许多年以来,被认为是信息类设备的电源分配设备仅仅是计算机电源中心和简单的电源分配系统。许多大型系统囊括了电源分配系统和原始整合的大型主机电脑。单体的整体所需的分配变压器会给许多刀片主机供电。但是,向电脑机房和电脑变得更精密,这些电源分配系统被设计安置在格子里。导致90年代许多问题,铁别是是否这些系统应该被划分在系统之外。事实上最初AHHS要求国际电泳委员为250项要求中吧这种电源分配系统划分出来。但是事实向工厂能把国际电工远非地645-15“那些给信息设备供电的被划分到信息技术设备里面的电源系统或者是设备的电线分配不应该被分离出来”。结果UL把这些设备列为信息类设备,但仅仅是那些应用在电脑机房里的电气设备。自从IEC/UL 60950-1不把这样的设备单独划分出来,备用到户外电源机房里的带有基本变压器的分配设备,不用改被用类别好NWGQ认证,自从跟多要求要单独分配系统。这些要求不是IEC/UL60950-1中的一部分。
