end-use product means the product powered by the external power supply.
EPS means an abbreviation of the words external power supply.
extra low voltage (ELV) means a voltage available at the output of a power supply that does not exceed 50 volts alternating current or 60 volts direct current between conductors, and between conductors and earth, when the power supply is supplied at the rated input voltage.
             Note:  This is the same meaning as in subclause 1.3.7 of AS/NZS 4665.1:2005.
IEC Standard means a standard that is published by, or on behalf of, the International Electrotechnical Commission.
      IEMP means the International Efficiency Marking Protocol for External Power Supplies, Version 3.0, September 2013.

      single output external power supply means an appliance that is designed to supply power to other appliances and that:
(a)          has an input from mains supply;
Note: This input is usually 110 volts, 60 hertz; 230 volts, 50 hertz; 240 volts, 50 hertz or a range including some or all of these input conditions.
(b)          has one extra low voltage output (either alternating current or direct current) that is either at a fixed voltage or a user selectable voltage through a selector switch;
(c)          is sold with, or intended to be used with, a separate end-use product that constitutes the primary load on the power supply;
Note:  These units are often used to power/re-charge laptop computers, mobile telephones, portable stereo units and other portable household devices. It is immaterial whether or not the power supply and end use product are packaged separately or together.
(d)          is contained in a separate physical enclosure from the end-use product;
Note: These units cannot be built into the equipment being powered and hence are 'external' to the device being powered. The housings of the EPS and its associated end use product are different. Designs covered include units with an integral mains plug, 'in-line' units and units with provision for equipment to sit in a cradle whilst being used.
(e)          is connected to the end-use product via a hard-wired or removable male/female electrical connection, cable, cord or other wiring;
(f)           does not have batteries, or battery packs, that physically attach directly to the power supply unit (either permanently or only for the purpose of charging); and
Note: This includes batteries that are removable from the power supply
