Marginal note:Definitions

• 586 (1) The following definitions apply in this Subdivision.

  CSA C381.1

  CSA C381.1 means the CSA standard CAN/CSA-C381.1-08 entitled Test method for calculating the energy efficiency of single-voltage external ac-ac and ac-ac power supplies. (CSA C381.1)

  detachable battery pack

  detachable battery pack means a battery that is encased in an enclosure separate from an end-use product and that is designed to be removed or disconnected from the end-use product for recharging. (bloc-batterie amovible)

  external power supply

  external power supply means a power supply device that

  • (a) is designed to convert line voltage AC into lower voltage DC or AC output;

  • (b) is able to convert to only one DC or AC output voltage at a time;

  • (c) is designed to be used with a household or office end-use product that constitutes the primary load;

  • (d) is encased in an enclosure separate from that end-use product and is connected to the end-use product by an electrical connection; and

  • (e) has a nominal output power of 250 W or less.

  It does not include a device that

  • (f) powers the charger of a detachable battery pack of an end-use product;

  • (g) charges the battery of an end-use product that is fully or primarily motor-operated;

  • (h) is an accessory to a medical device as defined in section 1 of the Medical Devices Regulations; or

  • (i) is power sourcing equipment as defined in the IEEE standard IEEE 802.3-2008 entitled Standard for Information Technology — Telecommunications and Information Exchange Between Systems — Specific Requirements Part 3. (bloc d’alimentation externe)

  replacement external power supply

  replacement external power supply means an external power supply that

  • (a) is marked as a replacement to be used with a specific end-use product that was manufactured before July 1, 2010; and

  • (b) is imported or shipped in quantities of fewer than 50 units. (bloc d’alimentation externe de remplacement)

  security external power supply

  security external power supply means an external power supply manufactured before July 1, 2017 that

  • (a) is designed to convert line voltage AC into lower voltage AC output;

  • (b) has a nominal output power of 20 W or more; and

  • (c) is designed for and marketed with equipment that operates continuously in on mode to perform any of the following principal functions:

    • (i) to monitor, detect, record or provide notification of any intrusion on real property or immovables, or access to real property or immovables or physical assets,

    • (ii) to provide notification of threats to personal safety resulting from an intrusion or access referred to in subparagraph (i),

    • (iii) to monitor, detect, record or provide notification of fire, gas, smoke, flooding or any other physical threats to real property or immovables, physical assets or personal safety, or

    • (iv) to deter or control access to real property or immovables or physical assets or prevent the unauthorized removal of physical assets.

  It includes an external power supply for equipment that is designed and marketed with a built-in alarm or theft-deterrent feature and whose principal functions are those referred to in paragraph (c). (bloc d’alimentation externe de sécurité)

  10 C.F.R. Appendix Z

  10 C.F.R. Appendix Z means Appendix Z to Subpart B, Part 430 of Title 10 to the United States Code of Federal Regulations, entitled Uniform Test Method for Measuring the Energy Consumption of External Power Supplies, as amended from time to time. (appendice Z 10 C.F.R.)

• Marginal note:Interpretation

  (2) In this Subdivision, certification body and verification mark have the same meaning as in section 2.
