How we approve products and set standards

Temporary disruption to VEU submissions of activities, applications and updates: 9 May to 2 June 2025

The launch of a new Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) Registry on 3 June 2025 to support the VEU program and participants is fast approaching.

The cut-off date to submit new product applications in the current VEU Registry is midday on 23 May 2025, before we transition to the new system.

Please review other key cut-off dates to submit activities, applications or updates in the current system before we transition to the new system on 3 June.

Register of Products

We maintain a register of energy saving products that are eligible to be installed under the VEU program, and for which Victorian energy efficiency certificates (VEECs) may be created.

To protect consumers and ensure products deliver genuine energy and cost savings, we have strong standards and processes for products approved for listing on the VEU Register of Products and installation under the VEU program.

To be listed on our VEU Register of Products, a product must meet the following performance requirements:

• the criteria listed in the VEET Regulations
• the minimum efficiency requirements specified in the VEU specifications.

These requirements also provide assurance for accredited persons installing products and ensures a more efficient process for registering VEECs following installation. 

All products can be installed before being listed on our Register of Products, but must be listed at time of VEEC creation. Accredited persons who install products not yet listed on the VEU Register of Products do so at their own risk. 

Approving products

Once a product approval application has been lodged, we review the information provided in the application.

We approve products that, based on the documentation submitted, we deem to meet the criteria set in the VEET Regulations and the VEU specifications.
