Upgrading A Household Refrigerator Freezer Registration
If you are a registrant with household refrigerator freezers registered
under the 2012 Determination, you can choose to upgrade your 2012
registrations to the 2019 Determination.
When you choose to upgrade an existing registration, the new upgrade
application will be predominantly pre-filled with information from the
existing registration. However, as the 2019 Determination asks for
additional information, you will be required to answer additional
questions, as well as provide an updated test report.
There is a fee of $210 per upgrade application, as the application will
still need to be assessed by the Regulator before it is approved.
The upgraded registration will be valid for the remainder of the
registration period for the original registration; it will not receive
an additional five years registration.
Please note that this upgrade facility is only available for products
registered in Australia.
To upgrade an existing 2012 registration:
-
Go to the Overview page of the existing registration.
-
Select ‘Upgrade Test Standard’ from the Actions box on the right
hand side of the page, as shown in Figure 1 below.

create an upgrade registration, as shown in Figure 2 below. Select
the ‘Confirm’ button.

-
A new application appears, as shown in Figure 4 below, with all of the
information from the previous application carried across, with the
exception of the test report. Review each page of the application and
provide the additional information where requested.
The system will automatically upgrade the application to the appropriate
Determination on the Registration Type page, but we recommend that you
review that the correct Determination has been selected.

-
On the Labs & Test Results page, upload the new test report that supports
the new information you are entering.
-
Continue reviewing the application and providing the additional information
where required.
-
On the Payment page, pay the $210 fee through the online payment portal.
-
If there are no issues with the application, it should automatically
be submitted to the Regulator by the system after you have completed
your payment.
If this does not happen, return to your application and
check it for any issues or messages and then manually select ‘Submit’
on the Summary and Submission page.
-
The upgrade application will then be reviewed by an Assessor and approved
if all requirements are met. You will receive an automated email from the
system, indicating if your application has been approved or if further
information is required.
