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

  adaptive external power supply

  adaptive external power supply means an external power supply that, without user intervention and while it is connected to mains power and each output is connected to a load, can alter the output voltage using a digital communication protocol with the end-use product. (bloc d’alimentation externe adaptatif)

  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)

  CSA C381.1-17

  CSA C381.1-17 means the CSA standard CAN/CSA C381.1-17 entitled Energy performance of external ac-dc and ac-ac power supplies. (CSA C381.1-17)

  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)

  direct operation external power supply

  direct operation external power supply means a power supply device that is capable of operating an end-use product, other than a battery charger, without the assistance of a battery. (bloc d’alimentation externe à fonctionnement direct)

  external power supply

  external power supply means a single-voltage external power supply or a multiple-voltage external power supply that is designed to be used with a household or office end-use product that constitutes the primary load. It does not include

  • (a) a direct operation external power supply that has a nominal output voltage of less than 3 V and a nominal output current of 1 000 mA or more and that charges the battery of an end-use product that is fully or primarily motor-operated;

  • (b) an indirect operation external power supply that has a nominal output power of greater than 250 W;

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

  • (d) a device that is an accessory to a medical device; or

  • (e) a device that is solely designed to power solid-state lighting or a ceiling fan that has a direct current motor. (bloc d’alimentation externe)

  indirect operation external power supply

  indirect operation external power supply means a power supply device that can only operate an end-use product with the assistance of a battery. (bloc d’alimentation externe à fonctionnement indirect)

  multiple-voltage external power supply

  multiple-voltage external power supply means a device that is designed to convert line voltage AC input into more than one simultaneous lower voltage AC or DC outputs. (bloc d’alimentation externe à tensions multiples)

  replacement external power supply

  replacement external power supply means an external power supply that is marked as a replacement to be used with a specific end-use product that was manufactured before July 1, 2017. (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)

  single-voltage external power supply

  single-voltage external power supply means a device that is designed to convert line voltage AC input into only one lower AC or DC voltage output at a time. (bloc d’alimentation externe à simple tension)

  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.)

  10 C.F.R. §430.32(w)(1)(i)

  10 C.F.R. §430.32(w)(1)(i) means the table to paragraph 430.32(w)(1)(i) of Subpart C, Part 430 of Title 10 to the United States Code of Federal Regulations, as amended from time to time. (10 C.F.R. §430.32(w)(1)(i))

  verification mark

  verification mark has the same meaning as in section 2. (marque de vérification)
