Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards (WELS)
WELS is
Australia's water efficiency labelling scheme that requires certain
products to be registered and labelled with their water efficiency
in accordance with the standard set under the national Water
Efficiency Labelling and Standards Act 2005.
The WELS scheme completed its fifth year
of operation in 2009-10. Consistent with the requirements of
section 76 of the Water Efficiency Labelling and
Standards Act 2005, an independent review of the
scheme's first five years of operation was undertaken. The review
was required to consider the appropriateness, effectiveness and
efficiency of the scheme and made recommendations for its
improvement.
