Who tests, certifies or approves the product?
Testing, certification, registration, scheme listing and site approval are separate activities. Confirm the organisation's current recognition and scope before engaging it.
Electrical product certificate
State electrical regulator or currently recognised EESS RECS certifier
CBA; EESS Conformity Certification Services; Global-Mark; UL International New Zealand; SAA Approvals; OzCert; SGS Australia; TÜV Rheinland Australia (check current recognition/scope)
Issues recognised electrical certificates within authorised scope; importer must still register and meet ACMA/local law.
Laboratory evidence
NATA-accredited ISO/IEC 17025 laboratory or scheme-accepted overseas laboratory
Select from the live laboratory scope, not accreditation logo alone.
Tests/calibrates named methods; NATA is the accreditor, not the product approval office.
Certification-body accreditation
JAS-ANZ / relevant scheme accreditation
Check certification scope and scheme recognition.
Accredits bodies; it does not replace the product certificate or regulator registration.
PV/inverter/battery scheme listing
Clean Energy Council product program; Clean Energy Regulator for scheme eligibility
IEC/IECEE route accepted by CEC; CER listed hot-water systems.
Assesses listing evidence; does not authorise building, electrical, gas or network installation. Solar Accreditation Australia installer accreditation is separate from SAA Approvals product certification.
WaterMark certification
ABCB-listed WaterMark conformity assessment body
Use current WMCAB directory and certification scope.
Certifies scheduled plumbing products. ABCB administers scheme; potable test report alone is not WaterMark certificate.
GEMS / WELS registration
GEMS Regulator / WELS Regulator
Energy Rating registration; Water Rating registration.
Registers covered models and oversees mandated efficiency/labels; separate electrical safety approval may apply.
Trade meter approval
National Measurement Institute and authorised verifier
Pattern approval, verification and applicable energy-market metering actors.
Confirms prescribed trade-measurement route; ordinary monitoring meter and trade meter differ.
Ex equipment
Accepted IECEx certification body; state electrical/gas/WHS authority
Use official IECEx body and certificate directories and actual equipment scope.
Certificates cover defined model/protection; site classification and installation still need competent assessment.
Wind conformity
Scheme/contract-accepted wind certifier, including appropriate IECRE route
Check component/type/project certificate and site design envelope.
Assesses specified wind design/equipment; project permissions and network acceptance are separate.
Pressure plant registration
State WHS/OHS regulator; independent competent design verifier
Design registration and item registration are separate.
Registers applicable designs/items against threshold rules; no universal import certificate for every vessel.
Gas appliance/plant acceptance
Relevant state gas technical regulator and accepted gas certification/assessment route
Type A, Type B and hydrogen routes differ by jurisdiction.
Provides locally required product/installation acceptance; overseas approval alone may not suffice.
Project installation and design
Licensed electrical/plumbing/refrigeration contractor; appropriately registered engineer; building certifier; network
Australian Refrigeration Council/DCCEEW licensing where applicable; council/EPA/water/fire permissions.
Designs, installs and approves the actual site within professional and regulator scope.
Supply exact-model evidence, accepted document versions, expiry dates, labels, Australian instructions, warranty terms and support contacts. Tell RRE about changes to model, firmware, components, factory, certification or approved configuration. Business registration alone does not approve a supplier or product. RRE reviews marketplace evidence; it does not issue regulatory product certification.
Browse the 135 standards records.
AS, AS/NZS, IEC and other references serve different purposes. A standard becomes mandatory through the applicable law, scheme, approval or agreement; inclusion here alone does not make it mandatory. Overseas marks such as CE or UL do not by themselves establish Australian compliance.

View the reference scope and assessment limits
Covers the 18 categories and 133 subcategories visible in the RRE proposed master taxonomy v2.0. Includes supply/import requirements and the principal installation, network, scheme and project triggers. This is not a claim to identify every law for every possible future product or site. Actual required parts and accepted editions are determined by the explicit conditions, equipment definitions and product/site facts.
- Public regulator guidance and official publisher catalogues were checked; licensed standard clauses have not been audited in full. Obtain the applicable full texts for certification/design.
- The live proposed RRE taxonomy was used, not an independently supplied internal category register. New or different register entries require mapping.
- Equipment not fully specified cannot be individually approved. Use the supplied classification and standard-selection routes to resolve its model, class, chemistry, capacity and location.
- Current product listing/registration/certificate status and local adoption must be rechecked at the offer, purchase and installation dates.
- Technical standards without a stated legislative, scheme or contract trigger are conformity references, not asserted universal mandatory laws.
