National Burglar & Fire Alarm Association (nbfaa) Requests Exemption From Proposed U.s. Department Of Energy Regulations

摘要

Recently, the National Burglar & Fire Alarm Association (NBFAA) submitted comments to the U.S. Department of Energy regarding their proposed "Test Procedures for Battery Chargers and External Power Supplies in Standby Mode and Off Mode." The Department is expected to announce a final regulation at the end of this year which could adversely impact NBFAA members and their customers. Pointing out that "... life safety/alarm and security products must be in an "on" position at all times and are never to be used in an "off mode" or "standby mode," the NBFAA requested that the final regulations should include an exemption to read: "This mode does not apply to power supplies used for security, surveillance, access control and life safety/alarm products."
