Test suites for assessment of the external universal power adapter solutions for stationary information and communication technology devices

Abstract

Recommendation ITU-T L.1006 describes the general test suites applicable to the universal power adapter solution (UPA) designed for ICT devices for stationary (non-portable) use defined in Recommendation ITU-T L.1001. It considers the creation of specific test suites to assess certain functional aspects of the energy efficiency, interworking, safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of universal power adapter solution (UPA) designed for ICT devices for stationary (non portable) use. Such testing is required to guarantee a minimum quality level of the universal charging solution (UCS) in conformance with the target basic configuration of UPA described in Recommendation ITU-T L.1001. With regard to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and safety aspects, additional requirements to those listed in Recommendation ITU-T L.1001 are necessary for a product to be available for use by the general public.
