Standards

EECA's products' programme uses laboratories accredited by IANZ or NATA for its regulatory enforcement activities. This means from time to time we select a sample range of models for a product and test them to make sure that they meet the legal requirements.

The IANZ and NATA websites can help you find a laboratory where your product can be tested.

The document provides a list of test facilities available in in Australia and New Zealand capable of verifying claims of energy efficiency for minimum energy performance standards (MEPS) and labelling.

Importers, manufacturers and sellers of products that are regulated for energy efficiency have some legal obligations to meet.

This guide, Meeting registration and compliance requirements under product energy efficiency regulations, describes what those obligations are and how to meet them.

External power supplies, or power adaptors, are covered by energy efficiency regulations. If you import, manufacture or sell external power supplies - even if they come packaged with a product - there are some requirements you must meet before you can legally sell them in New Zealand.

This fact sheet describes what the requirements for external power supplies are, and how to meet them.
