The Water Efficiency Labelling and Standard (WELS) scheme is an Australian Government urban water conservation program.[1] Its aim is to reduce demand for drinking water by informing consumers about water efficiency at the point of sale.
Products covered
[edit]The WELS scheme sets the water efficiency for the following products sold in Australia:
- Taps and showers
- Toilets and urinals
- Dishwashers and washing machines
- Flow controllers
These products must be registered for the Australian market and labelled with their water efficiency information when they are offered for sale.
The WELS label
[edit]
There are three parts to the label:
- The star rating at the top shows the water efficiency of the product. The more stars, the more water efficient.
- The water consumption rate in the middle shows the amount of water used.
- The company name and the WELS license number are at the bottom. This company is responsible for registering the product.
