All 6 Documented Cases
Non-Compliant Product Liability & Recall Costs
Estimated AUD 10,000–50,000+ per recall event (product hold, customer notification, rework, logistics). De-registration penalties; reputational damage in ANZ market (mutual recognition: failures block NZ sales too).Lighting equipment recalls in Australia are governed by strict traceability requirements under the EESS. LED drivers and control gear classified as Level 3 (high-risk) items require full compliance documentation. Without automated traceability, manufacturers cannot quickly identify affected batches, leading to extended market holds, customer claims, and potential enforcement action.
Unregistered Electrical Equipment Supply Penalties
AUD 2,500 per unauthorized supply; plus de-registration from National Database (business suspension); plus liability for equipment-related incidentsWestern Australian regulations impose a maximum penalty of AUD 2,500 for selling, hiring, or advertising electrical appliances without appropriate compliance marks and Australian Certificate of Approval. This applies to all prescribed Level 3 high-risk electrical equipment, including LED drivers and lighting control gear.
Manual Compliance Documentation & Testing Bottleneck
Estimated AUD 5,000–12,000 annually (20–40 hours/month × AUD 75–100/hour blended cost) in manual compliance record management and retrievalTesting and certification for lighting products requires accredited laboratory assessment, followed by manual filing of compliance documentation. Manufacturers must keep synchronized records of design, manufacture, testing dates, and batch identifiers. Without integrated traceability, staff spend significant time retrieving and verifying compliance records during audit requests, customer due diligence, or regulatory inspections.
EU REACH Compliance Non-Disclosure Fines
AUD 10,000-50,000 (compliance costs); AUD 100,000+ (product recall/market access loss per incident)Companies must maintain detailed records of compliance assessments, material declarations, and test reports. Manual handling of supplier declarations and substance tracking across component supply chains creates gaps. Non-compliant exports face product recalls and EU market access loss.
