58 Australian warranty records. Only 3 state labour or service cover without a condition.
Warranty years are easy to compare and easy to misunderstand. The current register reads the governing Australian instrument for 58 exact products, then keeps product term, labour, freight, registration, transfer and explicit unknowns as separate facts.
What the headline duration does not answer
-
01
Parts term
How long the voluntary product or parts promise runs, and when its clock starts.
-
02
Labour and service
24 records are conditional and 18 expressly exclude the relevant cost or service.
-
03
Transport and freight
13 records state cover and 35 make it conditional, often through caps, approved modes or selected remedies.
-
04
Registration
34 records make registration, connectivity, installer status or another documented step material to the recorded condition.
-
05
Transfer
24 records state a transfer pathway. Other records can be conditional, excluded or silent.
Wave 5 shows the publication gate working
The latest research pass reviewed 5 demand-priority products. 4 entered the register because the governing instrument expressly named the exact family. 1 remained outside it because a duration headline did not establish the Australian responsible entity, remedy, labour, freight, transfer and claim route.
That held product is not treated as having a bad warranty. It is treated as not yet having a complete, exact Australian conditions record. The distinction matters: evidence absence and product quality are different questions.
The conditions now travel with the decision
The structured fields are no longer confined to a methodology file. They appear in Compare, the Quote Check result and the Buyer Brief. A reader can match an exact model, see the current terms, and retain the unknowns before opening the complete source document.
Approval history remains separate. Approval Watch records reviewed changes in the Australian authority source; it does not turn a warranty condition into an approval claim or a global score change.
