Appliance Battery Charging SystemsAppliance Battery Charging Systems
This regulation establishes energy This regulation establishes energy efficiency requirements for appliance efficiency requirements for appliance battery charging systemsbattery charging systems
Appliance = a product where the primary Appliance = a product where the primary output is mechanical motion, light, the output is mechanical motion, light, the movement of air, or production of heat, but movement of air, or production of heat, but excluding products for the transportation excluding products for the transportation or conveyance of people or cargo.or conveyance of people or cargo.

ScopeScope Our products include integral and detachable Our products include integral and detachable
batteries: batteries: Integral—battery is not removable and charged within Integral—battery is not removable and charged within
the appliance (e.g. cordless shaver, some power the appliance (e.g. cordless shaver, some power tools)tools)
Detachable—battery is a separate entity and is Detachable—battery is a separate entity and is removed from the appliance for charging. (e.g. power removed from the appliance for charging. (e.g. power tool with battery packtool with battery pack
We do not include batteries charged in the We do not include batteries charged in the product that may be removed with the power product that may be removed with the power source connectedsource connected We call “swappable” (e.g. laptop, cell phone)We call “swappable” (e.g. laptop, cell phone)

CEC has stated that BCS’s regulated by CEC has stated that BCS’s regulated by this standard would not also be regulated this standard would not also be regulated as EPS’sas EPS’s

The effects of this scope definition The effects of this scope definition is to: is to:
Integral and Detachable are included as Integral and Detachable are included as appliance BCS’sappliance BCS’s Therefore adapters would NOT be regulated Therefore adapters would NOT be regulated
as EPSas EPS Adapter efficiency measured as part of Adapter efficiency measured as part of
system efficiencysystem efficiency ““Swappable” are not includedSwappable” are not included
The adaptors for a “swappable” product could The adaptors for a “swappable” product could be covered by the EPS regulationsbe covered by the EPS regulations
