Label Screen
After you have completed your product-specific application pages,
you will come to the Label page.
Not all appliance types require you to provide an Energy Rating Label
with your application for a registration. Please check the
Energy Rating website
and the relevant product standard for information about
labelling and how to comply with the relevant legislation.
When it comes to providing an Energy Rating Label, you have three options:
-
You can create and upload your own Energy Rating Label;
-
The system can generate a label for you based on the information
you provide in your application.
-
If you are registering a labelled Air Conditioner, the system will
generate a Zoned Energy Rating Label (ZERL) for you based on the
information you provide in your application. You cannot manually
create and upload your own ZERL.
Please refer to the instructions below for more information.

Generate an Energy Rating Label (for all labelled products except Air Conditioners)
The Registration System can now generate an Energy Rating Label on the registrant’s
behalf for all labelled products. Please refer to the instructions below on how to
generate an Energy Rating Label.
Please note that Air Conditioners have a different label called the Zoned Energy Rating
Label. Please scroll down to the next section for information on generating a Zoned
Energy Rating Label.
To generate an Energy Rating Label:

details. The system will not allow you to generate a label until all correct
information is provided.
