Ahead of mandated MEPS3 levels commencing, do stakeholders support proposed provisions to allow the registration of MEPS3-compliant products using the IEC test method and the new algorithm. Do stakeholders support proposed changes to the ERL design? If not then please outline what would be a preferable design. Do stakeholders agree with the proposed timing for the introduction of MEPS3? If not, please advise of alternative timing with detailed, supporting rationale. Table 34 provides a summary of public submissions that are accessible online on the website.
