1 Scope
1.1 Equipment in the scope of this standard
This European Standard 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 European Standard also provides a method to test power management and whether it is possible to
deactivate wireless network connection(s).
NOTE 1 This standard has been written in particular to support Commission Regulation (EU) No 801/2013 for the
measurement of energy consumption in networked standby. This standard 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 standard.
NOTE 3 The term “products” in this standard includes household appliances or information technology products,
consumer electronics, audio, video and multimedia systems; however the measurement methodology could be applied
to other products.
Where this standard is referenced by more specific standards or procedures, these should define and name
the relevant conditions to which this test procedure is applied.
1.2 Equipment not in the scope of this standard
This European Standard does not apply to the measurement of electrical power consumption in networked
standby for interconnecting equipment.
NOTE Measurement of electrical power consumption in networked standby for interconnecting equipment is the
subject of ETSI standard EN 303 423 “Environmental Engineering (EE) - Electrical and electronic household and office
equipment; Measurement of networked standby power consumption for interconnecting equipment”.

EN 50643:2018 (E)
4.2 Power management function - periods and conditions
The manufacturer shall provide information on:
a) whether the equipment under test provides a power management or a similar function. If the EUT
does not provide power management or a similar function, the manufacturer shall explain why such a
function would be inappropriate for the intended use;
b) 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.
NOTE 1 In European Regulation (EC) No 1275/2008 (as amended by Regulation (EU) No 801/2013), the maximum
default period is given as 20 min during which the equipment has not been providing its main function.
NOTE 2 In European Regulation (EC) No 642/2009 (as amended by Regulation (EU) No 801/2013), the maximum
default period is given as 4 h following the last user interaction and/or channel change.
4.3 Activation and deactivation of wireless network connections
The manufacturer shall provide information on the procedure the user needs to follow in order to activate
and deactivate each wireless network connection, if any.
The above requirement does not apply to equipment which relies on a single wireless network connection
for intended use and does not have a wired network connection.
5 Measurement conditions
5.1 Common requirements
The general conditions for measurements specified in EN 50564:2011, 4.1 shall apply.
The tests described in Clause 6 shall be repeated, if applicable, for each type of network port.
Each type of logical network port (as declared by the manufacturer) using the same physical network
port shall be tested.
Where the manufacturer declares that multiple physical network ports have the same technical and logical
specification(s), tests shall be executed with any one of these physical network ports being connected
(the other ones being deactivated for wireless network ports and disconnected for wired network ports).
When a logical network port, as declared by the manufacturer, supports multiple editions of a
communication technology standard (e.g. for backward compatibility), the logical network port is tested
only according to the specifications of the latest standard edition used by the EUT for retrieving a
reactivation message. Examples are shown in Annex C (informative).
NOTE Some devices can be designed to switch to a lower data rate during networked standby in order to further
reduce energy consumption.
In order to restrict influence of external factors, the reactivation trigger shall be initiated within a local test
network without external network connections. In the case that a network connection external to the local
test network is necessary for remote activation, this external network connection shall be established and
maintained during testing so that the reactivation trigger can be received; where identified in the
information provided by the manufacturer (see Clause 4), the stability of this external network connection
may be checked or monitored.
EXAMPLE 1 External factors can be maintenance, information/software update or a denial of service attack.
EXAMPLE 2 External network connections can be WAN, cable network, satellite link, etc.

5.2 Test room
The requirements specified in EN 50564:2011, 4.2 shall apply.
5.3 Power supply
The requirements specified in EN 50564:2011, 4.3 shall apply.
5.4 Power measuring instruments
The requirements specified in EN 50564:2011, 4.4 shall apply.
5.5 Configuration of network ports
When testing only one type of network port, the procedure given in 6.4 shall be followed. The network
ports of the EUT, other than the network port under test shall be deactivated for wireless network ports
and disconnected for wired network ports, if possible. Logical network ports which can only be activated
and deactivated together shall be tested together following the same procedures used for individual
network ports.
The network port under test shall have networked standby functionality enabled and shall be connected
to appropriate test equipment which will form the network configuration for the test. In case more than one
type of reactivation trigger is available per type of network port to reactivate the EUT when in networked
standby, the configuration resulting in the highest power consumption in networked standby shall be
determined, as given below:
a) At least once, all configurations shall be set-up with the information provided according the 4.1 and
tested following the procedure given in Clause 6 to determine the related power consumption to
determine the configuration with the highest power consumption.
b) When the configuration with the reactivation trigger resulting in the highest power consumption in
networked standby is known, this configuration shall be selected to conduct the measurement. The
source of this information shall be additionally given in the test report.
c) When the power consumption does not depend on the configuration and its reactivation trigger used,
the configuration with the default reactivation trigger setting shall be selected.
The test equipment shall be able to test the EUT at the maximum performance level of the network port’s
protocol supported by hardware and software of the EUT.
When testing the maximum configuration of network ports (see 6.6), the maximum number of wired
network ports allowed for be the EUT shall be connected and the maximum number of wireless network
ports allowed by the EUT shall be activated.
5.6 Measurement uncertainty
Uncertainty introduced by the instrument that measures the input power shall be determined according to
EN 50564:2011, 4.4.1. EN 50564:2011, Annex D also describes the determination of measurement
uncertainty, taking other parameters into account.
In order to avoid additional sources of uncertainty for networked equipment, cable lengths and
measurement distances specified in Annex A shall be applied. The test network should be restricted to the
necessary test and ancillary equipment, directly related connected devices and the EUT.
6 Measurement procedure
6.1 General
The requirements specified in EN 50564:2011, 5.1 shall apply.

6.2 Wireless network connection management
6.2.1 Test sequence
Wireless network connection management shall be tested using the following steps, using (where
applicable) information supplied by the manufacturer:
a) identify all wireless network connections supported by the EUT and make sure the EUT is connected
to a suitable transceiving device (e.g. antenna), utilising information provided in accordance with 4.3;
b) deactivate all wireless network connections supported by the EUT;
c) verify that all wireless transmitters corresponding to the wireless network connections identified in
step 1 are deactivated, according to 6.2.2.
NOTE On some edge devices, a wireless network technology running on different frequencies (e.g. RF networks
operating at 2,4 GHz and 5,0 GHz) is seen as a single wireless network connection, if carrier frequencies cannot be
switched on or off separately.
6.2.2 Verifying that wireless connections are deactivated
To verify that wireless transmitters are off, a suitable detection device shall be used to determine that
wireless signals are not transmitted by the EUT in the operating frequencies or wavelengths identified by the
manufacturer for each wireless network connection.
NOTE For determining whether an RF transmitter has been deactivated, an antenna connected to a suitable
measurement instrument (including an RF Spectrum Analyser, RF Fast Fourier Transform analyser, or an RF Receiver)
is used.
6.2.3 Verifying that a wireless network connection is active
A wireless network connection is deemed to be active when it allows the EUT to identify other devices or to
be identified by them by transmitting wireless signals.
6.3 Preparation of the EUT and general testing aspects
The requirements specified in EN 50564:2011, 5.2 shall apply.
6.4 Power management, reactivation, and networked standby power consumption
This clause describes the procedure to test the power management function, measure the network
standby power consumption, and test the reactivation function. This procedure shall
