1 Scope

This document specifies methods of measurement of electrical power in networked standby mode and the reporting of the results for edge equipment.

The measurement of power and energy use in non-active mode, other than networked standby mode, is covered by IEC 62301 [1], including the input voltage range.

This document applies to edge equipment that is powered by:

• low voltage mains AC power (LV ≤ 1 000 V AC), or

• an external power supply that provides low voltage (LV ≤ 1 000 V) or extra low voltage (ELV ≤ 50 V) AC or DC power, or

• a separate source of extra low voltage DC power (ELV ≤ 50 V DC), or

• an internal main battery.

Conditions that are outside the scope of this document are as follows:

• active modes (primary function),

• other non-active modes (which are either covered by IEC 62301 [1] or by specific product group standards),

• conditions where main batteries are being charged other than in maintenance mode,

• disconnected condition of the equipment.

This document applies to the following product groups where a networked standby mode is present:

• edge equipment with a network reactivation function, such as household appliances, information technology equipment, audio, video and multimedia systems and equipment,

• digital radio receivers with an emergency warning function,

• gas burning equipment with electrical components.

This document also provides a method to test power management and to test whether it is possible to deactivate wireless network connection(s).

This group EE publication is primarily intended to be used as an EE standard for the products mentioned in the scope, but is also intended to be used by TCs in the preparation of publications for products which are included in the boundary mentioned in the scope of this document.
