RE: Effect of a universal power connector on Energy Star and EPEAT compliance
QUESTIONS:
* Will UPAMD take a position at all on efficiency requirements?
My suggestion is no as there are already a lot of group addressing this issue
.
* Does UPAMD expect to provide a spec that will at least be neutral with
respect to Energy Star certification?
My suggest is also no for any reference to Energy Star certification.

Subject: Effect of a universal power connector on Energy Star and EPEAT
compliance
Hello:
In a recent Energy Star update, the group decided to avoid inclusion of any
regulation for multi-output power adapters. They did so, primarily because
it was too difficult to compare apples to apples. While the testing
procedure for a single voltage output external power adapter is well defined,
testing a multi-voltage output and potentially multi-port power adapter is
not so easily defined.
While the UPAMD focus is on a universal connector, is it possible that a
universal connector could have an impact on the ability of the power adapter
to meet Energy Star compliance?
QUESTIONS:
* Will UPAMD take a position at all on efficiency requirements?
* Does UPAMD expect to provide a spec that will at least be neutral with
respect to Energy Star certification?
