Status
The two horizontal Ecodesign regulations on standby (No 1275/2008) and networked standby (No 801/2013) have succeeded in limiting the energy consumption of products when they are not in use. The review process of the regulations has started in autumn 2015 and is set to be adopted in the second quarter of 2023. Data from best available technology products on topten.eu show that future, more ambitious requirements are possible to secure more energy savings (read full Topten Policy Recommendations from January 2018).
