The Standing Committee of Officials (SCO) issued an information bulletin regarding plug-pack type power supplies, battery chargers, and similar equipment with integral pins in Australia/New Zealand.

The aim of the bulletin is to prevent certification of devices equipped with integral plug pins of US or Japanese type, as well as European type plug pins that are form part of the device cover. 

The SCO notes that the national standard AS/NZS 3112 “Approval and Test Specification - Plugs and Socket-Outlets” is going to be amended to clarify the requirement regarding detachable plug portions used in equipment.

Please note, detachable and integral, so called “plug adaptors”, cannot be connected with the equipment by using a defined plug in IEC 60083 or a plug tested to IEC 60884.1. Such constructions are considered assemblies and should be tested according to AS/NZS 3112 standard requirements and certified as a complete assembly.

Thus, we call manufacturers and suppliers of power supplies, battery chargers, and similar equipment with integral pins to pay attention to the bulletin and the upcoming changes in the requirements for the mentioned equipment and the methods of conformity approval.
