Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

  1. (a)

    Possibility of deactivating wireless network connection(s)

    Any networked equipment that can be connected to a wireless network shall offer the user the possibility to deactivate the wireless network connection(s). This requirement does not apply to products which rely on a single wireless network connection for intended use and have no wired network connection.

  2. (b)

    Power management for networked equipment

    Equipment shall, unless inappropriate for the intended use, offer a power management function or a similar function. When equipment is not providing a main function, and other energy-using product(s) are not dependent on its functions, the power management function shall switch equipment after the shortest possible period of time appropriate for the intended use of the equipment, automatically into a condition having networked standby.

    In a condition providing networked standby, the power management function may switch equipment automatically into standby mode or off mode or another condition which does not exceed the applicable power consumption requirements for standby and/or off mode.

    The power management function, or a similar function, shall be available for all network ports of the networked equipment.

    The power management function, or a similar function, shall be activated, unless all network ports are deactivated. In that latter case the power management function, or a similar function, shall be activated if any of the network ports is activated.

    The default period of time after which the power management function, or a similar function, switches the equipment automatically into a condition providing networked standby shall not exceed 20 minutes.

  3. (c)

    Networked equipment that has one or more standby modes shall comply with the requirements for these standby mode(s) when all network ports are deactivated.

  4. (d)

    Networked equipment other than HiNA equipment shall comply with the provisions under 2(d) when all network ports are deactivated.

  5. (e)

    Power consumption in a condition providing networked standby:

    The power consumption of HiNA equipment or equipment with HiNA functionality in a condition providing networked standby into which the equipment is switched by the power management function, or a similar function shall not exceed 12,00 W.

    The power consumption of other networked equipment in a condition providing networked standby into which the equipment is switched by the power management function, or a similar function, shall not exceed 6,00 W.

    The power consumption limits as stipulated in point (e) shall not apply to:

    1. (i)

      printing equipment with a power supply of a rated power larger than 750 W;

    2. (ii)

      large format printing equipment;

    3. (iii)

      tele-presence systems;

    4. (iv)

      desktop thin clients;

    5. (v)

      workstations;

    6. (vi)

      mobile workstations;

    7. (vii)

      small-scale servers;

    8. (viii)

      computer servers.
