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."
