Greenhouse and Energy Minimum Standards Act 2012

The registrant (the old registrant) may apply to the GEMS Regulator to vary the model’s registration in relation to a product class to specify another person (the new registrant) as the registrant for the registration.

The application must be accompanied by the written consent of the new registrant.

For additional requirements relating to applications, see section 64.

Section 42 (application requirements for registration) applies in relation to the application as if a reference in that section to the applicant were a reference to the new registrant.

The GEMS Regulator must vary the registration in accordance with the application, unless subsection (5) or (6) applies.

For notice of decisions on applications under this Part, see section 67.

The GEMS Regulator must refuse to vary the registration if the GEMS Regulator is not satisfied that:

at least one of the following applies:

the new registrant manufactures the model;

the new registrant imports the model into Australia;

the new registrant has an appropriate connection to the supply of the model in Australia, determined in accordance with regulations made for the purposes of this paragraph (if any); or

the new registrant meets all other requirements specified in regulations made for the purposes of this paragraph (if any).

For paragraph (b), the regulations might require the person to be registered under a law of the Commonwealth in connection with carrying on business in Australia.

The GEMS Regulator may refuse to vary the registration if the GEMS Regulator is satisfied that there are grounds for refusing the application under section 66.
