WATER EFFICIENCY LABELLING AND STANDARDS ACT 2005 No. 4, 2005 - SECT 26

Applying for registration
(1)
The manufacturer of a WELS product may apply in writing to the Regulator for registration of the product.

Note 1: A WELS standard may require products to be registered for the purposes of specified supplies: see subsection 19(2). It is an offence to supply an unregistered product if the product is required to be registered for the purposes of the supply: see section 33.

However, WELS products can be registered even if registration is not required, but, once a product is registered, WELS-labelling requirements may apply: see subsection 19(4). It is an offence to supply a product that is not WELS-labelled if WELS-labelling requirements apply: see section 34.

Note 2: Part 7.4 of the Criminal Code provides offences in relation to false or misleading statements.

(2)
The regulations may prescribe circumstances in which a person who is not the manufacturer of a WELS product is taken to be the manufacturer of the product for the purposes of subsection (1) and paragraph 31(3)(b).
