23.8.2013 Official Journal of the European Union L 225/1 II (Non-legislative acts) REGULATIONS COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 801/2013 of 22 August 2013 amending Regulation (EC) No 1275/2008 with regard to ecodesign requirements for standby, off mode electric power consumption of electrical and electronic household and office equipment, and amending Regulation (EC) No 6422009 with regard to ecodesign requirements for televisions (Text with EEA relevance) THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION, Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Having regard to Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 establishing a framework for the setting of ecodesign requirements for energy-related products (!), and in particular Article 15(1) thereof, After consulting the Ecodesign Consultation Forum, Whereas: () ) Article 16(2) of Directive 2005/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) makes provision for an implementing measure, one of the priority measures being to reduce standby losses for a group of products. The networked standby electric power consumption of electrical and electronic household and office equipment had been addressed by the technical, environmental and economic study on standby and off mode losses carried out in 2006/07. It concluded that network connectivity was to become a common feature of household and office equipment. The Regulatory Committee on the Ecodesign of Energy-using Products recommended on L 285, 31.10.2009, p. 10. L 191, 22.7.2005, p. 29. () 21 June 2008 addressing the question of networked standby in a separate process, due to a lack of data at the time. The Ecodesign Work Plan 2009-11 identified networked standby as one of the priorities. Accordingly, the Commission carried out a preparatory study in 2010/11 which analysed the technical, environmental and economic aspects of networked standby. The study was devised in association with stakeholders and interested parties from the EU and non-member coun- tries, and the results were made publicly available. The study estimated the power consumption of electrical and electronic household and office equipment products sold in the Community related to conditions providing networked standby to be 54TWh in 2010, corresponding to 23 Mt CO, emissions. If no specific measures are taken, consumption is predicted to increase to 90 TWh in 2020. The conclusion was that electricity consumption related to networked standby can be significantly reduced. The present Regulation should increase the market penetration of technologies yielding improved energy efficiency for networked standby, leading to estimated energy savings of 36 TWh in 2020 and 49 TWh in 2025, compared to a business- as-usual scenario. In particular, the study found that the power management function that switches equipment into a condition having networked standby when not providing a main function is essential for delivering the potential savings. It is acknowledged that equipment, reactivated by an external or internal trigger, can be in an active mode for a limited period of time indepen- dently from its main function(s), eg. to enable servicing or downloading of  software. Power management should ensure that the product returns into a condition having networked standby after having completed the tasks.
