M/544 - Ecodesign - Networked standby
[C(2015)9468] Standardisation request to the European standardisation organisations as regards Ecodesign requirements for network standby in support of Regulation (EC) no 1275/2008 and Regulation (EC) 642/2009
Mandate M/544 requests the European standardisation organisations (ESOs) to develop standards supporting Ecodesign requirements for networked standby functionality. This supports the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 1275/2008 and Regulation (EC) No 642/2009, which set energy efficiency criteria for electrical and electronic household and office equipment. The mandate aims to ensure products consume minimal power during networked standby mode, contributing to overall energy savings and environmental protection. Its approval is formalised under resolution D152/064.
Purpose
The mandate M/544 concerns the development of standardisation deliverables related to ecodesign requirements for networked standby. It supports the implementation of specific European regulations: Regulation (EC) No 1275/2008 and Regulation (EC) No 642/2009. These regulations set energy consumption limits for electrical and electronic household and office equipment in standby and off modes, aiming to improve energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact.
Standardisation request
The European Commission requested the European standardisation organisations to develop standards that specify ecodesign requirements for networked standby functionality. Networked standby refers to the mode in which electrical devices remain connected to a network and consume energy while not actively in use, enabling remote activation or data exchange. The standardisation work is intended to support harmonised application of the aforementioned regulations across EU member states by providing technical criteria and conformity assessment methods.
Expected deliverables
The anticipated deliverables include harmonised standards that:
- Define energy consumption requirements for networked standby modes in relevant product categories.
- Establish measurement methods and testing procedures to verify compliance.
- Facilitate conformity assessment and market surveillance activities.
These standards will assist manufacturers, regulators, and market surveillance authorities in ensuring devices meet the ecodesign requirements related to networked standby energy efficiency.
Context
This mandate is part of the EU's broader efforts to improve energy efficiency in electrical and electronic products and reduce energy waste in standby and off modes. Regulations (EC) No 1275/2008 and 642/2009 set binding ecodesign requirements, and standardisation is essential to provide technical details and ensure uniform compliance. The work under mandate M/544 aligns with the Digital Single Market strategy by addressing energy consumption linked to connected devices and networking capabilities.
This mandate covers standardisation work related to ecodesign requirements for networked standby modes in electrical and electronic products. It supports the implementation of Regulations (EC) No 1275/2008 and 642/2009, focusing on reducing energy consumption during standby or networked standby operation of products. The scope includes products with networked standby functionality across various sectors where such energy savings are relevant.

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/544 is a European Standardization Mandate titled "[C(2015)9468] Standardisation request to the European standardisation organisations as regards Ecodesign requirements for network standby in support of Regulation (EC) no 1275/2008 and Regulation (EC) 642/2009". [C(2015)9468] Standardisation request to the European standardisation organisations as regards Ecodesign requirements for network standby in support of Regulation (EC) no 1275/2008 and Regulation (EC) 642/2009 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.
