Summary

This report summarises the results of in-store standby measurements for some 946 new household appliances that were undertaken in November 2005 and June 2006. The results are summarised by product group and are compared with readings undertaken in similar surveys between 2001 and 2005. These six in-store surveys are part of a longer term benchmarking program and results need to be viewed in this light. The Equipment Energy Efficiency Committee (E₃ Committee) proposes to continue undertaking similar surveys in future years to assess industry progress in reducing standby consumption of appliances.

Also available is an Interim report which summarised measurements for 568 new household appliances undertaken in November 2005. This constituted the first half of measurements; the second half of the study resulted in the comprehensive final report.
