This Recommendation ITU-T L.1002 defines requirements, and provides guidelines on environmental aspects, of universal power adapter solutions (UPA) designed for use with portable information and communication technology ICT devices. It is complementary to Recommendations ITU-T L.1000 and ITU-T L.1001 and aims to cover the widest possible range of ICT devices for portable use within identified voltage and power ranges. It firstly describes basic configurations of UPAs, consisting of a power adapter block with a detachable input cable and a detachable output cable to the ICT device. Then, it defines different general recommendations for UPAs and their interfaces, including cables, connectors, voltage, current, ripple noise, energy efficiency, no-load power, safety, electromagnetic compatibility, resistibility and eco-environmental specifications. All the recommendations have been set with the aim to reduce e-waste and increase usability.
