Status and Update

The IEC SMB SG1 met 10/30/08 (Orlando) and generally agreed to send the following recommendations to the SMB.

– Related source: SMB-SG1/0027/DC, dated July 2008.

To proactively form the IEC TC100 position, please provide your input to Jean.Baronas@am.sony.com by 12/2/08. Please add as many slides to this presentation as necessary.

Thank you for your time, in advance.

Smart House, IT Equipment and Consumer Electronics

SG1 Recommendation 15c – The TC 100 and TC 108 are to take into account both

standby losses and off-mode losses in their standards. This requires external power supplies (AV/DC converters) to be considered as integral parts of the pertinent appliances. For true zero stand-by and off-mode losses, the power supply shall be completely disconnected from the power grid by appropriate means. (Slightly modified in the 10/30 Orlando meeting. In the Orlando meeting, some participants discussed the need for switches on external power supplies that would allow the use to turn the external power supply off.)

Smart House, IT Equipment and Consumer Electronics

Recommendation 16 – “To review a systematic approach for the design

and evaluation of energy efficiency in networked systems used in homes and buildings.”

– During the Orlando meeting, the “develop” was changed to “review” in Recommendation 16.

– During the Orlando meeting, this Recommendation was interpreted as: “To report on the contribution on energy efficiency in networked systems used in homes and buildings.”

Smart House, IT Equipment and Consumer Electronics

ISO/IEC JTC1 SC25 to: (continuation of recommendation 16)– Consider the revision of ISO/IEC TR 15067-3, which

provides a model of an energy management system for home electronic systems

– Consider the development of guidelines to improve energy efficiency with help of co-operation between different product groups

– Consider the development of an international standard that lists information that supports energy efficiency when conveyed from one product (group) to another product (group)

Smart House, IT Equipment and Consumer Electronics

Continuation of Recommendation 16:– “Similarly, for IT equipment including consumer electronic

products, standardization activities need to be stated/reinforced. Paraphrased from the Orlando meeting: “to report on the contribution to energy efficiency in network systems used in smart houses and buildings.”

The primary affected IEC/TCs of this sector are:– TC 100 “Audio, video and multimedia systems and equipment”– TC 108 “Safety of electronic equipment within the field of

audio/video, information technology and communication technology

– JTC 1 /SC25 “Interconnection of information technology equipment”

– ISO TC 205 (CEN 247) [Added in the Orlando meeting.]

Smart House, IT Equipment and Consumer Electronics

SG1 Recommendation 17 – TC 100 and TC 108 to develop/update International

Standards on measurement procedures for IT equipment and consumer electronics shall be established (or revised, as appropriate), which are the basis for establishing energy consumption / energy efficiency classes.

– In the Orlando meeting (10/30/08), some participants discussed the scopes as follows: TC108 (information technology) and TC100 (multimedia).

Smart House, IT Equipment and Consumer Electronics

SG1 Recommendation 18 (Source: SMB-SG 1/0024/RM)

– TC 100 and TC 108 are to develop/update a harmonized international system of energy consumption classes, for example including a labeling scheme, to determine the energy consumption/energy efficiency of consumer electronic products, such as TV sets, set-top boxes, cable modems, DSL routers etc. (slightly modified in the Orlando meeting)

– During the Orlando meeting (10/30/08), some participants discussed how some nations do not support labeling schemes are part of their dejure standards objectives.
