Compliance testing is conducted to assist an appliance to meet:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Equipment Energy Efficiency Program (E3) for Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS)<\/li>\n
- Energy Star Rating scheme (ESR).<\/li>\n
- Greenhouse and Energy Minimum Standards (GEMS)<\/li>\n
- In Australia, GEMS WELS Registers: YUKAWA LAB can help Australian manufacturers register their appliances with the GEMS Regulators, upon successful completion of testing under the Energy Star Rating schemes.<\/li>\n
- In New Zealand \u2013 Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA): YUKAWA LAB can help New Zealand based manufacturers register their appliances with the Energy Efficiency & Conversion Authority (EECA), upon successful completion of testing under the Energy Efficiency (Energy Using Products) Regulations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
MEPS and Energy Labelling:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Yukawa Lab can test the following products that must meet Energy Labelling requirements prior to entering the Australian market:
\n– Air-conditioners
\n– Electric Water Heaters
\n– Swimming pool pump units<\/li>\n - Yukawa Lab can test the following products which must meet the MEPS requirements:
\n– Single phase air-conditioners (air enthalpy method)
\n– Three phase air-conditioners (air enthalpy method)
\n– Closed control air-conditioners (air enthalpy method)
\n– Electric Hot Water Heaters<\/li>\n - Yukawa Lab offers guidance in the preparation of due diligence compliance folders, for risk management and routine quality assurance, when only a voluntary scheme exists to ensure product safety. This is strongly recommended by the ACCC<\/li>\n
- Yukawa Lab can perform other performance testing types, including but not limited to:
\n– Understanding the effect of manufacturing tolerances,
\n– Screen Testing,
\n– Adding independent value to performance claims,
\n– Providing design assistance for new technology ideas and comparative purposes.<\/li>\n - Yukawa Lab provides eligibility and performance testing for STC entitlements to ensure Solar Water Heaters and Heat Pump Water Heaters meet the requirements under the Clean Energy Regulator and Essential Services Commission.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Research & Development<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Yukawa Lab can support manufacturers with R&D projects who are seeking to improve the performance and safety of their appliances before entering the Australian or New Zealand markets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>
