CEI EN 50563 PDF

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 a.c. to 250 V a.c. 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.

NOTE 1 This document has been written in particular to support EC Regulation No 278/2009 for the measurement of noload condition electric power and average efficiency of active modes for external power supplies.

NOTE 2 This standard does not specify safety requirements for products nor safety precautions to be taken by those performing measurements. It does not specify minimum performance requirements, nor does it set maximum limits on power or energy consumption.
