The power consumption of the off mode (P_o), standby mode (P_sm) and where applicable delay start (P_ds) are measured. The measured values are expressed in W and rounded to two decimal places.

During measurement of the power consumption in low power modes, the following shall be checked and recorded:

• the display or not of information;

• the activation or not of a network connection.

If a household washing machine or a household washer-dryer provides for a wrinkle guard function, this operation shall be interrupted by opening the household washing machine or household washer-dryer door, or any other appropriate intervention 15 minutes before the measurement of energy consumption.
