Dear All, The captioned regulation amends the current EU Regulation (EC) No 1275/2008 on standby power and the product specific EU Regulation (EC) No 642/2009 on Consumer TVs. On the surface, all the electrical and electronics equipment using Wifi or Ethernet connections, such as internet radio receivers, wifi speakers, network media players and networked TVs fall into the scope. They all have either wired or wireless network port/interface. However they cannot be triggered to turn on remotely like remote wake-up feature on computers. It may have this feature when Smart Home appliances come to the light. Thus in theory they are not falling into the new regulation of 801/2013. It cannot achieve the energy saving purpose and just causes confusion to manufacturers, retailers and customers. What is the rationale behind to impose this new regulation? Is there any official guidance available to public to avoid unnecessary panics?
