Induction cooktop new product applications

The VEU has a pilot activity – Part 46 – Induction cooktop and freestanding combined induction cooking products.

Products under this activity must be listed on the department’s list of eligible products to qualify for this activity. 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 two tranches will accept submissions across the following dates:

  • Tranche 1 – Friday 31 January 2025 to Monday 17 February 2025
  • Tranche 2 – Thursday 1 May 2025 to Monday 19 May 2025.

To submit your product for assessment, please complete the “Part 46 New Product Application” spreadsheet and email it to energy.upgrades@deeca.vic.gov.au with all required supporting documentation.

Part 46 New Product Applications Spreadsheet

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:

  1. “Part 46 – new product application” spreadsheet
  2. Copy of (or screenshot) of EESS registration
  3. Copy of warranty
  4. Product manual (including technical details).

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.
