UL and TUV will accept an amplifer mute and display turn off as an off condition as long as it is done without human intervention at the time of switching, no input power requirement. CSA will not, and has stated that the product should either be disconnected from the mains or the secondary circuitry shall be disconnected and the input power in the off state shall be less than 15W.
