However, Scott has said 'The product will also go into standby if it loses communication with the controller ' so if there is no controller it will always be in standby mode and would appear to comply. As John noted when joined the product and controller become a 'system', and the 'system', whether your controller or not, can be used to verify that the product goes into standby as required. Similar to testing with a generic laptop that is not sold by the manufacturer of a peripheral product that is the UUT.

If not, the two units are a 'system' and the requirements appear to be met. If you want to sell the product alone, you are in some trouble, because you can't even test it alone. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only. With best wishes.
