I believe a clock does not normally have a standby mode. When displaying the time a clock is in active mode - displaying the time is its main function. The mention of "clocks" in the definition of standby mode relates to clocks on ovens etc. which is not the main function of an oven.
A clock in standby mode would be displaying the time when it was put in standby mode - not very useful!

Reading the 1275/2008 article 2.2 I understand that it is permanently in 'standby mode' because it "provides only the function of - information or status display". Am I right ? Annex I.2 I understand that the information technology devices environments are divided into domestic and industrial, and office is covered by domestic. Am I right ? Article 2.1 (a) calls for a "single functional unit" and I believe as such clock can work without Ethernet connection I think it is single functional unit. Am I right ? I can't find other way to exclude it from EuP so I suppose such clocks would be prohibited.
