power: Default to suspend after 20 minutes of inactivity
According to the EU Commission Regulation No 801/2013, amending Regulation (EC) No 1275/2008: " The default period of time after which the power management function, or a similar function, switches the equipment automatically into a condition providing networked standby shall not exceed 20 minutes. " (Full text at: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32013R0801&from=EN ) Though this addition only seems to be applicable to "networked equipment", the original directive and its 2008 "ecodesign" regulation mentions that computers are covered (as "Information technology equipment intended primarily for use in the domestic environment"), and that: " When equipment is not providing the main function, or when other energy-using product(s) are not dependent on its functions, equipment shall, unless inappropriate for the intended use, offer a power management function, or a similar function, that switches equipment after the shortest possible period of time appropriate for the intended use of the equipment, automatically into [standby mode]. " (Full text at: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32008R1275&from=EN) Furthermore, the EnergyStar standard that allows shipping into the USA mentions that, for most computers types: " Sleep Mode shall be set to activate after no more than 30 minutes of user inactivity.
