The new EU regulation on energy efficiency ErP standby power consumption (EU) 2023/826 will be enforced on May 9, 2025!

The new regulation (EU) 2023/826 on standby power consumption for European ERP (Energy Related Products) will come into effect on May 9, 2023 and will be enforced from May 9, 2025. Simultaneously abolish the old version of Regulation (EC) No 1275/2008 and the Ecological Design Requirements for Simple Set Top Boxes Regulation (EC) No 107/2009.

The new regulation takes into account the increasing sales of products in the EU market, expanding its coverage to include electric furniture, building components, products equipped with low-voltage external power sources, and portable battery powered products with charging circuits.

After May 9, 2025, products that do not comply with (EU) 2023/826 will not be allowed to enter the EU market; However, products that have been put into the market before May 9, 2025 will not be affected.

Significant changes in new regulations

01. Covering the maximum energy consumption requirements of various household and office appliances and electronic devices in shutdown mode, standby mode, and networked standby mode.

02. Scope of application: Remove the exemption in the old regulations for equipment powered by low-voltage external power sources.

03. In addition to the original market for placement, the scope of application has been expanded to include situations where the product is put into use. For example, in the pre installation market, if the product is not physically launched on the market but is directly installed by the end user, this is applicable when it is put into use.

04. Abolish the old EU standby power consumption regulation (EC) 1275/2008 and the simple set-top box ecological design requirements regulation (EC) 107/2009.

05. The lower limit of the limit in standby and shutdown modes remains at 0.50 watts, and the lower limit of the limit in shutdown mode will be increased to 0.30 watts starting from May 9, 2027.

06. The standby power consumption limit for devices with display screens should not exceed 0.80 watts, and for drum dryers, it should not exceed 1.00 watts.

07. The standby power consumption of network connection products with HiNA function cannot exceed 8.00 watts, and the standby power consumption of products without HiNA function cannot exceed 2.00 watts.

08. Expand product scope

Delete the exemption in the old regulations for equipment powered by low-voltage external power sources.
Remove washing machines and dishwashers, which are separately defined and required in the regulations of (EU) 2019/2023 and (EU) 2019/2022, respectively.
New hair care equipment such as beverage preparation machines and curling irons have been added.
Requirements for adding devices such as printers and game consoles.
Include both simple and complex set-top box product categories.
Includes adjustable furniture, as well as electric blinds, doors, windows, and similar products.

Limit requirements

Information Requirements

The instruction manual and free access website provided by manufacturers, importers, or authorized representatives to end-users should include the following applicable information for all devices:

01. For each shutdown mode, standby mode (or other conditions that do not exceed the applicable power consumption requirements for shutdown mode or standby mode) and network standby mode to which the device is switched by power management or similar functions:

Power consumption in watts, rounded to the first decimal place;

The time for the device to reach automatic standby mode, shutdown mode, or networked standby mode, in minutes, rounded to the nearest minute;

02. If all wired network ports are connected and all wireless network ports are activated, the power consumption of the device in network standby mode;

03. For devices that require an external power source but do not have an external power source when they are put on the market, the manufacturer, importer, or authorized representative should provide technical feature information of the external power source product model used with the device;

04. Guidance on how to activate and deactivate wireless network ports.

The new regulations have stricter requirements for standby/shutdown power consumption. Manufacturers of household and office electronic and electrical equipment need to optimize their design, production, and other aspects to reduce shutdown/standby power consumption and meet the requirements of new regulations. Starting from May 9, 2025, products that do not comply with (EU) 2023/826 will not be allowed to be newly introduced into the EU market.
