WATER EFFICIENCY LABELLING AND STANDARDS (WELS) PRODUCTSWELS

WELS is Australia's water efficiency labelling Scheme that requires certain products to be registered and labelled with their water efficiency in accordance with the standard set under the national Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards Act 2005.

The WELS Scheme excludes second-hand products and products imported into Australia for personal use.

All WELS products must be registered, rated and labelled according the requirements of the WELS Standard AS/NZS6400:2005 Water-efficient products-Rating and labelling.

The WELS Standard is cross-referenced to the performance requirements of other product standards and technical specifications.

The water-using WELS products are:
