Summary

Since the late 1970s, Australian Standards have contained voluntary Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) for electric storage water heaters (EWH), which are expressed in terms of the maximum allowable heat loss specified in AS1056. In 1999, government regulations made the latest revision of these MEPS levels mandatory for mains pressure storage models while the MEPS levels for other types of electric storage water heaters remained voluntary.
