If a Standard is referenced in legislation, the legislative instrument or regulation specifies the date on which the Standard comes into effect. Refer to the relevant regulatory authority for further information on the date of application of this document. Major changes in this edition include: @ Adjustments to the scope: @ Increased range of lamps to be covered by the standard, with the scope defined by cap (base) type and voltage. (ii) Updated exclusions in the standard. For example, lamps that are specified for aircraft and aircraft navigation are excluded (based on their requirement to adhere to another standard) as more efficient alternatives are not available. (ili) Where there is not currently a suitable, efficient replacement, but this is anticipated in the future, for example for G9 capsule lamps, the scope may be expanded at later date. Many specialist lamps have voltages or caps that are outside of the scope of this document, (b) Inclusion of guidance on a test report format, © Removal of exclusions for the following: @ Automotive lights, as these products are not within scope. (ii) Lamps intended for traffic signals, as halogen and incandescent versions are no longer supplied, and many of these lights have been converted to LEDs or have caps outside the scope of this document. (iil) Lamps intended for sea navigation — as those within scope are either replaceable with LED lamps or can be registered as extra low voltage (11 V to 13 V).. (iv) Reinforced construction (rough use or vibration lamps), as they are replaceable by LED lamps. w) Coloured and crown reflector lamps, as they are replaceable by LED lamps. @) Increased minimum efficacy level for mains voltage incandescent lamps within scope which is intended to phase-out the supply of these products. © Revised scope for 11 V to 13 V halogen lamps which continue to be subject to a minimum efficacy level which the more efficient models within scope can achieve. Suppliers will need to register these lamps for supply in Australia and meet the MEPS specified (see Appendix B). NOTE 1 The exclusion of high temperature lamps (see Clause 1.1.3.2) is intended to ensure lamps are available for use in ovens and wood drying kilns. The exclusion of infrared heat lamps (see Clause 1.1.3.5) is intended to also ensure lamps used for heating for animals remain available. © Standards Australia Limited 2021ii AS 4934.2:2021 NOTE 2 The GEMS Act allows suppliers to request an exemption from the GEMS regulator for specific models, when the determination comes into effect. For example, a supplier may apply for an exemption where an efficient replacement is unavailable or unsuitable. In some cases, it has been impractical to define a specific exclusion to the scope of this document that could be applied under the GEMS Act. Suppliers of the following lamps, in cases where more efficient lamps are not available, may need to apply for an exemption for specific models within scope: reference lamps used in photometric laboratories, some lamps used in medical and scientific equipment, lamps for specific industries or conditions, and lamps used in lava lamps. The GEMS regulator is responsible for deciding to grant exemptions. Applications are considered on their merits by the GEMS regulator against the criteria under the GEMS Act. Information on how to apply for an exemption under the GEMS Act can be found at: |ttps://www.energyrating.gov.au/document/form-application-exemption. ‘The term “normative” is used in Standards to define the application of the appendix to which it applies.
