I think such a label must indicate the maximum current drawn at any given time. Indeed the average must be far below that for it to deserve the judgement "efficient". It's the not feeling any warmt that made me say that. For comparison: my Siemens AL280 DECT phone claims in its specs to use only 1.3W on standby, but it's enough to make the battery area feel warm to the touch (apparently from needless overcharging).
