EPSMA Publications
 

The EPSMA publishes a range of technical documents and guides relating to power supplies. It also provides links to publications produced by the International PSMA. If you decide to view one of the documents on this page, a pop-up box will request your contact details so that we can keep you informed about similar or updated publications when they become available. Registering for this service is entirely optional, and your details will be used only for the purpose described above.

There are a number of different types of EPSMA publication. Some are available to EPSMA members only, and others are available to anyone. Some are free of charge and others are available to purchase. The following provides a guide to the different types of document and how they can be obtained:

  • Available to anyone free of charge - Documents that are available free of charge to anyone, will download automatically when the link to the document (below) is clicked.


  • Available only to paid-up EPSMA Members, Associates and Affiliates - If a document is for EPSMA members only, EPSMA members will normally receive this automatically from the Secretariat as soon as it is published. However, EPSMA members can also request soft copies of the document by contacting the Secretariat. (Other companies can become members of the EPSMA to obtain these types of documents, provided they fulfil the membership criteria).

  • Available to EPSMA and non-EPSMA members for a fee - Some publications are expensive to produce, and hence a charge is levied for access to assist in covering these costs. If this is the case, clicking on one of the links below will download a sales brochure. Copies can then be ordered by contacting the EPSMA Secretariat, who will deliver the report by e-mail in PDF format, usually within 24 hours.

  • Non-EPSMA Documents - The EPSMA and International PSMA operate a cross-promotion agreement. Clicking on one of the relevant PSMA links below will download information about PSMA reports which can then be ordered and downloaded directly from PSMA.
