Energy Efficiency Statement

Last updated: 12/02/2025

1. Introduction

The Groove Man is committed to ensuring that all imported energy-using devices comply with Australian energy efficiency regulations. Our products meet the requirements set by the Greenhouse and Energy Minimum Standards (GEMS) Act 2012, align with the Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS), and follow the Energy Rating Labelling Scheme. We also adhere to Queensland’s Energy Efficiency and Productivity Strategy and the National Energy Productivity Plan (NEPP).

2. Compliance with Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS)

MEPS regulations ensure that energy-using devices meet minimum efficiency thresholds before they can be sold in Australia. The Groove Man ensures that:

  • All applicable products comply with MEPS testing and certification requirements.
  • Energy efficiency performance is tested by accredited laboratories.
  • Devices are registered under the GEMS Regulator’s product database before being supplied to customers.
  • Compliance with Queensland’s Electrical Safety Act 2002 and relevant state energy efficiency policies.

3. Energy Labelling Requirements

To promote consumer awareness and energy savings, we ensure that:

  • All regulated devices display the Energy Rating Label, which provides information on energy consumption and efficiency.
  • Labels are affixed in accordance with GEMS regulations and state-specific labelling requirements.
  • Customers receive guidance on how to interpret energy efficiency ratings to make informed purchasing decisions.
  • Compliance with the National Australian Built Environment Rating System (NABERS) for relevant commercial energy assessments.

4. Product Categories Covered

Imported energy-using products subject to MEPS and energy labelling include:

  • Audio and electronic equipment with standby and operating power consumption.
  • Power supplies and chargers for consumer electronics.
  • Lighting products that meet lumens-per-watt efficiency standards.
  • Any additional products that fall under the GEMS determination framework.
  • Products covered under Queensland’s Renewable Energy Target and Demand Side Management Initiatives.

5. Supply Chain and Importer Responsibilities

To maintain compliance, The Groove Man works closely with manufacturers, suppliers, and importers to:

  • Source only MEPS-compliant products.
  • Verify that testing reports and compliance certificates are available for each regulated device.
  • Conduct periodic energy efficiency audits to ensure ongoing compliance.
  • Align with Queensland’s Climate Action Plan and the National Electricity Market (NEM) energy efficiency framework.

6. Commitment to Sustainability

The Groove Man recognises the importance of reducing energy consumption and is committed to:

  • Promoting high-efficiency products to lower electricity usage.
  • Encouraging manufacturers to exceed MEPS requirements where possible.
  • Educating consumers on energy-efficient practices when using electronic devices.
