Before creating an application, you must:
You need to add at least one contact person before you can proceed. Authorising Officers will be able to change these details at any time.
Contact people are members of your organisation that you nominate to be contacted by the Energy Rating Team or an application’s Assessment Officer, if required.
We recommend that at least one of the contact people you add is based in Australia.

Any product you register must have a brand attached to it, and you will be prompted to select a brand when you fill out your application.

It is not mandatory for you to add a test laboratory or a manufacturer before you begin an application, but it will make the process easier for you if you do.
The test laboratory is the lab that conducted the tests on your product for energy efficiency.
When you complete your application, you will select the relevant test lab from the registration system.
If the lab is your own, independent lab, you will need to add it to the system before you can select it.

When you complete your application, you are required to specify at least one manufacturer for the product.

We strongly recommend that you complete all of these requirements before starting a product application, as it will make the application process a lot easier.
