M/267 - Audio Systems
Measurement method for power consumption of audio systems
Mandate M/267 requests the development of a standardized measurement method for the power consumption of audio systems. This standard aims to provide consistent and reliable procedures for assessing the energy usage of audio equipment, supporting energy efficiency evaluations and regulatory compliance across the European Union. The standardisation work is intended to facilitate transparent and comparable power consumption data for manufacturers, regulators, and consumers. The mandate is addressed to European Standardisation Organisations to ensure harmonized technical criteria that support environmental and energy-saving objectives in line with EU policies.
Purpose
The mandate M/267 aims to establish a standardized measurement method for determining the power consumption of audio systems. This is intended to support energy efficiency assessments and regulatory requirements by providing a harmonized approach to quantifying the power usage of such devices.
Standardisation request
Under this mandate, European standardisation organisations are requested to develop and deliver standards that specify methods for accurately measuring the power consumption of audio systems. The focus is on creating consistent and reproducible measurement protocols applicable to a broad range of audio equipment.
Expected deliverables
The expected deliverables include one or more European standards defining the test conditions, measurement procedures, and calculation methods necessary to assess the power consumption of audio systems. These standards will serve as a reference for manufacturers, testing laboratories, and regulatory authorities.
Context
Audio systems consume electrical power and contribute to the overall energy consumption of consumer electronics. Standardised measurement methods are essential for evaluating energy performance, enabling energy labelling and eco-design requirements within the EU framework. Mandate M/267 supports these objectives by addressing measurement accuracy and comparability across products and markets.
This mandate covers the standardisation of measurement methods specifically for determining the power consumption of audio systems. It focuses on defining consistent and reliable procedures to assess the energy use of audio equipment, aiding in energy efficiency evaluations within the audio technology sector.

Frequently Asked Questions
A European Standardization Mandate is a formal request from the European Commission to the European Standardization Organizations (CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI) to develop European standards (ENs) in support of EU legislation and policies. Mandates are issued under Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 and help ensure that products and services meet the essential requirements set out in EU directives and regulations.
M/267 is a European Standardization Mandate titled "Measurement method for power consumption of audio systems". Measurement method for power consumption of audio systems There are 0 standards developed under this mandate.
Standards developed in response to a mandate and cited in the Official Journal of the European Union become "harmonized standards". Products manufactured in compliance with harmonized standards benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the corresponding EU directive or regulation, facilitating CE marking and market access across the European Economic Area.
