Richard, If by AC Adapter you mean a "plug-pack" stand-alone SELV type power supply (i.e. an "Extra-Low Voltage Power Supply Unit") then it is a "Declared Article" and requires electrical approval (by one of the Australian State Electricity Authorities etc).
I notice you picked up on "for business use only". Although the "Declared Articles" listing does say that such devices only fall under the Declared Articles listing if they are of a "household type", the Electricity Authorities consider all such devices can be of a "household type" unless they have a very unique means of connection between the AC Adapter and the equipment it supplies (i.e. most have relatively common means of connection enabling them to be used to power many other types of equipment, including household type equipment. My advice is - approval required Richard.

Is the AC Adapter for this particular application considered to be "declared" and thus subject to safety approval?
