Yes, that's what I was referring to.  ...but I couldn't tell you whether that affects cell phones or not.  I suspect battery-operated devices are exempt, but I have no direct information outside of the article I read (which is probably the same one you found in Google).

Power Management)



In the course of today's call, someone (it sounded like Len Brown, but I
never heard participant names, so I don't know if he was on the call)
talked about new regulations in the UK that would mandate that devices
be truly off when turned off.

Poking around quickly on Google, the only thing I came up with was a
government Energy Review that proposed rules that devices not have a
user-accessible standby mode and that devices have a 1-watt maximum
power drain when turned off.

Is that what was referred to, or is there more detail that could be
pointed at and more stringent requirements?  I'm trying to figure out
whether this is something that would perturb my own domain (cell phones)
or that just applies to more power-hungry devices...

thanks,
scott
