You will be required to comply with this standard if you intend to manufacture or supply a product to which the Water Efficiency Labelling Scheme applies (a WELS product). WELS products include:
- showers
- dishwashers
- clothes washing machines
- lavatory equipment
- urinal equipment
- tap equipment
- flow controllers.
These products must be registered for supply as a new product. This standard specifies requirements for the rating of products for water efficiency, and includes the associated registration, labelling and, where applicable, minimum performance requirements. It provides the basis for the star ratings and water consumption and flow displayed on the WELS label.
