Energy Standby Program

This is a system that encourages the adoption of power-saving modes during idle times, minimizes standby power, and allows energy-saving marks to be voluntarily displayed on products that meet standby power reduction standards. Products that do not meet these standards are required to display a warning label.

Energy Standards and Labeling Program

This system involves labeling products with an energy efficiency grade label (grades 1 to 5) based on their energy consumption efficiency. It also prohibits the production and sale of products that do not meet the minimum energy efficiency standards.

High-Efficiency Equipment Certification Program

An initiative by the Korea Energy Agency to promote the development of high-efficiency products, certifying products that meet energy consumption efficiency standards above a certain threshold.
