(e) it is connected to the device that constitutes the primary load via a removable or hard-wired male/female electrical connection, cable, cord or other wiring;

(f) it has nameplate output power not exceeding 250 Watts;

(g) it is intended for use with electrical and electronic household and office equipment as referred to in Article 2(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1275/2008 or with computers as defined in Commission Regulation (EU) No 617/2013 ( 1 );

2. ‘low voltage external power supply’ means an external power supply with a nameplate output voltage of less than 6 volts and a nameplate output current greater than or equal to 550 milliamperes;

3. ‘halogen lighting converter’ means an external power supply used with extra low voltage tungsten halogen lamps;

4. ‘uninterruptible power supply’ means a device providing automatically backup power when the electrical power from the mains power source drops to an unacceptable voltage level;

5. ‘battery charger’ means a device which connects directly to a removable battery at its output interface;

6. ‘voltage converter’ means a device converting 230 V mains power source output to 110 V power output with characteristics similar to mains power source output characteristics;

7. ‘nameplate output power’ (PO) means the output power as specified by the manufacturer;

8. ‘no-load condition’ means the condition in which the input of an external power supply is connected to the mains power source, but the output is not connected to any primary load;

9. ‘active mode’ means a condition in which the input of an external power supply is connected to the mains power source and the output is connected to a load;

10. ‘active mode efficiency’ means the ratio of the power produced by an external power supply in active mode to the input power required to produce it;

11. ‘average active efficiency’ means the average of the active mode efficiencies at 25 %, 50 %, 75 % and 100 % of the nameplate output power.

1. The following second paragraph is added to Article 1:

2. The following point 9 is added to Article 2:

‘9. “low voltage external power supply” means an external power supply with a nameplate output voltage of less than 6 volts and a nameplate output current greater than or equal to 550 milliamperes.’

(a)  One year after this Regulation has come into force:

0,500 · PO, for PO < 1,0 W;

0,090 · ln(PO) + 0,500, for 1,0 W ≤ PO ≤ 51,0 W;

0,850, for PO > 51,0 W.

(b)  Two years after this Regulation has come into force:

The no-load condition power consumption shall not exceed the following limits:

The average active efficiency shall be not less than the following limits:

(1) The Member State authorities shall verify one single unit of the model.

(2) The model shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements if:

(a) the values given in the technical documentation pursuant to point 2 of Annex IV to Directive 2009/125/EC (declared values), and, where applicable, the values used to calculate these values, are not more favourable for the manufacturer or importer than the results of the corresponding measurements carried out pursuant to paragraph (g) thereof; and

(b) the declared values meet any requirements laid down in this Regulation, and any required product information published by the manufacturer or importer does not contain values that are more favourable for the manufacturer or importer than the declared values; and

(c) when the Member State authorities test the unit of the model, the determined values (the values of the relevant parameters as measured in testing and the values calculated from these measurements) comply with the respective verification tolerances as given in the table below.

(3) If the results referred to in point 2(a) or (b) are not achieved, the model shall be considered not to comply with this Regulation.

(4) If the result referred to in point 2(c) is not achieved, the Member State authorities shall select three additional units of the same model for testing.

(5) The model shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements if, for these three units, the arithmetical mean of the determined values complies with the respective verification tolerances given in the table below.

(6) If the result referred to in point 5 is not achieved, the model shall be considered not to comply with this Regulation.

(7) The Member State authorities shall provide all relevant information to the authorities of the other Member States and to the Commission without delay after a decision being taken on the non-compliance of the model according to points 3 and 6.
