External Power Supplies (EPS)

Draft Commission Regulation laying down ecodesign requirements for external power supplies pursuant to Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Commission Regulation (EC) No 278/2009 (6 pages + Annexes 7 pages, in English)

This draft Commission Regulation sets requirements regarding the energy performance (maximum no-load consumption and minimum average active efficiency) and information requirements for external power supplies. In accordance with Ecodesign Directive 2009/125/EC, products not meeting these requirements will not be allowed to be placed on the EU market. The draft Regulation is based on the findings of a technical, environmental and economic study which has been carried out in consultation with stakeholders. The measures proposed were the object of an impact assessment. The draft Regulation repeals Commission Regulation (EC) No 278/2009 with regard to ecodesign requirements for no-load condition electric power consumption and average active efficiency of external power supplies.
