The policy contained in the memorandum should be applied to all transport airplane programs for an acceptable method of compliance with 14 CFR part 25 for power supply systems (PSS) installed in part 25 airplanes for use with passengerprovided carry-on devices or portable electronic devices (PED). Portable electronic devices include but are not limited to portable computers, handheld computing devices, and hand-held gaming devices. These guidelines are applicable to PSS intended for use with PED and are independent of the PSS outlet location (e.g., seat, wall, or cabinet mounted) and apply only to the electrical aspects of PSS for PED. This policy does not cover the approval or the use of these devices or any interconnecting means used to power such equipment onboard an airplane. This guidance covers low voltage and high voltage systems.
