Hi All,

Here is some information that I have just received from Briggs and Stratton regarding the two stroke engines.


Environment and Energy regarding the Product Emissions Standards Rules 2017.

The notice below outlines the change and simply describes that retailers will be allowed to continue to sell non-compliant models for a further 12 months until 30th June 2020.

The Department of the Environment and Energy have advised that the Product Emissions Standards Rules 2017 have been amended to extend the commencement date of the offences relating to the supply of emissions-controlled products. This change will allow retailers an additional 12 months to sell remaining uncertified products, and the offences will now commence on 1 July 2020.

This one-off extension has been granted in response to concerns raised by industry regarding the impacts the drought is having on product demand. This extension will allow those experiencing difficulties more time to sell their remaining uncertified stock prior to the new commencement date.

The offences relating to the import of these products commenced on 1 July 2018 and are not affected by this change.

If you would like further information please email productemissions@environment.gov.au
