Abstract

Specifies a test method for assessing the energy efficiency of external power supplies and includes information on the energy performance mark.

Scope

This Standard specifies a test method for calculating the energy efficiency of external power supply units (often known as ‘a.c. adaptors’, ‘plug packs’ or ‘power-packs’) with mains supply input (nominally 115 V a.c. or 230 V a.c.) and a single output at extra low voltage (ELV), either a.c. or d.c., and a maximum output of 250 W or 250 VA.
Internal power supplies and external power supplies with multiple, simultaneous output voltages are excluded from the scope of this Standard.
D.c. or battery powered equipment is excluded from the scope of this Standard.
The purpose of this Standard is to define a standardized test method to measure the efficiency of single voltage external power supplies across a defined range of load conditions.
Appendix A includes information on the energy performance mark.
