identifies a modified version of Option Four1 as the
preferred option, including the following proposed
changes. Note that these measures have been developed
under the Australian and New Zealand Equipment
Energy Efficiency (E3) Program for adoption in
both countries. Change in the scope of the regulationsThe
scope of the regulations will be clarified and will
be expanded to cover refrigerated storage cabinets (as
well as refrigerated display cabinets), subject to New
Zealand Cabinet approval.Change in the test method
used to measure energy performanceThe following
international test standards will be adopted into New
Zealand regulation from April 2019, with minor local
variations. These will replace the local test standard
that currently applies (Australian standard AS 1731

standards (MEPS)Adopt the European Commission’s
approach to calculating energy efficiency for refrigerated
commercial cabinets. This approach involves
designating refrigerated cabinet types into groups according
to their operating temperature and applying a
MEPS level to each group, irrespective of cabinet type.
These will replace the current requirements, which are
set out in the Australian standard AS 1731.14 Minimum
energy performance standard (MEPS) requirementsAdopt
the EU’s energy efficiency levels as New Zealand’s
and Australia’s MEPS levels from 1 December 2019:
Europe’s 2018 levels will apply for refrigerated storage
cabinetsEurope’s 2017 levels will apply for refrigerated
display cabinets.Make online energy rating information
available Online energy ratings will be made
available on the energy rating database (maintained
under the Equipment Energy Efficiency Program)
2. These will be automatically calculated using the
product information supplied during the registration
process, in order to minimise costs to industry. The ratings
will be based on the rating system used for the
European label but converted into a star-rating like
the one that appears on the energy rating label for numerous
appliances sold locally, and is familiar to New
Zealanders.’Deemed to comply’ requirements for lowvolume
manufacturers: Deemed to comply requirements
will create a simpler compliance pathway for
low-volume manufacturers, to minimise their compliance
costs and enable them to carry on competing in
the market. 1 i.e. modified from the version originally
presented for public consultation. The modifications
have been made in response to industry feedback on

Proposed enactment of the ‘Labelling Standards for
Cleansing & Hygiene Products’.
The purpose of establishment of ‘Labelling Standards
for Cleansing & Hygiene Products’ (‘the labelling standards’)
is to specify labelling requirements and methods
of Cleansing & Hygiene Products. The proposed
establishment of the labelling standards includes the
following provisions: 1. General Provisions provide definitions
of words used in the labelling standards and
stipulates items subject to labelling. 2. Common Labeling
Standard stipulates labelling method for Cleansing
& Hygiene Products. (a) On the main display panel,
the letters “Cleansing & Hygiene Products”, product
name, and weight shall be displayed.(b) On the information
panel, the company name and location, date of
manufacture, expiration date, ingredient name, type of
Cleansing & Hygiene Products, and cautions shall be
displayed.(c) Set forth text size requirements per different
labelling requirements. (d) Except for Cleansing &
Hygiene Products imported in package and bearing a
label contains the required information in Korea, those
available on the exporting countries’ markets shall carry
a label containing information in accordance with
relevant regulations of their own. Stickers, labels, tags
containing the required information in Korean shall be
affixed to imported Cleansing & Hygiene Products. 3.
Attachment 1 of the standards stipulates detailed labelling
requirements for Cleansing & Hygiene Products. 4.
Article 3 of the standards (Labeling Requirements and
Labelling Standards for Individual Item) stipulates labeling
requirements per the type of product.
