The website listed as "Energy Star Program Requirements for Single Voltage External Ac-Dc and AC-AC Power Supplies, Version -2" ( <file:///\\www.energystar.gov\ia\partne s\prod_development\revisions\downloads\eps_prog_reqs_d1v2.pdf> www.energystar.gov/ia/partners/prod_dev lopment/revisions/downloads/eps_prog_reqs_d1v2.pdf) is no longer valid, and there are no apparent links to any "government Site". This listed Energy Star website appears to be totally voluntarily and not a federal requirement. Question: Does anyone know the actual date of the publication of this law in the Federal Register, the scope of Actual Law as passed, and the real requirements of the law ??? I have not been able to locate the actual law and determine it's specific requirements or applicability to what classes of devices it is applied to (i.e.: consumer only - or does it apply to laboratory and industrial equipment also) A Google search turned up about 200K items but no actual reference to a real law. Does anyone out there know if this is real or another bogus Blog by EDN. All responses are gratefully acknowledged in advance.
