Standards & labelling
Product environmental standards are sets of quality benchmarks that promote the environmental performance of a product. While many standards are mandatory such as energy ratings for televisions, others are voluntary and are a great way to promote your brand as environmentally friendly.- Energy rating
Energy ratings are an important tool for comparing the energy efficiency of appliances. As a supplier of an electrical appliance, you can use the rating to allow your customers to compare your products with your competitor's. - Energy star
Energy star is a voluntary international standard for electronic equipment that has an energy-efficient standby function enabled. By selling or using products compliant with the energy star standard, you can help the environment and your customers by reducing the amount of energy needed. - Fuel consumption
The Motor Vehicle Standards Act 1989 covers national safety and environmental requirements for all vehicles manufactured in Australia. Under the Act, manufacturers and importers must also comply with the Australian Design Rules (ADRs) that cover fuel consumption labelling requirements. - Greenhouse gas emissions
