EuP Standards Finder from Power Integrations for energy-efficiency requirements

A new EuP Standards Finder from Power Integrations, an online tool for power supplies that provides immediate access to specific requirements of the European Commission's EuP Ecodesign Directive. This tool eliminates the need to search through volumes of data to figure out what is relevant to them.

Power Integrations says that, the EuP Standards Finder allows to select an application from an A-to-Z listing and then immediately view the Tier One and Tier Two limits for standby, active-mode, and no-load power consumption. Links to relevant Power Integrations reference designs are also displayed in the search results. Commentary from energy-efficiency standards guru Mr. Green provides additional insight into how the Ecodesign Directive applies to the specified product.

Rich Fassler, manager of energy-efficiency programs at Power Integrations said "The Ecodesign Directive's power consumption limits will ultimately apply to hundreds of end products - from computers and external power supplies to set-top boxes and appliances. The standards are not necessarily organized by application, so figuring out how and when the standards apply to a specific end product can be challenging. Keeping up with changes in the standards further complicates the issue. With the EuP Standards Finder, Power Integrations has dramatically simplified the task of correlating the EC's requirements to specific end products. The designer can simply push a button and get all of the data needed to make an informed decision."
