See the federal standards main page to view current status

The Energy Policy Act of 2005 contains a provision directing DOE to set standards on battery chargers.  DOE has begun a proceeding, with final action scheduled for August 2011.  Under the law, the standard takes effect three years later.   Ten states, including California, have external power supply standards that cover battery chargers that use external power supplies.
