THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 establishing a framework                           for the setting of ecodesign requirements for energy-related products(1), and in particular Article 15(1) thereof,                        

After consulting the Ecodesign Consultation Forum,

Whereas:

(1)Article 16(2) of Directive 2005/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(2) makes provision for an implementing measure, one of the priority measures being to reduce standby losses for a group of products.

(2)The networked standby electric power consumption of electrical and electronic household and office equipment had been addressed                              by the technical, environmental and economic study on standby and off mode losses carried out in 2006/07. It concluded that                              network connectivity was to become a common feature of household and office equipment. The Regulatory Committee on the Ecodesign                              of Energy-using Products recommended on 21 June 2008 addressing the question of networked standby in a separate process, due                              to a lack of data at the time.

(3)The Ecodesign Work Plan 2009-11 identified networked standby as one of the priorities. Accordingly, the Commission carried                              out a preparatory study in 2010/11 which analysed the technical, environmental and economic aspects of networked standby.                              The study was devised in association with stakeholders and interested parties from the EU and non-member countries, and the                              results were made publicly available.

(4)The study estimated the power consumption of electrical and electronic household and office equipment products sold in the                              Community related to conditions providing networked standby to be 54 TWh in 2010, corresponding to 23 Mt CO2 emissions. If no specific measures are taken, consumption is predicted to increase to 90 TWh in 2020. The conclusion was                              that electricity consumption related to networked standby can be significantly reduced. The present Regulation should increase                              the market penetration of technologies yielding improved energy efficiency for networked standby, leading to estimated energy                              savings of 36 TWh in 2020 and 49 TWh in 2025, compared to a business-as-usual scenario.

(5)In particular, the study found that the power management function that switches equipment into a condition having networked                              standby when not providing a main function is essential for delivering the potential savings. It is acknowledged that equipment,                              reactivated by an external or internal trigger, can be in an active mode for a limited period of time independently from its                              main function(s), e.g. to enable servicing or downloading of software. Power management should ensure that the product returns                              into a condition having networked standby after having completed the tasks.

(6)The preparatory study concluded that for networked standby a differentiation of requirements along the degree of network availability                              was needed. To that end, a limited number of HiNA equipment was identified, amongst which router, network switch, wireless                              network access point, hub and modem whose main function is the processing of network traffic. Since this equipment is expected                              to react on incoming traffic immediately, the condition having networked standby can be equivalent to the idle mode.

(7)Given that the functionalities in conditions of standby and networked standby are interlinked and the product scope is equivalent,                              the Ecodesign Consultation Forum supported, on 14 September 2011, the view that the ecodesign requirements regarding networked                              standby should be set out in an amending act to the existing Commission Regulation (EC) No 1275/2008(3).

(8)The requirements for standby and off mode, and for networked standby should be reviewed together. Given that the review date                              laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1275/2008 precedes the entry into force of the first stage of the networked standby requirements,                              the Regulation review date should be postponed by one year.

(9)Given that televisions which are subject to a product-specific ecodesign implementing measure were exempted from the scope                              of Regulation (EC) No 1275/2008, ecodesign requirements for television-related networked standby are included in Commission                              Regulation (EC) No 642/2009(4). The technical, environmental and economic study on networked standby estimated that the ecodesign requirements for networked                              standby of televisions would generate estimated savings of 10 TWh by 2020.

(10)For coffee machines, the Ecodesign Consultation Forums(5) of 16 December 2011 and 18 April 2012 supported the view that a product-specific implementing measure should not be adopted,                              but that the standby requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1275/2008 should be made more explicit for coffee machines.

(11)This regulation introduces specifications for the application of the power management requirements to coffee machines with                              regard to the default delay time after which the equipment is automatically switched into standby/off mode.

(12)It can be concluded from the technical, environmental and economic study on household coffee machines, carried out under the                              Ecodesign Directive, that limiting the delay time after which coffee machines are automatically switched into standby/off                              mode will result in additional annual savings of more than 2 TWh by 2020. These have not been considered in the savings assumptions                              for Regulation (EC) No 1275/2008,

Regarding the requirements set out in Annex II, points 3(c) and 4(a) Member States authorities shall use the applicable procedure                                 above, after having deactivated and/or disconnected, as applicable, all network ports of the unit.                           

When performing the market surveillance checks referred to in Article 3(2) of Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament                                 and of the Council(6), the Member States’ authorities shall apply the following verification procedure for the requirements set out in Annex II,                                 points 3 and 4, as applicable.                           

Member States’ authorities shall test one single unit as follows:                           
                -  If the equipment has, as indicated in the technical documentation, one type of network port and if two or more ports of that                                       type are available, one of these ports is randomly chosen and that port is connected to the appropriate network complying                                       with the maximum specification of the port. In the event of multiple wireless network ports of the same type, the other wireless                                       ports shall be deactivated if possible. In the event of multiple wired network ports of the same type for verifying requirements                                       set out in Annex II, point 3, the other network ports shall be deactivated if possible. If only one network port is available,                                       that port is connected to the appropriate network complying with the maximum specification of the port.                                  
                -  The unit is put in on mode. Once the unit in on mode is working properly, it is allowed to go into the condition providing                                       networked standby and the power consumption is measured. Then the appropriate trigger is given to the equipment through the                                       network port and a check is made on whether the equipment is reactivated.                                  
                -  If the equipment has, as indicated in the technical documentation, more than one type of network port for each type of network                                       port the following procedure is repeated. If two or more network ports of a type are available, one port is chosen randomly                                       for each type of network port and that port is connected to the appropriate network complying with the maximum specification                                       of the port.                                  
                -  If for a certain type of network port only one port is available, that port is connected to the appropriate network complying                                       with the maximum specification of the port. Wireless ports not used shall be deactivated if possible. In the event of verification                                       of requirements set out in Annex II, point 3, the wired network ports not used shall be deactivated if possible.                                  
                -  The unit is put in on mode. Once the unit in on mode is working properly, it is allowed to go into the condition providing                                       networked standby and the power consumption is measured. Then the appropriate trigger is given to the equipment through the                                       network port and a check is made whether the equipment is reactivated. If one physical network port is shared by two or more                                       types of (logical) network ports this procedure is repeated for each type of logical network port, with the other logical                                       network ports being logical-disconnected.                                  
                -  The model shall be considered to comply with this Regulation if the results for each type of network port do not exceed the                                       limit value by more than 10 %.                                  
                -  Otherwise, three more units shall be tested. The model shall be considered to comply with this Regulation if the average of                                       the results for each type of network port of the latter three tests does not exceed the limit value by more than 10 %.                                  
                -  Otherwise, the model shall be considered not to comply.                                  
                -  The Member State authorities shall provide the test results and other relevant information to the authorities of the other                                       Member States and to the Commission within one month of the decision being taken on the non-compliance of the model.                                  

In addition to the procedures set out above, Member States’ authorities shall use reliable, accurate and reproducible measurement                                 procedures which take into account the generally recognised state of the art, including methods set out in documents the reference                                 numbers of which have been published for that purpose in the *Official Journal of the European Union*.’;                           

In Annex IV the following is added after the last sentence:

‘Networked standby: 3 W for HiNA equipment; 1 W or less for non-HiNA equipment.’.

##### (1)When performing the market surveillance checks referred to in Article 3(2) of Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament                                 and of the Council(7), the Member States’ authorities shall apply the following verification procedure for the requirements set out in Annex I,                                 Parts 1, 2, 4 and 5.U.K.

Member States’ authorities shall test one single television unit.

The model shall be considered to comply with the provisions set out in Annex I, if:

the result for on-mode power consumption does not exceed the applicable limit value set out in Annex I, points 1 and 2 of                                       Part 1 by more than 7 %; and                                    

the results for off-mode/standby conditions, as applicable, do not exceed the applicable limit values set out in Annex I,                                       point 1(a) and (b) and point 2(a) and (b) of Part 2 by more than 0,10 W; and                                    

the result for the peak luminance ratio set out in Annex I, Part 5 does not fall below 60 %.

If the results referred to in point 1(a) or (b) or (c) are not achieved, three additional units of the same model shall be                              tested.                           

##### (2)After three additional units of the same model have been tested, the model shall be considered to comply with the requirements                                 set out in Annex I, if:U.K.

the average of the results for the latter three units for on-mode power consumption does not exceed the applicable limit value                                       set out in Annex I, points 1 and 2 of Part 1 by more than 7 %; and                                    

the average of the results for the latter three units for off-mode/standby conditions, as applicable, do not exceed the applicable                                       limit values set out in Annex I, point 1(a) and (b) and point 2(a) and (b) of Part 2 by more than 0,10 W; and

If the results referred to in point 2(a) and (b) and (c) are not achieved, the model shall be considered not to comply with                              the requirements.                           

#### B.*Verification procedure for requirements established in Part 3 of Annex I*U.K.

When performing the market surveillance checks referred to in Article 3(2) of Directive 2009/125/EC, the Member States’ authorities                              shall apply the following verification procedure for the requirements set out in Annex I, points 1(d) and 2(c) of Part 3,                              as applicable. They shall use the applicable procedure below, after having deactivated and/or disconnected, as applicable,                              all network ports of the unit.                           

Member States’ authorities shall test one single unit as follows:

If the television has, as indicated in the technical documentation, one type of network port and if two or more ports of that                              type are available, one of these ports is chosen randomly and that port is connected to the appropriate network complying                              with the maximum specification of the port. In the event of multiple wireless network ports of the same type, the other wireless                              ports shall be deactivated if possible. In the event of multiple wired network ports of the same type for verifying requirements                              set out in Annex I, point 2, the other network ports shall be deactivated if possible. If only one network port is available,                              that port is connected to the appropriate network complying with the maximum specification of the port.                           

The unit is put in on mode. Once the unit in on mode is working properly, it is allowed to go into the condition providing                              networked standby and the power consumption is measured. Then the appropriate trigger is provided to the television through                              the network port and a check is made whether the television is reactivated.                           

Where the television has, as indicated in the technical documentation, more than one type of network port, for each type of                              network port the following procedure is repeated. If two or more network ports of a type are available, one port is chosen                              randomly for each type of network port and that port is connected to the appropriate network complying with the maximum specification                              of the port.                           

If for a certain type of network port only one port is available, that port is connected to the appropriate network complying                              with the maximum specification of the port. Wireless ports not used shall be deactivated if possible. In the event of verification                              of requirements set out in Annex II, point 3, the wired network ports not used shall be deactivated if possible.                           

The unit is put in on mode. Once the unit in on mode is working properly, it is allowed to go into the condition providing                              networked standby and the power consumption is measured. Then the appropriate trigger is provided to the television through                              the network port and a check is made whether the television is reactivated.                           

If one physical network port is shared by two or more types of (logical) network ports this procedure is repeated for each                              type of logical network port, with the other logical network ports being logical-disconnected.                           

The model shall be considered to comply with this Regulation if the results for each type of network port do not exceed the                              limit value by more than 7 %.                           

Otherwise, three more units shall be tested. The model shall be considered to comply with this Regulation if the average of                              the results for each type of network port of the latter three tests does not exceed the limit value by more than 7 %.                           

Otherwise, the model shall be considered not to comply.

The Member State authorities shall provide the test results and other relevant information to the authorities of the other                              Member States and to the Commission within one month of the decision being taken on the non-compliance of the model.                           

#### C.*Conformity check*U.K.

For the purpose of checking conformity with the requirements, the authorities of the Member States shall use the procedure                              set out in Annex II and reliable, accurate and reproducible measurement procedures, which take into account the generally                              recognised state of the art measurement methods, including methods set in documents the reference numbers of which have been                              published for that purpose in the *Official Journal of the European Union*.”
