Voluntary Energy Rating Labelling Program for Swimming Pool Pump-units

Summary

From April 2010 Australian and New Zealand energy efficiency regulatory agencies have been offering a Voluntary Energy Rating Labelling Program in relation to swimming pool pumps under the Equipment Energy Efficiency Program (E3). The Rules for Participation in this Program can be downloaded from this page.

While suppliers are not required to participate in this Program, if a supplier decides to participate in the Program (by attaching a label to products to display the relative energy efficiency of the particular product) they must then abide by these rules.

The Voluntary Labelling Program aims to build energy efficiency awareness in pool owners so that they can make informed decisions when they need to purchase new pool pumps. It will also assist the swimming pool pump industry to transition to mandatory Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) and mandatory labelling in the near future.

Download the Rules for Participation that govern the Voluntary Energy Rating Labelling Program for Swimming Pool Pump-units. A registration form can be found in Appendix C of this document. Registrants can email their completed forms to energyrating@climatechange.gov.au

Where to find the relevant standards

The testing, labelling and minimum efficiency requirements in the Australian Standard AS 5102-2009 Parts1 and 2, govern the operation of this voluntary scheme. Therefore, these Rules for Participation need to be read in conjunction with AS 5102-2009 which can be obtained online from SAI Global.
