Seems a good guess. https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/raspberry-pi-T;

“The Raspberry Pi 5 is the hottest of all the Raspberry Pi boards we have ever used. At idle, without any added cooling, it sits at around 50.5 degrees Celsius and consumes around 2.7 Watts“

If that were classified as “electrical and electronic household and office equipment”, they could not legally sell that in the EU (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=uriserv%... is not yet in force, but its predecessor already limit standby power usage to under 0.5W)




IANAL, but I think the right comparison for standby power usage would be the power usage in sleep, not in idle.
