I have struggled with the lack of a clear scope statements from the EuP and its various implementation measures.
2005/32/EC has the definitions for off and standby, and again in article 2 of 1275/2008. There is not a 'no-load' measurement condition in 1275/2008 - only 'standby' and 'off' modes. But if the unit has an external p.s., look at 278/2009 - where the other power measurement is the "no-load condition". For 1275/2008, it is my interpretation that a 'standby' mode is not required. But there must be a zero-power off mode. I would also appreciate comments on this.

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?
