Why this market is different
In most markets a plain mechanical shower head clears customs as ordinary goods. Australia and New Zealand add a national scheme: WaterMark certification for plumbing products sold for installation, and the WELS rating that labels water efficiency. Whether a specific product needs WaterMark depends on how it is sold and installed, so the importer's channel decides; the factory prepares the product and the evidence either way.
Specifying flow for WELS
WELS rates flow, and flow depends on pressure, so the specification starts with a target flow at a stated pressure. ZHONGHE tests selected specifications at 0.3MPa in-house and has measured about 50-70% lower flow on water-saving specs than on standard heads. The nozzle plate and restrictor are chosen to hit the target, samples are verified, and scheme testing is arranged with a third-party lab per project.
Fitment and paperwork
G1/2 is accepted directly, so hand showers and hoses fit without conversion; adapters cover legacy fittings. Component reports for plastics and plating, flow data, and lab arrangements for WaterMark are supplied per project. The importer holds final conformity, and the factory's documents are prepared around that.
