Lighting products such as LEDs and induction luminaires, must be accepted by the Scheme Administrator prior to creating energy savings certificates.
The product acceptance process varies depending on the calculation method (see Tables 1-3). Lighting products accepted for use under one calculation method are not all automatically accepted for use under other methods. But there is a streamlined application process for products accepted under the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program (see Table 4).
Conventional lighting technologies such as fluorescent, incandescent and halogen luminaires, must meet national Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) and electrical safety standards. These technologies do not require acceptance.
