RE: MEPS requirements for Australia/New Zealand

2008-11-18 Thread Kevin Richardson 
Others have already provided you with links to the Australian government sites
providing all the information you should need so I will not add to that.
 
I would however, just draw your attention to the statement in the 'Fact Sheet'
(i.e. www.energyrating.gov.au/library/pubs/2008-factsheet-eps.pdf
<http://www.energyrating.gov.au/library/pubs/2008-factsheet-eps.pdf> )
concerning proposed amendments to AS/NZS 4665 Parts 1 & 2 which the Fact Sheet
states are currently in the approval process (see in particular the statement
at the bottom of page 2 of the Fact Sheet).  These amendments, as described on
pages 3 & 4 of the Fact Sheet, are not actually in the 'approval process'
really.  They are actually still to be balloted by the relevant Australian
standards committee however, the information provided concerning what these
amendments are likely to ultimately contain probably will not change too much
before they are accepted.
 
The background and reason for these amendments can be found at
http://www.energyrating.gov.au/pubs/2008-meps-eps-update.pdf
<http://www.energyrating.gov.au/pubs/2008-meps-eps-update.pdf> .  You may have
already seen this information however, as a link to it was provided in one of
the URLs already provided to you  in an earlier reply (i.e.
http://www.energyrating.gov.au/eps2.html
<http://www.energyrating.gov.au/eps2.html> ).

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.
