Department of Environment Australian Governm : Working towards Australian emission standards for non-road spark ignition engines and equipment – Update paper

The Australian Government is working to introduce national emission standards for non-road spark ignition engines and equipment (NRSIEE), such as garden equipment, generators, pumps and marine engines. By regulating the import and supply of high-emitting NRSIEE in Australia, air pollution from these products will be reduced and significant health benefits will be realised.

The Update Paper provides an update on how the new emission standards will be implemented, including their linkage to international standards, when they are likely to come into force, which NRSIEE products they will apply to and what requirements will be placed on importers and suppliers of these products to the Australian market.

The paper also aims to raise awareness of the incoming emission standards so that businesses and individuals can be prepared when they come into effect. This includes suppliers who will need to ensure they are sourcing compliant models.

You can get further information about the new emission standards by writing to the Department of the Environment and Energy. Contact details are provided at the end of the Update Paper.
