To attend the requirements of this PC it is necessary to compare the chosen equipment for the project with its similars. We are a little confused about what to compare: in the beginning the requirements states that we should use the rated power, although, some lines after, it says that we should compare the equipments based on their continuous mode electrical energy consumption (stand-by mode). Which of them (rated power or stand-by mode) should we use to compare the chosen equipment with their similar?

The requirement is 50% by rated power. Some equipment should be compared in stand-by mode and some at continuous operation. In stand-by mode is just one form of rated power. See the "Credit Specific" section under Bird's Eye View above for the details.
