Hi to all,
a new RIS ( Regulatory Impact Statement ) has been published for External Power Supplies ( ie plug packs etc) by the Australian Greenhouse Office.
( Warning - it is 3.3 megabytes of impenetrable drivel )
The most significant change is in the definition of a " external power supply " which now no longer includes AC types.
So, in future expect to see a BIG increase in the use of AC adaptors ( with the rectifier & regulator circuitry included inside the product) supplied with electronic items.
Such AC adaptors have long proved to be totally reliable, safe and RFI ree - unlike the evil switching types that will now replace nearly all DC external supplies.
Funny how things work out - ain't it ?
