2、volts 60 Hz and 230 volts 50 Hz were specifically selected during test procedure development in order to balance the need to reflect the multiple combinations of voltage and frequency found in global markets with a desire to minimize the testing burden for participating manufacturers. The 115 volts

3、60 Hz combination was selected because the United States provides a nominal voltage of 120 volts and Japan provides 110 volts. The other test point is specified at 230 volts 50 Hz because 230 volts represents the average between the voltages used by Europe (240 volts and the United Kingdom and China

4、 (both at 220 volts. Recently, one stakeholder has suggested to EPA that manufacturers have the option of voluntarily providing additional measurement data at 100 volts 50/60 Hz if destined for the Japanese marketplace. ENERGY STAR qualification would still be determined based on the guidelines prov

5、ided in Section 4.C above (i.e., models could not qualify based solely on test data at 100 volts 50/60 Hz. EPA is willing to consider input from industry on this proposal, but would need to see evidence that the benefits outweigh the additional administrative costs for both EPA and its partners. D.

6、Multiple Tap or Switch Selectable Models: Manufacturers shall test a multiple tap or switch selectable model at the highest and the lowest voltage outputs of the power supply. If the model meets or exceeds the ENERGY STAR requirements at both the highest and the lowest voltage outputs, then it quali

7、fies as ENERGY STAR. E. Submittal of Qualified Product Data to EPA: Partners are required to self-certify those product models that meet the ENERGY STAR guidelines and report information to EPA. ENERGY STAR qualifying product lists, including information about new models as well as notification of d

8、iscontinued models, must be provided on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if desired by the manufacturer. If no new models are introduced during a particular quarter, manufacturer should notify EPA to ensure its partnership status is maintained. 5 Effective Date: The date that manufacturers may

9、begin to qualify and promote products as ENERGY STAR will be defined as the effective date of the agreement. The ENERGY STAR single voltage external ac-ac and ac-dc power supplies (Version 2.0 effective date is July 1, 2008. Note: EPA is proposing that the EPS Version 2.0 specification take effect f

10、or EPS manufacturers on July 1, 2008. After this specification takes effect, all EPSs marketed as ENERGY STAR must meet the Version 2.0 levels. Revisions to the EPS specification will have implications for ENERGY STAR specifications for several electronic product categories (i.e., computers, monitor

11、s, imaging, televisions, telephony, set-top boxes, and audio/DVD. EPA is committed to advancing power supply efficiency in all products as quickly as is reasonable. Please refer to EPA's letter dated October 11, 2007, which accompanies this draft specification, for details. 6 Future Specificatio

12、n Revisions: EPA reserves the right to change the specification should technological and/or market changes affect its usefulness to consumers, industry, or the environment. In keeping with current policy, revisions to the specification are arrived at through stakeholder discussions. In the event of

13、a specification revision, please note that ENERGY STAR qualification is not automatically granted for the life of a product model. To qualify as ENERGY STAR, a product model must meet the ENERGY STAR specification in effect on the model's date of manufacture. The date of manufacture is specific

14、to each unit and is the date on which a unit is considered to be completely assembled. 7 International Efficiency Marking Protocol: ENERGY STAR partners shall follow the international efficiency marking protocol to indicate the energy performance of their ENERGY STAR qualified power supplies. (See F

15、igure 1 for an illustration of the international efficiency mark. In addition, the efficiency level, as denoted by a Roman numeral under the protocol, shall be reported to EPA as part of the qualified product data submission process. Further information about the endorsers of the marking protocol an

Partners shall determine the appropriate Roman numeral by: 1 comparing the unit's Active and No-Load test data (when tested in accordance with the ENERGY STAR Test Method and at each relevant test voltage and frequency value with the performance requirements at each leve
