MEPS
is a regulatory standard for power usage of a product while in Standby
mode. As a commitment to environmental responsibility all Strong Australia
Product are MEPS Compliant.
"The Ministerial Council on Energy (MCE) has resolved that Australia
will expand its commitment to reducing excessive standby by formulating
coordinated product-specific plans to address excessive standby over
ten years, 2002 - 2012, within the umbrella of the IEA "One Watt"
initiative. Within this timeframe, specific product types may be identified
as "at risk" of using excessive standby and will therefore be targeted
for specific action. Each product will then be dealt with in potentially
a two-stage action plan designed to reduce standby to levels acceptable
for that product as quickly as economically viable. The first stage
is development of product profiles for each major product group. Details
of the strategy are outlined in the Ministerial Council on Energy
strategy on standby titled "Money isn't all you're saving"."
