5.2 Equipment requirements

There are a number of requirements that an ACP must meet to be eligible to create ESCs from the delivery of a RESA at a site (implementation). Your business processes and systems, including your record keeping arrangements must accommodate these requirements for you to successfully operate as an ACP.

You are responsible for ensuring each implementation meets the equipment requirements for the activity being performed.

ACPs installing Emerging Lighting Technologies (ELTs)

You must ensure that the lighting equipment you install has been accepted by the Scheme Administrator before creating any ESCs from each implementation.
  • There is a separate application process for ELTs to be accepted by the Scheme Administrator. This process requires you to provide evidence that each product meets the equipment requirements - eg, Laboratory test reports.
  • There are different requirements for equipment under the different methods (Commercial Lighting, HEER, MBM and PIAM&V).
  • A list of equipment already accepted by the Scheme Administrator under each method is available on the ESS Website.
