Mandate to CEN, CENELEC and ETSI for Standardisation in the field of measurements of no-load condition electric power consumption and average active efficiency of external power supplies
General Information
Frequently Asked Questions
A European Standardization Mandate is a formal request from the European Commission to the European Standardization Organizations (CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI) to develop European standards (ENs) in support of EU legislation and policies. Mandates are issued under Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 and help ensure that products and services meet the essential requirements set out in EU directives and regulations.
M/450 is a European Standardization Mandate titled "Mandate to CEN, CENELEC and ETSI for Standardisation in the field of measurements of no-load condition electric power consumption and average active efficiency of external power supplies". Mandate to CEN, CENELEC and ETSI for Standardisation in the field of measurements of no-load condition electric power consumption and average active efficiency of external power supplies There are 2 standards developed under this mandate.
Standards developed in response to a mandate and cited in the Official Journal of the European Union become "harmonized standards". Products manufactured in compliance with harmonized standards benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the corresponding EU directive or regulation, facilitating CE marking and market access across the European Economic Area.
This European Standard specifies methods of measurement of electrical power consumption, and the reporting of results, for external power supplies. This standard is applicable to external power supplies with a rated input voltage within the range 100 V ac to 250 V ac having a single output with a rated output power not exceeding 250 W and a rated output voltage not exceeding 230 V a.c. or 325 V d.c. The output voltage may be either at a fixed voltage, or at a voltage which is user selectable, or at a voltage that is automatically selectable by the external power supply so as to be compatible with one or more product-loads.
