What determines the tariff number?
- Apparatus type and function. Power supplies are classified differently depending on their specific function. Whether it is a power supply unit, transformer, or voltage regulator significantly affects the tariff number.
- Materials and design method. The materials used and constructive design of the apparatus shape the classification. Differences in metal housings, insulation materials, and internal structure lead to different tariff numbers.
- Electronic vs. electromechanical design. Purely electronic power supplies are classified differently from devices with mechanical components. This fundamental distinction determines a major part of the tariff classification.
- Intended use and application. Power supplies for specialized applications (industrial, medical, telecommunications) may have distinct classifications. The intended purpose influences the exact tariff number assigned.
