Standby Power <1W by 2010

Voluntary declaration

PC, TV, etc(20 Appliances)

Mandatory Labeling Attachment Product not meeting MEPS - Prohibition from production and sales Refrigerator, Washing machine, Automobile, etc(18 Appliances)

※ MEPS : Minimum Energy Performance Standard



The Core of Efficiency Standards and Labeling Program

- Mandatory declaration

- Mandatory Attachment of Efficiency grade Label from 1st to 5th .

- The product should meet MEPS(5th grade).

- Legal basis : Regulation on machinery and materials subject to efficiency management (MOCIE)

- Target Product(18 Appliances)

: Refrigerators, Air Conditioners, Washing machines,

Drum washing machines, Dish washers, Coolers,

Vacuum cleaners, Gas boilers, CFLs, Ballasts, etc

High Efficiency Certification ProgramHigh Efficiency Certification Program

Promotion of high efficiency equipment for Industry and Building

- Voluntary declaration

- Issue high efficiency equipment label and high efficiency certificate

- Legal basis

: Regulation on high efficiency equipment dissemination promotion (MOCIE))

- Target Product(18 Appliances) : Induction Motors, 26mm32W Fluorescent Lamps,

Compact Fluorescent Lamps, Pumps,

Sensor Lighting Equipment, Industrial Gas Boilers,

Vending Machine, etc (34 Appliances)


E-Standby ProgramE-Standby Program

- Voluntary declaration : based on self-testing of manufacturer

- attach energy saving label

- Legal basis : E-Standby Program Application Regulation (MOCIE)

- Target appliances (20 appliances)

: Office Equipments : PC, Monitor, Printer, External Power Supply, etc.

: Consumer Electronics : TV, Set Top Box, VCR, electric toilet seats, etc.

The standby power of all products ≤ 1 watt by 2010


2. 2. Programs supporting high efficiency appliancesPrograms supporting high efficiency appliances

Public Procurement Service

- should purchase high efficiency appliances with top priority : Energy efficiency 1st grade product, energy saving product, renewable certificate equipment

Mandatory use of public organization - High efficiency certificate product in public building

- Energy saving product in public office.

Mandatory use of High efficiency lighting product

in specified new building

- Target appliances : Associated ballast, Fluorescent lamps ballasts, Incandescent lamp,

4. Standby 1W Program 4. Standby 1W Program

※ Standby Power = Power Vampire - consume power when the product isn’t operate.

: consume average power 3.66W for 300 Million products.

- 11% of total household energy consumption (306kWh)

- wasting 476 billion (4,600GWh) in a national total

Declaration of Standby Power to below 1W - Prime Minister (2004.11.12) : “The standby power of all electronic products shall be reduced to

below 1W by 2010”

The standby power of all products ≤ 1 watt by 2010
