Water efficiency labelling

Posted July 26th, 2007 by Dr James Pratt

Do you remember the ‘star ratings’ on white-wear electrical goods we buy nowadays? The more stars, the more energy efficient the goods are, and so the cheaper it is to run and the better it is for the environment.

Now, a similar scheme is in the pipeline for water-using appliances, including washing machines, dishwashers, taps, toilets, showerheads and urinals.

Water efficiency labelling based on accurate, comparable and relevant information will help those households and businesses who are taking up the sustainability challenge to make informed choices about their purchases.

The Ministry of Consumer Affairs has released a discussion paper called The Proposed Implementation of Mandatory Water Efficiency Labelling which looks at the issues surrounding putting efficiency labels on water equipment.

The proposed new regulations will apply to products manufactured or imported into New Zealand after 1 July 2008.

Please note that the closing date for submissions is 10 August 2007.
