Description / Abstract:
This standard covers the user interface for the power status
control of electronic devices that ordinary people commonly
interact with in their work and home lives, including, but not
limited to, office equipment and consumer electronics. Key elements
are terms, symbols, and indicators.
This standard does not specify maximum power levels, address
safety issues, or cover internal mechanisms or interfaces for
industrial devices.
Purpose
The purpose of this standard is to accomplish a similarity of
experience of power controls across all electronic devices so that
users will find them easier to use and be more likely to use power
management features that save energy.
