Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

Directive 89/336/EEC

The low voltage and electromagnetic compatibility Directives, as well as the Regulation

on standby and off mode power consumption (see below), are the most relevant to

coffee machines that apply to electrical and electronic equipment.

2.4.2.1 Standby and off-mode power consumption - Commission Regulation

(EC) No 1275/2008 of 17 December 2008

Since January 2010 the Eco-design Regulation for standby and off mode

consumption

is in force and requires coffee machines to have a standby consumption

of no more than 1.0 W (with display 2 W)

. The maximal delay from the last activity is

not yet defined. From 2013 the limits will be 0.5 W (with display 1 W) and the products

must have a power management function switching to a standby or off mode “after the

shortest possible period of time appropriate for the intended use of the equipment”. For

non-tertiary coffee machines, auto-power-down will therefore be a need. Topten.eu

requires a maximal delay time (factory setting) of 30 minutes for portioned machines

(high and low pressure), 60 minutes for fully automatic machines and semi-automatic

portafilter coffee machines and 60 minutes for drip-filter machines without thermos jug.

2.4.2.2 European Regulation on Energy Related Products (ERP Directive)

In 2005, the Energy Using Products (EuP) Directive, sometimes also called the

Ecodesign-directive was adopted (2005/32/EC)

. A major goal of the directive is to

For non-tertiary coffee machines there is no need to display any information in standby mode. This

was one of our statements made in the EEDAL-paper 2011. I’m not sure whether all manufacturers

would share this oppinion.
