TITLE:  Energy Conservation Program for Certain Consumer Appliances:  Test Procedures for Battery Chargers and External Power Supplies

AGENCY:  Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (OEERE), Department of Energy (DOE)

ACTION:  Final rule

SUMMARY:  The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is amending its test procedures for battery chargers and external power supplies.  In particular, DOE is inserting a new active mode energy consumption test procedure for battery chargers, which is necessary to develop energy conservation standards for battery chargers as mandated by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA 2007).  DOE is also amending portions of its existing standby and off mode battery charger test procedure by decreasing the required testing time.  Further, DOE is amending its active mode single-voltage external power supply test procedure to permit the testing of certain types of external power supplies.  Finally, DOE is inserting a new procedure to address multiple-voltage external power supplies, which are not covered under the current single-voltage external power supply test procedure.

DATES:  This rule is effective 1 July 2011. After 28 November 2011, manufacturers may not make any representation regarding battery charger or external power supply energy consumption or efficiency unless such battery charger or external power supply has been tested in accordance with the final rule provisions in appendix Y (for battery chargers) and appendix Z (for external power supplies).
