ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC HOUSEHOLD AND OFFICE EQUIPMENT –
MEASUREMENT OF NETWORKED STANDBY POWER
CONSUMPTION OF EDGE EQUIPMENT
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC Publication(s)"). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) IEC draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights in
respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, IEC had received notice of (a) patent(s), which
may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent
the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at https://patents.iec.ch. IEC
shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
IEC 63474 has been prepared by technical area 19: Environmental and energy aspects for
multimedia systems and equipment, of IEC technical committee 100: Audio, video and
multimedia systems and equipment. It is an International Standard.

INTRODUCTION
The methods defined in this document are intended to define requirements for the measurement
of the power consumed by the equipment having one or more wired or wireless network port(s)
able to resume a function by way of a remotely initiated trigger or reactivation trigger from a
network connection.
For the measurement of low power consumption, reference is made to EN 50564:2011. This
document also provides a method to test power management and whether it is possible to
deactivate wireless network connection(s).

ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC HOUSEHOLD AND OFFICE EQUIPMENT –
MEASUREMENT OF NETWORKED STANDBY POWER
CONSUMPTION OF EDGE EQUIPMENT
1 Scope
This document specifies methods of measurement of electrical power consumption in networked
standby and the reporting of the results for edge equipment.
Power consumption in standby (other than networked standby) is covered by EN 50564,
including the input voltage range.
This document also provides a method to test power management and to test whether it is
possible to deactivate wireless network connection(s).
NOTE 1 This document applies to electrical products with a rated input voltage of 230 V a.c. for single phase
products and 400 V a.c. for three-phase products.
NOTE 2 The measurement of energy consumption and performance of products during intended use are generally
specified in product standards and are not covered by this document.
NOTE 3 The term "products" in this document includes household appliances or information technology products,
consumer electronics, audio, video and multimedia systems; however, the measurement methodology can be applied
to other products.
This document does not apply to the measurement of electrical power consumption in
networked standby for interconnecting equipment.
NOTE 4 Measurement of electrical power consumption in networked standby for interconnecting equipment is the
subject of ETSI standard EN 303 423.
