Regulation respecting the energy efficiency of electrical or hydrocarbon-fuelled appliances

1. An appliance listed in Schedule 1, whose manufacturing ends during the period determined in that Schedule, must comply with the energy performance requirement provided for each appliance in Schedule 1. The compliance of an appliance is tested and verified according to the applicable test procedure specified in Schedule 1 and according to any specification in Schedule 1. Where a standard listed in Schedule 1 states that it is based on or harmonized with another standard, the test procedure of the latter standard may be used to test and verify the compliance of the appliance.
