If the standby mode includes the display of information or status, this function shall also be provided when the networked standby is provided.

If the power consumption of the low power modes can only be measured at a DC voltage level, the results of these measurements for each low power mode shall be multiplied with a factor 1,5, representing an average AC-DC power conversion of 67%, to arrive at the values that shall comply with the requirements for low power modes.
