MEPS - External Power Supplies
External power supply,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 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
an indirect operation external power supply that has a nominal output power of greater than 250 W
a device that powers the charger of a detachable battery pack of an end-use product
a device that is an accessory to a medical device or
a device that is solely designed to power solid-state lighting or a ceiling fan that has a direct current motor
Replacement external power supply, 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
Security external power supply, an external power supply manufactured before July 1, 2017 that
is designed to convert line voltage AC into lower voltage AC output
has a nominal output power of 20 W or more and
is designed for and marketed with equipment that operates continuously in on mode to perform any of the following principal functions:
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
to provide notification of threats to personal safety resulting from an intrusion or access referred to above
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
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 above
