This preparatory study focuses on standby and off-mode losses and aims to recommend ways to reduce these losses in EuPs. It will constitute the first step in considering whether and which eco-design requirements should be set to address standby and off-mode losses in EuPs.

An overview of the Lot 6 study and its tasks, following the structure of the MEEuP methodology, is presented in the following figure.

The consortium in charge of the project, spanning a broad spectrum of expertise from technological know-how to environmental background, market and consumer analysis, guarantees a proper performance of the foreseen tasks.

The project implementation includes a wide consultancy and cooperation with industry federations and representatives.

The close cooperation with all relevant stakeholders is the basis to having access to relevant data and technological developments as well as having a thorough feedback on project findings in an early stage.

Due to the strong credibility and experience of our consortium partners and the relationships built over the years with a wide variety of stakeholders such as EEE industry (including SMEs), material producers, environmental and consumer NGOs, industry/business associations, academic institutions, and Member States, we have access to pertinent data and information in the framework of a confidence-based collaboration. An efficient exchange of such information is ensured through this website and stakeholders meetings organised during the course of the study.
