Hi Pat
My understanding is that the requirements are that of below: Maximum consumed power outside of the charging mode ≤ 0,5 W For 0 W ≤ Np ≤ 10 W ≤ 0,75 W For 10 W ≤ Np ≤ 250 W Efficiency value required in charging mode ≥ 0,49 * Np For Np < 1 W; ≥ 0,09 * ln(Np) + 0,49 For 1 W ≤ Np ≤ 49,0 W; ≥ 0,84 For Np > 49 W requirements are similar to International Efficiency Marking Protocol “III” Do need to include declaration of conformity providing information on the manufacturer or authorized dealer in Switzerland. The Ordinance requires for each product that a declaration of conformity be issued by the manufacturer. This declaration of conformity must include the following information: The name and address of the manufacturer or its representative in Switzerland; A description of the appliance; A declaration that the appliance complies with the requirements set out in the Ordinance; and The name and address of the person signing the declaration of conformity for the manufacturer or its representative registered in Switzerland.

Hi, I've heard a rumour that Switzerland is implementing EC 278/2009 (no-load power & average efficiency) a few months ahead of time in December 2009, not at the date listed in the IM (April 2010). Additionally, they will not allow product already inside Switzerland to be sold. Implementing regulations ahead of time (that restrict commerce in the EU), as well as prohibiting sale of goods (already 'placed on the market') doesn't sound right. How can I confirm or dismiss this information? Pat Lawler EMC Engineer SL Power Electronics Corp. - This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
