Regulation Impact Statement – external power supplies
The Regulation Impact Statement (RIS) sets out options to improve the energy efficiency of external power supplies sold in Australia and New Zealand.
External power supplies connect an electrical device (such as a phone, laptop or tablet) to a power point to charge the device. They are often sold with the device with which they are to be used. As a result, consumers may be unaware or unable to choose the type of external power supply they are purchasing with a device.
The RIS looks at options to improve the energy efficiency of external power supplies sold in Australia and New Zealand. The options focus on harmonising with international standards, including expanding the scope of products covered.
