Introduction
The purpose of the Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards Act 2005 (the WELS Act) is to provide for the establishment and operation of a scheme to apply national water efficiency labelling and minimum performance standards to certain water-use products. The aim of water efficiency labelling is to encourage the uptake of water-efficient products and appliances in domestic and commercial areas while maintaining individual choice and accounting for regional variations in water supply.
The objects of the Act are to:
- Conserve water supplies by reducing water consumption;
- Provide information for purchasers of water-use products; and
- Promote the adoption of efficient and effective water-use technology.
