Hi Mark The pre-amble to the regulation states: (9) Operating modes not covered by this Regulation, such as the ACPI S3 mode of computers, should be considered in product-specific implementing measures pursuant to Directive 2005/32/EC. I have beeen told - verbally - that 1275/2008 is not intended to cover networked standby. A seperate study covering network standby is about to begin; as with other studies this will probably lead ultimately to a regulation. The EC will be publishing some guidance notes on 1275/2008 in the coming months. Chris

My question is regarding the phrase: "Equipment shall, except where this is inappropriate for the intended use, provide off mode and/or standby mode, and/or another condition which does not exceed the applicable power consumption requirements for off mode and/or standby mode when the equipment is connected to the mains power source." Would standby mode be inapproporiate for networking equipment, running traffic or even being in the listening mode (which is far different than TV's standby mode)? Did anyone ever received any clarifications from EU on this subject? how is one suppose to determine what is appropriate or not? Thanks, Mark ________________________________ Ready for Fall shows?
