20130506 Safety Information
In mid-April 2013, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has released a new U.S. Federal Register
Notice, issued in March 2012 related to the external power supply (EPS) and battery charger (BC)
proposed rulemaking pre-notice "(NOPR). Although many stakeholders've always wanted to make
a final decision, but the DOE has recently issued a notice is a letter of inquiry (RFI) on the proposed
level of efficiency.
RFI because the California Energy Commission (CEC) has adopted the state's own battery charger
efficiency standards, and the standard was to take effect in February this year. Therefore, DOE
would now manufacturers to consult the information it has obtained the California Standards certified
battery charger and test data to determine the need to amend the technical analysis. If DOE found not
take into account any new information in March 2012 NOPR, it may decide to amend the technical
analysis to determine whether you need to present alternative energy efficiency standards. Then,
DOE may issue an addendum to the proposed rules of the development of pre-notification (NOPR),
to enable stakeholders to have the opportunity to comment.
The DOE seek information and review some of these issues include:
• used by the manufacturer to meet CEC standard product design and technology.
• Manufacturer product costs to meet the new standards (if any), including engineering, design
and manufacturing.
• unable to meet the new standards no longer any of the products sold in California
