[RFI] Comcast Wall warts

[Cortland Richmond]

Alles, was nicht Pflicht ist, ist verboten; everything  not mandated, is
forbidden. That's a ban spelled sideways. IIRC, the rules apply to
transformers too.

§ 431.371 Submission of data.
(a) Certification. 
(1) Except as provided in paragraph (a)(2) of this section, each
manufacturer or private labeler before distributing into the stream of
commerce any basic model of covered equipment covered by this subpart and
subject to an energy or water conservation standard set forth in this part,
shall certify by means of a compliance statement and a certification report
that each basic model meets the applicable energy or water conservation
standard. Except as provided in paragraph (a)(2) of this section, each
manufacturer or private labeler shall file § 431.371 Submission of data.

(Emphasis added)

Thanks.

So it's like "banning" incandescent lamps: there is no law banning anything
but there is a law mandating efficiency.

IOW, if you can build a linear power supply (or incandescent lamp) that
meets the standards, have at it.  Works for me.

The various industries seemed to be moving in that direction anyway, since
the smaller size and lighter weight of switchers was financially attractive
to them.  Now, if we could just get the FCC to actually apply RFI standards
...
