three separate units are required for most products (airconditioners are an exception). Test reports from an accredited laboratory are preferred. Laboratories do not have to be government approved. However, if there is evidence that results from a particular laboratory are unsatisfactory, regulators can mandate test reports from an accredited laboratory.
