The department will offer two separate tranches for stakeholders, including accredited providers, retailers, and product manufacturers, to submit a request for a new induction cooktop to be added to the approved product list.
Once each tranche has closed, the department will assess each application and provide further information on the approval process.
The 2 tranches will accept submissions across the following dates:
To submit your product for assessment, please complete the Part 46 New Product Application spreadsheet listed below and email it to energy.upgrades@deeca.vic.gov.au with all required supporting documentation.
Please label the email as follows:
Subject line: Part 46 – new product application – tranche # (1 or 2)
Mandatory information required with each new product application:
Please check that the files attached to your email application do not exceed 25MB in total size. This will ensure that your email is able to be sent successfully to the department.
If your email containing your application is successfully submitted, you will receive an email from the department confirming the receipt of your application.
The department will advise each applicant on the outcome of their new product application once the corresponding tranche has closed, and the applications have been assessed.
Please note that submission of your product does not mean automatic approval to the product list. The department will review each product application and consider whether products may be added to the product list.
