The registrant was required to provide two refrigerated cabinets for check testing under section 57 of the GEMS Act, but ultimately applied to cancel the registration of all 14 of their registered products instead under subsection 54(2) of the GEMS Act.
Once a model’s registration has been cancelled, it can no longer be offered for supply in Australia.
Check testing is conducted to verify whether the product meets the energy-efficiency claims provided on the registration.
