Most plasma television sets are in danger of being banned from sale in Australia if a proposed energy-efficiency rating system is adopted.
A report commissioned by the Federal Government says there is a growing demand for plasma and LCD televisions, which use more power than traditional TV sets.
It says energy rating labels are needed to tell consumers about the performance of the TVs.
But under a proposed six-star rating system, most current plasma TVs do not meet the requirements and could be removed from sale.
The report also suggests "minimum energy performance standards" be introduced which would eliminate the worst performing TVs.
It would mean all current plasma TVs and many LCDs could be removed from sale by 2011
