Energy Efficiency Regulations, 2016

Version of section 588 from 2016-12-09 to 2017-06-27:

The following provision is not in force.

Marginal note:Energy efficiency standard

  •  (1) The energy efficiency standard that applies to an external power supply is the following:

    • (a) the minimum average efficiency of the product, at its highest and lowest nominal output power settings, must be equal to

      • (i) if the nominal output power is less than 1 W, 0.5 × that power,

      • (ii) if the nominal output power is at least 1 W but less than or equal to 51 W, 0.09 × ln (the nominal output power) + 0.5, or

      • (iii) if the nominal output power is more than 51 W, 0.85; and

    • (b) if the product is not a security external power supply, the no-load power must be less than or equal to 0.5 W.

  • Marginal note:Testing standard

    (2) An external power supply complies with the energy efficiency standard if it meets that standard when tested in accordance with testing procedures established by CSA C381.1 or 10 C.F.R. Appendix Z that are applicable to an external power supply as defined in subsection 586(1).
