Battery powered devices are those devices constructed to be powered solely by battery. If these devices can be connected to the electrical mains, either directly or indirectly (via a battery charger), they are in terms of the EMC arrangements, not regarded as battery powered devices. All battery powered products that fall under the scope of the EMC standards listed in Appendix A of the suppliers booklet must comply with the EMC regulatory arrangements. After 7 November 2003, those battery powered devices and three phase equipment covered by AS/NZS CISPR 15 and AS/NZS CISPR 14 (or their International and European equivalents) must also comply with the arrangements.
