2. Battery chargers: Amend regulation to allow for a prescribed label (e.g. verification mark) to be placed on either the product or the product’s packaging aligning with NRCan’s energy efficiency labelling requirements for this product.

3. External power supplies: Amend regulation to allow for a prescribed label (e.g. verification mark) to be placed on either the product or the product’s packaging aligning with NRCan’s energy efficiency labelling requirements for this product.

We greatly appreciate the Ministry’s efforts to amend these regulations.
