 (b) if the model of the product was registered as a result of a subsequent application under section 46 of the Act—that application;

  as a result of its size, there is no testing laboratory:

 (c) in which the RDC is able to be tested in accordance with ISO 23953-2:2023; and

 (d) that has been approved by the National Association of Testing Authorities, Australia.

Note 1: Clause 1 of Schedule 2 to this instrument:

 sets out variations to ISO 23953-2:2023 that apply for the purposes of this instrument; and

 provides for how ISO 23953-2:2023 applies in relation to low sales volume RSCs.

Note 2: For the purposes of this instrument:

 models of ice cream freezer cabinets and scooping cabinets cannot be “low sales volume”; and

 models of ice cream freezer cabinets, scooping cabinets and RSCs cannot be “oversize”.

Note 3: A model of an RDC could be “low sales volume”, “oversize”, both, or neither. A model of an RSC might or might not be “low sales volume”.

Note 4: Under this instrument, the annual energy consumption (AEC) and reference annual energy consumption (RAEC), and hence the energy efficiency index (EEI), of “low sales volume” and/or “oversize” RDCs, and of “low sales volume” RSCs, are calculated differently from other RDCs and RSCs (see sections 25 and 26). There is also an additional testing requirement for some “low sales volume” RDCs and RSCs (see section 28).

Note 5: For “low sales volume” RDCs and RSCs, the GEMS Regulator may request evidence of annual sales volumes under section 56 of the Act.

Note 6: A model of an RDC or an RSC may be registered on the basis that it is “low sales volume”. For such a model, annual sales must not exceed the threshold sales volumes specified in this section in order for the model to continue to be classified as “low sales volume”.

 For an RDC, if at some time after registration, its annual sales exceed the threshold sales volumes, unless models of the product are also “oversize”, they will need to comply with the requirements of this instrument that apply to RDCs generally.

 For an RSC, if at some time after registration, its annual sales exceed the threshold sales volumes, models of the product will need to comply with the requirements of this instrument that apply to RSCs generally.

 If the models do not satisfy these general requirements, the GEMS Regulator might consider suspending or cancelling the model’s registration under Division 6 of Part 5 of the Act, or might consider commencing enforcement action.

16  Families of models

 (1) For the purposes of section 28 of the Act, for a particular product class covered by this instrument, 2 or more models are in the same family of models if:

 (a) they are members of a family that has been declared to the GEMS Regulator; and

 (b) the requirements of this section are satisfied in relation to the models and the family.

Part 3—GEMS level requirements

Division 3.1—Preliminary

22  Purpose of Part

  This Part specifies:

 (a) GEMS level requirements in accordance with section 25 of the Act for the product classes covered by this instrument, for the purposes of paragraph 24(1)(a) of the Act; and

 (b) testing requirements for the purposes of this Part, for the purposes of paragraph 25(b) of the Act.

23  Definitions

 (1) In this Part:

low-efficiency reference set: see reference low‑efficiency version.

reference low‑efficiency version of an RDC or an RSC means a hypothetical version of the cabinet in which the set of relevant components is replaced by a set of components (the low-efficiency reference set):

 (a) each of which is of a kind listed in column 2 of the table to subsection (2); and

 (b) that collectively perform the same function as the components that are replaced.

Note: For a particular RDC or RSC, there might be more than one possible reference low‑efficiency version (each having a different low-efficiency reference set of components). If there is more than one possible version, any version (having any suitable low-efficiency reference set of components) may be used for the purposes of this Part.

relevant component of a particular RDC or RSC means any component of the cabinet that is of a kind listed in column 1 of the table to subsection (2).

Note: A particular RDC or RSC will have only a single set of relevant components.

 (2) For the purposes of subsection (1), the table is:

Division 3.2—GEMS level requirements

24  GEMS level requirements

  The table has effect:

Note 1: For the purposes of item 1 of the table, the product class could be any of product classes 1, 2, 5 to 8 or 11 to 15.

Note 2: For the purpose of items 2 and 3 of the table, the product class could be any of product classes 3, 4, 9 or 10.

Note 3: For the product classes, see section 20 and Schedule 1.

25  Calculation of energy efficiency index or EEI

  The energy efficiency index, or EEI, of a refrigerated cabinet that is covered by this instrument is calculated in accordance with the following formula:

  where:

AEC is the refrigerated cabinet’s annual energy consumption, in kWh per year, and is calculated in accordance with section 26.

RAEC is the refrigerated cabinet’s reference annual energy consumption, in kWh per year, and is calculated in accordance with section 26.

Note: For refrigerated cabinets that are covered by this instrument, other than low sales volume and/or oversize RDCs and low sales volume RSCs, the reference annual energy consumption is equal to the standard annual energy consumption, which represents the energy consumption of a standard cabinet of the relevant type.

 For low sales volume and/or oversize RDCs and low sales volume RSCs, the reference annual energy consumption is equal to the base annual energy consumption, which reflects the energy consumption of a reference low‑efficiency version of a cabinet of the relevant type.

26  Calculation of annual energy consumption (AEC) and reference annual energy consumption (RAEC)

Note 1: Most calculations for the purposes of this section rely on calculation of the amount E24h (see section 14).

Note 2: For RDCs that are low sales volume and/or oversize, and for RSCs that are low sales volume, the calculations involve determination of various amounts on the basis of:

 the RDC or RSC with the actual components (the relevant components); and

 a hypothetical reference low‑efficiency version of the cabinet with a low‑efficiency reference set of components.

Note 3: In the case of low sales volume and/or oversize RDCs that are remote, the amounts are:

 the DEC (short for direct electrical energy consumption), which is a measure of the energy consumption of the electrical components of the RDC, and which excludes the energy consumption of the remote refrigeration system that runs the RDC (the REC); and

 the REC (short for refrigeration electrical energy consumption), which is a measure of the energy consumption of the refrigeration system that runs the RDC.

 The sum of the DEC and the REC is a measure of the total energy consumption (the TEC) of the RDC.

Note 4: In the case of low sales volume and/or oversize RDCs that are integral, or low sales volume RSCs (which, in order to be covered by this instrument, must be integral), only the amount TEC is determined (and not the separate amounts DEC and REC), and this amount is the total energy consumption of the RDC or RSC, including the integral refrigeration system.

 (1) For the definitions of AEC and RAEC in section 25, the table has effect:

Definitions—items 1 to 4 (RDCs, scooping cabinets, ice cream freezer cabinets and RSCs)

 (2) For the purposes of items 1 to 4 of the table to subsection (1):
