MEPS certification is the Australian energy efficiency rating label. In the mid-1970s, Australia's two largest states, New South Wales (NSW) and Victoria (Victoria) jointly proposed the implementation of the energy labeling system, but it did not start until 1986. Implement a mandatory marking system. In 1992, 5 states and 1 government agreed to implement the mandatory marking system; in 2000, the mandatory marking system was implemented nationwide. At present, in Australia, six products, such as refrigerators, freezers, washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, and single-horse air conditioners, must be affixed with mandatory energy efficiency labels. Voluntary energy-efficiency labels are implemented for the most gas-free products.



Australia's Energy Rating Label system also adopts a self-declaration method similar to the EU CE mark, but companies should register the energy efficiency information of their products with the Australian Greenhouse Gas Office. In order to ensure the accuracy of the energy efficiency data declared by the manufacturer, Australia implements the () testing program: electrical appliances purchased from retail channels are sent to an accredited third-party laboratory for testing. If the test results show that the manufacturer is making false claims, it will be subject to a series of sanctions under the laws of each state, and the product registration will be cancelled (cancellation of the product's right to sell). Therefore, the initial inspection and testing fee shall be borne by the supplier, and any subsequent costs to confirm or overturn the initial testing result shall be borne by the supplier. In order to encourage manufacturers to continuously improve the energy efficiency of their products, Australia has also specially set up the Supreme Energy Conservation Honor Award (TESAW), which is an honor system to encourage products with a star rating in the market. At present, it only involves electrical appliances and gas products, which can help consumers quickly determine the more efficient products on the market. This honor is renewed annually, and in order to qualify for the TESAW award, products must meet a minor energy efficiency standard. Manufacturers must also promise that their products meet the conditions set out in the award.



2MEPS application procedure edits The products under the management scope of energy efficiency regulations must be registered and marked before they are put on the market before they can be sold. The products applying for registration meet the relevant lower standard requirements. The application is accepted by the competent authority, either to the competent authority of the state/territory, or to the competent authority of other states/territories (NSW, VIC, QUEENSLAND, SA), all states/territories recognize registration in other states/territories the result of.
