Consultation RIS - MEPS and Alternative Strategies for External Power Supplies (2.1 MB)
If you are unable to access this document, please contact the Australian Greenhouse Office to organise a suitable alternative format.
This report was prepared in February 2007 by Punchline Energy, for the Equipment Energy Efficiency Committee (E3 Committee).
This is the regulatory impact statement for the introduction of Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) for external power supplies (EPS) as typically imported and sold in Australia and New Zealand. This includes importation of external power supplies by themselves and importation as part of a product package.
It is important to note that this document applies to external power supplies only, not the myriad of appliances and products with which they are used.
In 2004 the Australian Greenhouse Office entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the US EPA Energy Star Program, California Electricity Commission and China Certification Center for Energy Conservation Products (CECP) to agree upon harmonized test methods and energy performance marking of external power supplies. This document is based upon the agreed harmonized test methods and energy performance marking.
