What are the new ecodesign requirements for external power supplies?

The draft Commission Regulation proposes new ecodesign requirements for External Power Supplies (EPS), Battery Chargers for portable batteries, Wireless Chargers, Wireless Charging Pads, and USB Type-C cables. 1. Extending the scope - Wireless Chargers and Battery Chargers for portable batteries, as per Regulation (EU) 2023/1542. 2.

Do external power supplies have a power efficiency mandate?

At a global level, mandates for power efficiency exist for most consumer electronics and home appliances. External power supplies have had regulations dating back to 2004, when the California Energy Commission created one of the first mandates for efficiency of external power supplies used to power appliances or consumer electronic devices.

What are the labeling requirements for external power supplies?

Labeling requirements will be mandated to meet the same International Eficiency Marking Protocol for External Power Supplies Version 3.0 as the previous Level V standard. Globally, it is expected that other nations will soon follow suit with the DoE Level VI standard.

Do all external power supplies meet eficiency levels?

While many countries are establishing voluntary programs harmonized to the international eficiency marking protocol system first established by Energy Star, the following countries and regions now have regulations in place mandating that all external power supplies shipped across their borders meet the specified eficiency level:

Can external power supply eficiency regulations reduce energy consumption?

The EPA estimates that external power supply eficiency regulations implemented over the past decade have reduced energy consumption by 32 billion kilowatts, saving $2.5 billion annually and reducing CO2 emissions by more than 24 million tons per year.

What is a low voltage external power supply?

2Low-Voltage External Power Supply: An external power supply with a nameplate output voltage less than 6 volts and nameplate output current greater than or equal to 550 milliamps. Basic-voltage external power supply means an external power supply that is not a low-voltage power supply.
