Table 8 Summary of Testing Standards and Energy Efficiency Programs
Summary − International Standards and Programs
Testing standards are now available for standby power measurement, but no standards
currently exist for energy consumption in-use.
Voluntary programs such as Energy Star only target standby energy use. The Energy
Efficiency Index promoted in Europe covers in-use mode and at least 20% of European
sets comply.
Any New Zealand MEPS scheme should be compatible with any overseas obligatory
programs such as Japan’s “Top Runner” initiative.
