Standby power reduction program

Power saving test overview

To proliferate the use of power-saving equipment, the central government, local governments, their subordinate organizations (including educational institutions), agencies, or organizations that are funded or invested by the central government or local governments are the first ones to adopt such equipment. (The product which has been registered as a power-saving type product shall have an energy-saving mark attached.)

Legal basis of the program

  • The Act on Rationalization of Energy Use
  • The Rules on Promoting the Use of Power-Saving Office Equipment and Home Appliances

The power-saving products and the scope of application

Fields Scope of application
1. Computers The computers of which the rated wattage of the power supply is no more than 1,000W. These are mainly used in commercial or household applications, including personal computers, laptops, and all-in-one type computers. However, servers, work stations, and standby remote-support computers are not included.
2. Monitors The electronic products that are composed of the display screens which can display the information output from a computer utilizing one or more input terminals, such as the VGA or DVI (including CRT, LCD, and PDPs) and the related peripherals, where the total wattage is no more than 1,000W. They include the products which primarily function as monitors but can equally be used as TVs since they have both the features of a monitor and a TV. However, they do not include the monitors in an all-in-one type computer, network monitors, or monitors with special functions such as VoIP.
3. Printers A printer is a machine that prints the data which it received from a computer or other storage media onto a hard-copy media, where the wattage shall not be more than 3,000W and the type of the product is one of the standard technologies specified in Table 2, namely heat-sensing, dye-sublimation, electronic photography, heat projection, solid ink, or an ink-jet method. However, the printers that use a continuous roll of paper, a printer with its own server, or printers that can print more than 2,000 pages at one go are not included.
4. Fax machines A machine which scans an original physical document to send it via the Internet or the phone lines and receives so-transmitted signals to print them back into a physical document, where the rated wattage is not more than 3,000W and the type of the product is one of the standard technologies specified in Table 2, namely heat-sensing, dye-sublimation, electronic photography, heat projection, solid ink, or an ink-jet method. They also include the all-in-one models that can also be used as a printer, as well.
5. Copiers A machine that makes copies of a document or a picture, etc., of which the rated wattage is no more than 5,000W, and the type of the product is one of the standard technologies in Table 2, namely heat sensing, dye-sublimation, electronic photography, heat projection, or solid ink. This category includes digital copies with expanded functions with upgrades, covering most of the functions of a printer, fax machine, or scanner by adding more devices. However, larger copying machines that are designed to have a speed (rpm) of 60 or more to print a large number of documents or used for commercial printing services (with commercial RIP or other printing devices attached) are not included.
6. Scanners An electronic, optical device which is used to convert colored or grayscale visual information into an electronic image that can be stored, edited, converted, or transmitted in a computer environment, where the rated wattage is no more than 1,000W. Multi-purpose desktop scanners (with paper feeders or film scanners) and advanced office document scanning systems included.
7. All-in-ones Multi-function visual output device which has the functions of a copier, printer, fax machine, and scanner, etc., in a single piece of the machine where the rated wattage is no more than 5,000W and the type of the product is one of the standard technologies in Table 2, namely heat sensing, dye-sublimation, electronic photography, heat projection, or solid ink. However, larger copying machines that are designed to have a speed (rpm) of 60 or more to print a large number of documents or used for commercial printing services (with commercial RIP or other printing devices attached) are not included.
8. Automatic power-saving control devices An automatic standby power saving service outlets or power bar that can kill the standby power of the connected electronics by sensing the brightness level of the environment, on a timer, or by sensing the activation of other devices. However, parts, or other devices that are not easily mounted by the user are not included.
9. Adapters A DC power source (AC-DC) or AC-AC power source that is used to serve as the external power supply of a nameplate rated output of 150W with a single output voltage. These are mainly used as an external power source for a laptop, computer speaker, LCD monitor, printer, PDA, camcorder, digital camera, audio, DVD player, MP3 player, portable CD players, set-top box, or wired/wireless phones, etc. However, those that are not of a single output voltage, such as an adapter, DC-DC power source, or chargers, which allows the charging of an external power source, where the external power source has built-in charging function, are not included.
10. Television An electronic which is composed of a monitor, tuner, and receiver, where the rated wattage is no more than 1,000W. Normally, the monitor is a CRT, LCD, PDP, or other types of displays, while the machine also has the function to receive the TV broadcasting signals using an antenna, satellite, or cable to display such images. The TV is the main function, while its function can also be extended to serve as a monitor for a computer (as the product has a computer input port) while still being sold as a TV. They include TV monitors, component televisions, all-in-one video/TVs, all-in-one TV/DVDs, or all-in-one TV/video/DVDs. However, those that are classified as a TV receiver with special features such as the OCAP or IP are not included.
11. Videotape recorders An electronic product that can play the information stored in a video cassette or record the signal is received from an external source into such media, where the rated wattage is no more than 150W. They include the all-in-one DVD and videos.
12. Audios The electronics that record or play the audio band signals that are played through headphones, speakers, or voice signal converters (video signals are not included), where the rated wattage is no more than 1,000W. They include cassette decks, CD players/changers, CD recorders, equalizers, mini-components, midi-components, speakers, stereo amps, and stereo receivers. However, radio-cassette layers are not included, while all-in-one audio/DVDs are included.
13. DVD players Digital multi-function disc players. They are electronics that record or play the video signals that are digitalized on a rotating, reflecting disc, where the rated wattage is no more than 150W.
14. Radio-cassette players A radio cassette player is a machine that combines a radio receiver, cassette player, or a CD player within a single casing, where the rated wattage is no more than 1,000W. Only those that are recognized as radio receivers according to the Act on Electrical Product Safety Management, along with portable cassette players, shall be included in this category.
15. Microwave ovens Household-purpose microwaves of which the rated wattage is no more than 2,000W.

Door phone A machine that functions to allow communication between an indoor device and an outdoor device, along with additional features such as the communication of video images, closing and opening of the door, communication to the security guard offices, security control, fire prevention (gas, fire,) and other useful functions, where the rated wattage is no more than 100W. The door phones, which can function as wall-pads or web-pads, are included.
19. Wired or wireless phones The telephones which are used to exchange voice signals, with a rated wattage that is no more than 150W and using AC power. These are devices or combinations of devices that are connected to the internal telephone lines or network cables to allow telephone calls, network control, playing signals, and other basic features, along with some advanced features such as automatic answering, caller ID, speakerphone, or charging of portable devices. They include wired phones, wired/wireless phones, wireless phones, wireless/wireless phones, or VoIP phones. However, the phones that do not use external power sources, USB-type phones, mobile devices that use the charges for mobile phones, wireless relays without voice calls, or video-phones are not included.
