Simply put for Australia and NZ: Formal electrical safety approvals and approval marking is required in Australia and New Zealand. It is the Electrical Regulators in Australia and NZ who issue approvals. An approval issued in either country is accepted in both countries. Typically, compliance with IEC 60950-1 would ensure the device meets the approval requirements of either country. Obviously nothing is this simple but you get the idea.

From: emc-p...@ieee.org [mailto:emc-p...@ieee.org]On Behalf Of Bob Foster Sent: Thursday, 1 September 2005 2:06 AM To: emc-p...@ieee.org Subject: Power adapter country requirements Colleagues..... There was some recent discussions regarding power cubes. I have developed a new question. Does anyone know of a Web site that lists individual country requirements for power adapters (power adapter is a device that takes line voltage and converts down to a lower DC level), some may call it a power brick? As an example, Korea requires all power adapters to have the "EK" mark. Some countries have specific safety and marking requirements but others do not. It would be nice to have such a matrix. I am specifically interested in the Asia/Pacific and Latin/South America country requirements for power adapters.
