Yes the MEPS information does provide a guide to what is in scope. http://www.energyrating.gov.au/eps2.html
A single output external power supply which is covered by MEPS is defined as a unit which: 1. has an input from mains supply (usually 110 V, 60 Hz; 230 V, 50 Hz; 240 V, 50 Hz or a range including some or all of these input conditions); and 2. has one ELV output (either a.c. or d.c.) that is either at a fixed voltage or user selectable through a selector switch; and 3. is sold with, or intended to be used with, a separate end-use product that constitutes the primary load; and 4. is contained in a separate physical enclosure from the end-use product (i.e. the housings of the power supply and its associated product are different, not their retail packaging); and 5. is connected to the end use product via a hard-wired or removable male/female electrical connection, cable, cord or other wiring; and 6. does not have batteries or battery packs that physically attach directly to the power supply unit (including those that are removable e.g. a battery pack for a portable electric drill); and 7. does not have a battery chemistry or type selector switch and an indicator light or state of charge meter.
