Electronic displays which can operate in both 2D and 3D modes shall be tested when they operate in 2D mode.An electronic display which is split into two or more physically separate units, but placed on the market in a single package, shall, for checking the conformity with the requirements of this Annex, be treated as a single electronic display. Where multiple electronic displays that can be placed on the market separately are combined in a single system, the individual electronic displays shall be treated as single displays.1.General conditionsMeasurements shall be made at an ambient temperature of 23 °C +/- 5 °C.2.Measurements of on mode power demandMeasurements of the power demand referred to in Annex II, point A (1) shall fulfil all of the following conditions:(a)measurements of power demand (Pmeasured) shall be made in the normal configuration;(b)measurements shall be made using a dynamic broadcast-content video signal representing typical broadcast content for electronic displays in standard dynamic range (SDR). The measurement shall be the average power consumed over 10 consecutive minutes;(c)measurements shall be made after the electronic display has been in the off mode or, if an off-mode is not available, in standby mode, for a minimum of 1 hour immediately followed by a minimum of 1 hour in the on mode and shall be completed before a maximum of 3 hours in on-mode.

For the purposes of these Transitional Measurement Methods a standardised DC input is solely one compatible with the various forms of USB power delivery.Video Signals NotesThe 10-minute Dynamic Broadcast video sequence described in existing relevant standards shall be replaced with an updated 10-minute Dynamic Broadcast video sequence. This is available for download at: https://circabc.europa.eu/ui/group/1582d77c-d930-4c0d-b163-4f67e1d42f5b/library/23ab249b-6ebc-4f45-9b0e-df07bc61a596?p=1&n=10&sort=modified_DESC. Two files are available, in SD and HD. They are respectively titled "SD Dynamic Video Power.mp4", and "HD Dynamic Video Power.mp4". SD resolution is made available for the limited types of display that cannot accept or display higher resolution standards. The HD resolution file is used for all other display resolutions since this closely matches the average picture level (APL) of the current IEC HD dynamic broadcast dynamic test sequence described in existing relevant standards.Upscaling from HD to higher native resolution shall be performed by the Unit Under Test (UUT) and not by an external device. Where upscaling has to be performed by an external device the full details of the device and the signal interface with the UUT shall be recorded.The data signal from the downloaded file storage system to the UUT digital signal interface shall be confirmed to provide peak white and full black video levels. If the file playback system has special picture optimisation features (e.g. deep blacks or enhanced colour processing) these shall be disabled. For repeatability of measurement purposes, the details of the file storage and playback system shall be recorded as well as the type of digital interface with the UUT (e.g. HDMI, DVI etc.) The power measurement P measured is an average value from the full 10-minute length of the dynamic test sequence, taken with ABC disabled.
PmeasuredHigh dynamic range (HDR)on-mode "normal"(auto mode switching to HDR)	No existing relevant standard is published so far.Following the Pmeasured (SDR) dynamic test sequence measurement two HDR dynamic test sequences shall be played.These 5-minute sequences are rendered in HD resolution only, in the common HDR standards of HLG and HDR10. Upscaling from HD to a higher native display resolution shall be performed by the UUT and not an external device. Where upscaling has to be performed by an external device the full details of the device and the signal interface with the UUT shall be recorded.These files are available for download at: https://circabc.europa.eu/ui/group/1582d77c-d930-4c0d-b163-4f67e1d42f5b/library/38df374d-f367-4b72-93d6-3f48143ad661?p=1&n=10&sort=modified_DESCand have identical programme content. The files are respectively titled "HDR-HLG Power.mp4" and "HDR_HDR10 Power.mp4"It is essential that the UUT switch to the HDR display mode is confirmed in the picture settings menu before power data is logged. The integrated power measurement for each sequence (Pav) shall be summed and halved for the calculation of the label HDR energy efficiency class and label HDR power declaration.If the UUT cannot be tested in one of these HDR formats, this shall be noted and the power declared shall be the Pav measured for the HDR format that is supported.An ABC allowance does not apply in HDR display mode.Pmeasured HDR = 0.5 * (Pav HLG + Pav HDR10)If one of these HDR display modes is not supported, the measured numerical value of (Pav HLG) or (Pav HDR10) as appropriate, shall be used for Label VII and Label VIII declarations.
Screen Luminance Measurement for automatic brightness control (ABC) control characteristics evaluation and any other peak white luminance measurement requirement.	No existing relevant standards can be used.A new variant of the "box and outline" dynamic test pattern providing a dynamic format with colour shall be used for all peak white display luminance measurements and not the 3-bar black and white pattern.A set of these variant dynamic test patterns, which combine the box and outline format and VESA L10 to L80 white measurement box format shall be used as described in Section 1.2.4. of Annex IIIa and are available for download at: https://circabc.europa.eu/ui/group/1582d77c-d930-4c0d-b163-4f67e1d42f5b/library/4f4b47a4-c078-49c4-a859-84421fc3cf5e?p=1&n=10&sort=modified_DESC. They are contained in the subfolders labelled SD, HD and UHD. Each subfolder contains eight peak white dynamic test patterns from L10 to L80. A resolution may be chosen according to the native resolution and signal compatibility of the UUT. The selection of a pattern with the appropriate resolution shall be based upon a) the minimum required white box dimensions for correct operation of the contact luminance measuring instrument and b) the fact that no power limiting effect exhibited by the UUT (large areas of white may result in a reduction of peak white levels). Any upscaling shall be performed by the UUT and not an external device. The data signal from the downloaded file storage system to the UUT digital signal interface shall be confirmed to provide peak white and full black video levels and have no other video enhancement processing (e.g. deep blacks / colour enhancement) Both the storage system and signal interface type shall be noted. For displays tested using a USB, or USB compatible data interface with the feature of power delivery, both the UUT and USB connected signal source shall operate from their own power source with the data path only connected..
Measurements related to ABC for "Allowances and adjustments for the purposes of the EEI calculation and functional requirements"	The methodology for ABC ambient light source set-up and luminance control as specified in existing standards shall not be used for the purposes of ABC related measurements for this regulation. The methodology to be used is detailed in Section 1.2.5. of Annex IIIa.
Peak white luminance ratio	No existing relevant standards can be used.The "box and outline" dynamic test pattern selected for the ABC peak white luminance measurements (Annex III.a Section 1.2.4) shall be used to measure the peak white luminance of the "normal configuration" with ABC on. If this is less than 150 cd/m2 for monitors or 220 cd/m2 for other display products, then a further measurement shall be made of the peak white luminance of the brightest pre-set configuration in the user menu (not the shop configuration). ABC need not be on for the luminance ratio measurements but the status of the ABC (on or off) shall apply to both measurements. Where ABC is on, the illuminance shall be 100lux for both measurements. Care shall be taken to ensure that the dynamic test pattern selected for peak white luminance measurement in the "normal configuration" does not cause luminance instability in the brightest pre-set configuration. A smaller peak white box pattern shall be selected for both measurements if instability occurs.

1.1.Summary of order of testing1.Setup UUT on a stand identifying location of Auto Brightness Control (ABC) sensor where applicable and position display luminance and ambient light measuring instruments.2.Run through initial setup confirming correct implementation of forced menu warnings and default settings of "normal configuration".3.Mute Audio where applicable.4.Continue warm-up of sample while setting up test equipment and identifying peak white dynamic test pattern providing stable display luminance and power measurement.5.If the ABC allowance is claimed, determine the illumination range and the ABC latency required for the sample. Profile the ABC of display luminance between 100 lux and 12 lux ambient light levels and measure on-mode power reduction between those limits. To provide detailed profiling of the ABC influence on power and display luminance, the ambient illumination range may be divided into several steps from just above the 100 lux illumination datum point (e.g. 120 lux) through 60 lux, 35 lux and 12 lux to the darkest level allowed by the test environment. For Digital Signage Displays (DSD) additional profiling may be recorded up to daylight illuminance levels of 20000 lux for data gathering for future reviews of the Regulation.6.Measure peak luminance in the normal configuration. If this is less than 150 cd/m2 for a monitor or 220 cd/m2 for other display types, also measure the peak luminance of the brightest pre-set configuration in the user menu (not the shop configuration).7.Measure the on-mode power using the SDR dynamic broadcast video sequence with ABC disabled. Measure the on-mode power using the HDR dynamic broadcast video sequences confirming that HDR mode has been triggered (confirmed by display notification at start of HDR playback and / or change in normal configuration picture settings).8.Measure the power requirement of low power and off modes and the time required by the automatic power down functions to take effect.1.2.Details of testing1.2.1.UUT (display) and measuring instrument set upFigure 1: Physical set up of Display and ambient light sourceIf ABC function is available and the UUT is supplied with a stand this shall be attached to the display part and the UUT placed on a horizontal table or platform of at least 0,75 metres height covered in a black low reflectivity material (typical materials are felt, fleece or canvas theatrical backdrop). All parts of the stand shall remain exposed. Displays intended primarily for wall mounting shall be frame mounted for ease of access with the lower edge of the display at least 0,75 metres from the floor. The floor surface under the display and up to 0,5 metres in front of the display must not be highly reflective and ideally covered in black, low reflectivity material.The physical location of the UUT ABC sensor shall be determined and measured coordinates of that location, relative to a fixed point outside the UUT, noted. The distances H and D as well as the projector beam angle (see Figure 1) shall be noted to aid repeatability of measurements. Depending on, the light source illuminance level requirements the distances H&D shall normally be equal ± 5mm and measure between 1,5 m to 3 m. For the projector beam angle adjustment, a black slide with a small white centre box can be used to focus at the ABC sensor and provide a narrow beam of light for angular measurement. If an ABC sensor is designed to work optimally with an illuminance beam angle outside the 45 o recommended, this preferred angle may be employed and the details recorded. Where a non-contact (distant location) luminance meter is used with a low beam angle for the light source, care shall be taken to ensure that the source is not reflected in the area of the display used for luminance measurement.An illuminance meter shall be mounted as close as possible to the ABC sensor, taking precautions to avoid reflections of ambient light from the meter casing entering the sensor. This may be achieved by various methods in combination, including shrouding the illuminance meter in black felt and facilitating an adjustable mechanical mounting which does not allow the meter casing to protrude beyond the front of the ABC sensor.The following proven procedure is recommended for an accurate and repeatable logging of ABC sensor illuminance levels with a minimum of mechanical mounting challenges. This procedure allows correction for any illuminance error introduced by the practical impossibility of mounting the illuminance meter at exactly the same physical position as the ABC sensor for simultaneous illumination. The procedure thus allows simultaneous illumination of the ABC sensor and illumination meter without physical disturbance of the UUT and meter after set-up. With appropriate logging software, the required step changes in illuminance can be synchronised to on-mode power measurement and display luminance measurement to automatically log and profile the ABC.The illuminance meter shall be located a few centimetres away from the ABC sensor to ensure that direct reflections of the projector beam, from the meter casing, cannot enter the ABC sensor. The illuminance meter detector horizontal axis shall be on the same horizontal axis as the ABC sensor with the meter vertical axis strictly parallel to the display vertical plane. The physical coordinates of the meter mounting point relative to the fixed external point used to record the physical location of the ABC sensor shall be measured and noted.The projector shall be mounted in a position with the axis of its projected beam in line with a vertical plane perpendicular to the display surface and running through the vertical axis of the ABC sensor (see Figure 1). The projector platform height, tilt and distance from the UUT shall be adjusted to allow a full frame peak white projected image to focus on an area covering the ABC sensor and illuminance meter whilst delivering the maximum ambient illumination level (lux) required at the sensor for testing. In this context it shall be noted that some Digital Signage Displays have ABC operative in ambient light conditions from up to 20000 lux to below 100 lux.The contact luminance meter for display luminance measurement shall be rigged to align with the centre of the UUT screen.The projected illuminance image overlapping the horizontal surface below the UUT display shall not extend beyond the vertical plane of the display unless a reflective stand encroaches into a larger forward area than this, in which case the edge of the image shall be aligned with the extremities of the stand (see Figure 1). The top horizontal edge of the projected image shall not be less than 1 cm below the lower edge of the contact luminance meter shroud. This may be achieved by optical adjustment or the physical positioning of the projector, within the constraints of the required 45o beam angle and the required maximum illuminance at the ABC sensor.With the UUT and illuminance meter position coordinates noted and the projector producing a stable illuminance within the range to be measured (normally stability is achieved a few minutes from switch-on with solid state lamp engines) the UUT shall be moved sufficiently to allow the illuminance meter front face and detector centre to be aligned with the physical position coordinates noted for the UUT ABC sensor. The illuminance measured at this point shall be noted and the meter returned to its original set-up position along with the UUT. The illuminance shall be measured again at the set-up position. The percentage difference between the illuminance measured at the two test positions (if any) may be applied in final reporting as a correction factor to all further illuminance measurements (this correction factor does not change with illuminance level). This provides an accurate data set for the illuminance at the ABC sensor even though the lux measuring instrument is not situated at that point and allows the simultaneous plotting of display luminance, power and illuminance to accurately profile the ABC.No further physical changes shall be made to the test set up.Unlike televisions, digital signage displays may have more than one ambient light sensor. For testing purposes, the technician shall determine a single sensor to be utilised in the test, eliminating the other light sensors by obscuring them with opaque tape. Unwanted sensors may also be disabled if control is provided to do so. In most instances the most suitable sensor to use would be a front-facing one. Measurement methods for digital signage displays with multiple light sensors may be explored further as a test method refinement to be qualified in a harmonised standard.For test laboratories preferring to use a dimmable lamp source instead of a projector light source in the described test set up, the following lamp specification shall apply and the measured lamp characteristics recorded.The light source used for illuminating the ABC sensor to specific illuminance levels shall use a dimmable LED reflector lamp and shall have a diameter of 90 mm ± 5 mm. The rated beam angle of the lamp shall be 40 ° ± 5 °. The rated correlated colour temperature (CCT) shall be 2700 K ± 300 K throughout the illuminance range 12 lux to the peak illuminance required for testing. The rated colour rendering index (CRI) shall be 80 ± 3. The front surface of the lamp shall be clear (i.e., not coloured or coated with a spectrum modifying material) and may have a smooth or granular front surface; when shined against a uniform white surface, the diffusion pattern shall appear smooth to the naked eye. The lamp assembly shall not modify the spectrum of the LED source, including the IR and UV bands. The characteristics of the light shall not vary across the full range of dimming required for the ABC testing.1.2.2.Check of correct implementation of "normal configuration" and energy impact warnings.A power meter shall be connected to the UUT for observation purposes and at least one video signal source provided. During this test the persistence of ABC in all other pre-set configurations, except "shop configuration" shall be confirmed.1.2.3.Audio SettingAn input signal shall be provided containing audio and video (the 1 kHz tone on the SDR video power test material is ideal) The sound volume setting shall be reduced to a zero-display indication, or a mute control activated. It must be confirmed that activation of the mute control has no effect on "normal configuration" picture parameters.1.2.4.Identifying the peak white luminance pattern for peak white luminance measurementsWhen a UUT displays a peak white pattern, the display may quickly dim within the first few seconds and gradually dim until stable. This makes it impossible to measure, in a consistent and repeatable way, power and luminance values, immediately after the image is displayed. In order to have repeatable measurements, some level of stability must be achieved. Testing on displays using current technology indicates that 30 seconds shall be sufficient time to allow for luminance stability of a peak white image. As a practical observation, this time window also allows for any on-screen status display to disappear.Current display products often have built-in electronics and display drive software to protect the display power supply from being over-driven and the screen from suffering persistence (burn-in) by limiting total power to the screen. This can result in a limited luminance and limited power consumption when displaying, for example a large area of white dynamic test pattern.In this test methodology, the measurement of peak luminance is made while displaying a 100% white dynamic test pattern, but the area of white is empirically limited to avoid the triggering of protection mechanisms. The appropriate dynamic test pattern is determined by displaying the range of eight "box and outline" dynamic test patterns based on VESA "L" dynamic test patterns from smallest (L 10) to largest (L 80), while recording power and screen luminance. A graph of power and screen luminance vs L pattern shall assist in determining if and when display drive limiting is occurring. For example, if power consumption is increasing from L 10 to L 60, while luminance is either increasing or constant (not decreasing) then those patterns are not appearing to cause limiting. If dynamic test pattern L 70 indicates no increase in power consumption or luminance (where there was an increase in previous L patterns), this would indicate that limiting is occurring at L 70 or between L 60 and L 70. It may also be that limiting has occurred between L 50 and L60 and the graphed points at L 60 were in fact sloping downward. Therefore, the largest pattern where we are sure no limiting occurs is L 50 and this is the correct pattern to use for the peak luminance measurement. Where a luminance ratio has to be declared, the selection of the luminance pattern shall be made in the brightest pre-set setting. If the UUT is known to have display luminance drive characteristics which do not allow the selection of an optimum, peak-white-luminance dynamic test pattern by the above selection procedure the following simplified selection process may be employed. For displays equal to or greater than 15,24 cm (6 inches) and less than 30,48 cm (12 inches) diagonally, the L 40 PeakLumMotion signal shall be used. For displays greater than or equal to 30,48 cm (12 inches) diagonally, the L 20 PeakLumMotion signal shall be used. The dynamic peak white luminance dynamic test pattern selected by either procedure shall be declared and used for all luminance testing.1.2.5.Determination of ABC ambient light control range and latency of ABC action.For the purposes of Regulation (EU) 2019/2021, an ABC power allowance is provided in the EEI declaration if the ABC control characteristic meets specific requirements of display luminance control between ambient light levels of 100 lux and 12 lux with datum points of 60 lux and 35 lux. The change in display luminance between 100 lux and 12 lux ambient light change must provide at least 20 % decrease in display power requirement for conformance with the regulation ABC power allowance. The dynamic luminance "L" dynamic test pattern used to assess ABC luminance control conformance may also be simultaneously used to assess the power reduction conformance.For digital signage displays, a much wider range of ABC control with illuminance change may apply and the test methodology described here may be extended to gather data for future revisions of the Regulation.1.2.5.1ABC Latency ProfilingThe latency of the ABC control function is the time delay between the ambient light change sensed at the ABC detector and the resulting change in UUT display luminance. Testing data has shown that this delay can be as long as 60 seconds and this must be taken into account when profiling ABC control. For latency estimation, the 100 lux slide (see 1.2.5.2), at a stable display luminance condition, is switched to the 60 lux slide and the time interval required to achieve a stable lower display luminance level recorded. At the lower stable luminance level, the 60 lux slide is switched to the 100 lux slide and the time interval to achieve a stable higher luminance level noted. The higher value of time interval is the one used for latency with a discretional 10 seconds added. This is saved as the slide show projection period for each slide.1.2.5.2Light Source Illumination ControlFor ABC profiling, a peak white dynamic test pattern as identified in 1.2.4 is displayed on the UUT, as the brightness of the light source is altered from white through a range of grey slides to simulate ambient illumination changes. For illumination level control the first slide grey transparency is altered to achieve the starting point of the profiling (e.g. 120 lux) by measuring the lux level at the illuminance meter. The slide is saved and copied. A new grey transparency level is set for the copy to the required datum point of 100 lux and the slide saved and copied. The process is repeated for the datum points of 60 lux, 35 lux and 12 lux. A black (0 % transparency) illuminance slide can be added here for data plotting symmetry and the datum point slides copied and introduced in ascending illumination order back to 120 lux.1.2.5.3Light Source Colour Temperature ControlA further requirement is to set a colour temperature for the white point of the projected light to ensure repeatability of test data if a different projector light source is used for verification purposes. For this test methodology a white point colour temperature of 2700K ± 300K is specified for consistency with ABC methodology in earlier test standards.This white point is readily set in any major computer application for slide creation by the use of a suitable colour solid fill (e.g. Red/Orange) and transparency adjustment. With these tools the normally colder projector white point may be adjusted to the 2700K suggested, by altering the transparency of the selected colour whilst measuring colour temperature via a function of the illuminance meter. Once the required temperature is achieved it is applied to all slides.1.2.5.4Data RecordingThe power consumption, screen luminance and illuminance at the ABC sensor are measured and logged during the slide show. This data must correlate with time. Data points for three parameters must be logged in order to relate power consumption, to screen luminance and illuminance of the ABC sensor. Any number of slides can be created between datum points for high granularity of data within the constraints of available test time duration.For DSD designed to operate in a wide range of ambient lighting conditions the operating range of the ABC control over display luminance can be manually established with the black transparency control operating on a single projected slide of peak white pre-set to the required colour temperature. The recommended pre-set configuration of the DSD for a wide range of ambient light operating conditions shall be selected from the user menu. At a stable display luminance point the projected slide shall be switched from 0 % to 100 % black transparency to establish the latency period. This shall then be applied to slide grey transparency steps from black to a point where no change occurs in display luminance to establish the operating range of the ABC. A slide show can then be created in the granularity required to profile that range.1.2.6.Display luminance measurementsWith ABC enabled and 100 lux ambient light level measured at the illuminance meter, the UUT shall display the selected peak white luminance pattern (see 1.2.4) at a stable luminance. For Regulation conformance, luminance measurement shall confirm that the display luminance level is 220 cd/m2 or more for all display categories other than monitors. For monitors, a conformance level of 150 cd/m2or more is required. For displays without ABC or devices that do not claim the ABC allowance, measurements may be made without the ambient light part of the test rig.For those displays which by design intention have a declared display peak white luminance level, in the normal configuration, of less than the conformance requirement of 220 cd/m2or 150 cd/m2, as applicable, a further peak white measurement shall be made in the pre-set viewing configuration providing the highest measured peak white luminance. For Regulation conformance the calculated ratio of the normal viewing configuration peak white luminance measurement and the highest peak white luminance measurement shall be 65 % or greater. This is declared as the "luminance ratio".For those UUT with ABC that can be switched off a further Conformance test shall be conducted in the normal configuration. The stabilised peak white luminance pattern shall be displayed in the measured 100 lux ambient illumination condition. It shall be confirmed that the UUT power requirement, measured with ABC on, is the same as or less than the power requirement measured at a stabilised luminance with ABC off. If the measured power is not the same, the mode which yields the highest measured power shall be used for on mode power.1.2.7.Measurement of on-mode powerFor each of the UUT powering systems covered below, SDR power shall be measured in the normal configuration, using the HD version of the 10 minute "SDR dynamic video power test" file, unless input signal compatibility is restricted to SD. The file source and UUT input interface shall be confirmed to be capable of delivering full black and full white video data levels. Any upscaling of HD video resolution to the native resolution of the UUT display must be processed by the UUT and not an external device where the UUT allows this. If an external device must be used to achieve upscaling to the native resolution of the UUT then details of that device and its interface with the UUT shall be recorded. The power declaration is the average power determined during the playback of the full 10-minute file.HDR power, where the function applies, is measured using the two 5-minute HDR files "HDR-HLG power" and "HDR- HDR10 power". If one of these HDR modes is not supported, HDR power shall be declared on the supported mode.Test instrumentation characteristics and test conditions as detailed in relevant standards apply to all power testing.Product warm up with current UUT display technology need not be protracted and is most conveniently conducted with the dynamic peak white luminance dynamic test pattern identified in section 1.2.4 above. When power readings are stable with the UUT displaying this pattern power measurements with the SDR and HDR dynamic video power test files may commence.Where a product has ABC, this shall be switched off. If it cannot be switched off the product shall be tested in the 100 lux measured ambient light conditions described in section 1.2.5 above.For UUT intended for use on AC mains including those using a standardised DC input but with an external power supply (EPS) provided packaged with the UUT, on-mode power shall be measured at the AC supply point.(a)For UUT with a standardised DC input (only USB-compatible power delivery standards apply) power measurement shall be made at the DC input. This is facilitated by a USB break out unit (BOU) which maintains the data path of the supply connector and UUT DC input but interrupts the power delivery path to allow current measurement and Voltage measurement inputs to the power meter. The USB BOU power meter combination must be fully tested to ensure that their design and maintenance condition do not interfere with the cable impedance sensing function of some USB power delivery standards. The power recorded via the USB BOU shall be the power Pmeasured declared for the on-mode power measurement declaration (Ecodesign and Labelling in SDR mode and HDR mode).(b)For unusual UUT covered by the definitions of the Regulation but designed to operate from an internal battery which cannot be bypassed or removed for the required power testing the following methodology is proposed. The caveats for EPS and standardised DC input detailed above apply in the choice of AC or DC input power declaration.For the purposes of the methodology the following qualifications apply:Fully charged battery: Point during charging when according to the manufacturer’s instructions, by indicator or time period the product does not need to be charged anymore. Visual profiling of this point shall be made for subsequent reference with a graphical representation of the power meter charging log made with power measurements of 1 second granularity in a 30-minute period before and after the fully charged point.Fully discharged battery: A point in on-mode, with the UUT disconnected from an external power source, where the display switches off automatically (not through auto standby functions) or ceases to function while displaying an image.If there is no indicator or no stated charge time period the battery shall be fully discharged. The battery shall then be recharged with all display user-controlled functions off. The power input against time with a data granularity no less than one reading per second shall be automatically logged. Where the log shows the start of a low power flat line battery maintenance mode or the start of a very low power period with spaced bursts of power, the time logged to that point from the start of the charge cycle of the battery, shall be regarded as the basic charge time.Preparation of battery: Any unused Li-ion batteries shall be fully charged and fully discharged once, prior to conducting the first test on a UUT. All other unused battery chemistry/technology types shall be fully charged and fully discharged three times, prior to conducting the first test on the UUT.MethodSet up UUT for all the relevant testing as described in this testing methodology document. For the choice of AC or DC power measurement declaration, apply the caveats on powering above.All dynamic test sequences involving power measurement for regulation conformance and declaration shall be performed with the product battery fully charged and the external power source disconnected. The fully charged condition shall be confirmed by the power meter log charging profile graph. The product shall be switched to the measurement mode required and the dynamic test sequence started immediately. After the dynamic test sequence is completed the product shall be switched off and a logged charging sequence commenced. When the charging log profile indicates a fully charged condition, the average power recorded from the logged start of charging to the logged start of the fully charged condition is used to calculate the power to be recorded for the Regulation requirement.Standby, networked standby and off modes (if applicable) will require long periods of battery loading to provide good data repeatability from the recharge average power (e.g. 48 hours for off or standby and 24 hours for networked standby)For luminance measurement and ABC luminance profiling the external power source can remain connected.For the ABC power reduction test, the appropriate dynamic peak luminance sequence shall be continuously played for 30 minutes in a 12 lux ambient light condition. The battery shall be immediately recharged and the average power noted. The same shall be repeated for the 100 lux ambient condition and the difference between the average recharge powers confirmed to be 20 % or more.For the SDR power declaration the appropriate 10-minute SDR dynamic power measurement sequence shall be played 3 times sequentially and the average battery recharge power requirement logged (Pmeasured (SDR) = recharge energy /total playback time).For the HDR power declaration each of the two five-minute HDR dynamic power measurement files shall be played three times in quick succession and the average battery recharge power requirement logged (Pmeasured (HDR) = recharge energy /total playback time).1.2.8.Measure power requirement of low power and off modesTest instrumentation and test conditions as detailed in relevant standards apply to all low power and off mode power testing. The AC or DC power measuring caveats of 1.2.7 above apply and the special test procedure for battery powered displays covered in 1.2.7 shall be used where applicable.ANNEX IVVerification procedure for market surveillance purposesThe verification tolerances defined in this Annex relate only to the verification by Member State authorities of the declared values and shall not be used by the manufacturer, importer or authorised representative as an allowed tolerance to establish the values in the technical documentation or in interpreting these values with a view to achieving compliance or to communicate better performance by any means.Where a model has been designed to be able to detect it is being tested (e.g. by recognising the test conditions or test cycle), and to react specifically by automatically altering its performance during the test with the objective of reaching a more favourable level for any of the parameters specified in this Regulation or included in the technical documentation or included in any of the documentation provided, the model and all equivalent models shall be considered not compliant.As part of verifying that a product model complies with the requirements laid down in this Regulation pursuant to Article 3(2) of Directive 2009/125/EC the authorities of the Member States shall apply the following procedure for the requirements referred to in Annex I.1.General procedureThe Member States authorities shall verify one single unit of the model.The model shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements if:(a)the values given in the technical documentation pursuant to point 2 of Annex IV to Directive 2009/125/EC (declared values) and, where applicable, the values used to calculate these values are not more favourable for the manufacturer, importer or authorised representative than the results of the corresponding measurements carried out pursuant to paragraph (g) thereof;(b)the declared values meet any requirements laid down in this Regulation and any product information published by the manufacturer, importer or authorised representative does not contain values that are more favourable for the manufacturer, importer or authorised representative than the declared values;(c)when the Member State authorities test the unit of the model, the determined values (the values of the relevant parameters as measured in testing and the values calculated from these measurements) comply with the respective verification tolerances as given in Table 3;

PmeasuredStandard dynamic range (SDR) on-mode, "normal"	Power measurement notes(See Annex IIIa for informative notes regarding the testing of Displays with a standardised DC input or a non-removable battery providing the primary power. For the purposes of these Transitional Measurement Methods a standardised DC input is solely one compatible with the various forms of USB power delivery.Video Signals NotesThe 10-minute Dynamic Broadcast video sequence described in existing relevant standards shall be replaced with an updated 10-minute Dynamic Broadcast video sequence. This is available for download at: https://circabc.europa.eu/ui/group/1582d77c-d930-4c0d-b163-4f67e1d42f5b/library/23ab249b-6ebc-4f45-9b0e-df07bc61a596?p=1&n=10&sort=modified_DESC. Two files are available, in SD and HD. They are respectively titled "SD Dynamic Video Power.mp4", and "HD Dynamic Video Power.mp4". SD resolution is made available for the limited types of display that cannot accept or display higher resolution standards. The HD resolution file is used for all other display resolutions since this closely matches the average picture level (APL) of the current IEC HD dynamic broadcast dynamic test sequence described in existing relevant standards.Upscaling from HD to higher native resolution shall be performed by the Unit Under Test (UUT) and not by an external device. Where upscaling has to be performed by an external device the full details of the device and the signal interface with the UUT shall be recorded.The data signal from the downloaded file storage system to the UUT digital signal interface shall be confirmed to provide peak white and full black video levels. If the file playback system has special picture optimisation features (e.g. deep blacks or enhanced colour processing) these shall be disabled. For repeatability of measurement purposes, the details of the file storage and playback system shall be recorded as well as the type of digital interface with the UUT (e.g. HDMI, DVI etc.) The power measurement P measured is an average value from the full 10-minute length of the dynamic test sequence, taken with ABC disabled.
PmeasuredHigh dynamic range (HDR)on-mode "normal"(auto mode switching to HDR)	No existing relevant standard is published so far.Following the Pmeasured (SDR) dynamic test sequence measurement two HDR dynamic test sequences shall be played.These 5-minute sequences are rendered in HD resolution only, in the common HDR standards of HLG and HDR10. Upscaling from HD to a higher native display resolution shall be performed by the UUT and not an external device. Where upscaling has to be performed by an external device the full details of the device and the signal interface with the UUT shall be recorded.These files are available for download at: https://circabc.europa.eu/ui/group/1582d77c-d930-4c0d-b163-4f67e1d42f5b/library/38df374d-f367-4b72-93d6-3f48143ad661?p=1&n=10&sort=modified_DESCand have identical programme content. The files are respectively titled "HDR-HLG Power.mp4" and "HDR_HDR10 Power.mp4"It is essential that the UUT switch to the HDR display mode is confirmed in the picture settings menu before power data is logged. The integrated power measurement for each sequence (Pav) shall be summed and halved for the calculation of the label HDR energy efficiency class and label HDR power declaration.If the UUT cannot be tested in one of these HDR formats, this shall be noted and the power declared shall be the Pav measured for the HDR format that is supported.An ABC allowance does not apply in HDR display mode.Pmeasured HDR = 0.5 * (Pav HLG + Pav HDR10)If one of these HDR display modes is not supported, the measured numerical value of (Pav HLG) or (Pav HDR10) as appropriate, shall be used for Label VII and Label VIII declarations.
Screen Luminance Measurement for automatic brightness control (ABC) control characteristics evaluation and any other peak white luminance measurement requirement.	No existing relevant standards can be used.A new variant of the "box and outline" dynamic test pattern providing a dynamic format with colour shall be used for all peak white display luminance measurements and not the 3-bar black and white pattern.A set of these variant dynamic test patterns, which combine the box and outline format and VESA L10 to L80 white measurement box format shall be used as described in Section 1.2.4. of Annex IIIa and are available for download at: https://circabc.europa.eu/ui/group/1582d77c-d930-4c0d-b163-4f67e1d42f5b/library/4f4b47a4-c078-49c4-a859-84421fc3cf5e?p=1&n=10&sort=modified_DESC. They are contained in the subfolders labelled SD, HD and UHD. Each subfolder contains eight peak white dynamic test patterns from L10 to L80. A resolution may be chosen according to the native resolution and signal compatibility of the UUT. The selection of a pattern with the appropriate resolution shall be based upon a) the minimum required white box dimensions for correct operation of the contact luminance measuring instrument and b) the fact that no power limiting effect exhibited by the UUT (large areas of white may result in a reduction of peak white levels). Any upscaling shall be performed by the UUT and not an external device. The data signal from the downloaded file storage system to the UUT digital signal interface shall be confirmed to provide peak white and full black video levels and have no other video enhancement processing (e.g. deep blacks / colour enhancement) Both the storage system and signal interface type shall be noted. For displays tested using a USB, or USB compatible data interface with the feature of power delivery, both the UUT and USB connected signal source shall operate from their own power source with the data path only connected..
Measurements related to ABC for "Allowances and adjustments for the purposes of the EEI calculation and functional requirements"	The methodology for ABC ambient light source set-up and luminance control as specified in existing standards shall not be used for the purposes of ABC related measurements for this regulation. The methodology to be used is detailed in Section 1.2.5. of Annex IIIa.
Peak white luminance ratio	No existing relevant standards can be used.The "box and outline" dynamic test pattern selected for the ABC peak white luminance measurements (Annex III.a Section 1.2.4) shall be used to measure the peak white luminance of the "normal configuration" with ABC on. If this is less than 150 cd/m2 for monitors or 220 cd/m2 for other display products, then a further measurement shall be made of the peak white luminance of the brightest pre-set configuration in the user menu (not the shop configuration). ABC need not be on for the luminance ratio measurements but the status of the ABC (on or off) shall apply to both measurements. Where ABC is on, the illuminance shall be 100lux for both measurements. Care shall be taken to ensure that the dynamic test pattern selected for peak white luminance measurement in the "normal configuration" does not cause luminance instability in the brightest pre-set configuration. A smaller peak white box pattern shall be selected for both measurements if instability occurs.

1.1.Summary of order of testing1.Setup UUT on a stand identifying location of Auto Brightness Control (ABC) sensor where applicable and position display luminance and ambient light measuring instruments.2.Run through initial setup confirming correct implementation of forced menu warnings and default settings of "normal configuration".3.Mute Audio where applicable.4.Continue warm-up of sample while setting up test equipment and identifying peak white dynamic test pattern providing stable display luminance and power measurement.5.If the ABC allowance is claimed, determine the illumination range and the ABC latency required for the sample. Profile the ABC of display luminance between 100 lux and 12 lux ambient light levels and measure on-mode power reduction between those limits. To provide detailed profiling of the ABC influence on power and display luminance, the ambient illumination range may be divided into several steps from just above the 100 lux illumination datum point (e.g. 120 lux) through 60 lux, 35 lux and 12 lux to the darkest level allowed by the test environment. For Digital Signage Displays (DSD) additional profiling may be recorded up to daylight illuminance levels of 20000 lux for data gathering for future reviews of the Regulation.6.Measure peak luminance in the normal configuration. If this is less than 150 cd/m2 for a monitor or 220 cd/m2 for other display types, also measure the peak luminance of the brightest pre-set configuration in the user menu (not the shop configuration).7.Measure the on-mode power using the SDR dynamic broadcast video sequence with ABC disabled. Measure the on-mode power using the HDR dynamic broadcast video sequences confirming that HDR mode has been triggered (confirmed by display notification at start of HDR playback and / or change in normal configuration picture settings).8.Measure the power requirement of low power and off modes and the time required by the automatic power down functions to take effect.1.2.Details of testing1.2.1.UUT (display) and measuring instrument set upFigure 1: Physical set up of Display and ambient light sourceIf ABC function is available and the UUT is supplied with a stand this shall be attached to the display part and the UUT placed on a horizontal table or platform of at least 0,75 metres height covered in a black low reflectivity material (typical materials are felt, fleece or canvas theatrical backdrop). All parts of the stand shall remain exposed. Displays intended primarily for wall mounting shall be frame mounted for ease of access with the lower edge of the display at least 0,75 metres from the floor. The floor surface under the display and up to 0,5 metres in front of the display must not be highly reflective and ideally covered in black, low reflectivity material.The physical location of the UUT ABC sensor shall be determined and measured coordinates of that location, relative to a fixed point outside the UUT, noted. The distances H and D as well as the projector beam angle (see Figure 1) shall be noted to aid repeatability of measurements. Depending on, the light source illuminance level requirements the distances H&D shall normally be equal ± 5mm and measure between 1,5 m to 3 m. For the projector beam angle adjustment, a black slide with a small white centre box can be used to focus at the ABC sensor and provide a narrow beam of light for angular measurement. If an ABC sensor is designed to work optimally with an illuminance beam angle outside the 45 o recommended, this preferred angle may be employed and the details recorded. Where a non-contact (distant location) luminance meter is used with a low beam angle for the light source, care shall be taken to ensure that the source is not reflected in the area of the display used for luminance measurement.An illuminance meter shall be mounted as close as possible to the ABC sensor, taking precautions to avoid reflections of ambient light from the meter casing entering the sensor. This may be achieved by various methods in combination, including shrouding the illuminance meter in black felt and facilitating an adjustable mechanical mounting which does not allow the meter casing to protrude beyond the front of the ABC sensor.The following proven procedure is recommended for an accurate and repeatable logging of ABC sensor illuminance levels with a minimum of mechanical mounting challenges. This procedure allows correction for any illuminance error introduced by the practical impossibility of mounting the illuminance meter at exactly the same physical position as the ABC sensor for simultaneous illumination. The procedure thus allows simultaneous illumination of the ABC sensor and illumination meter without physical disturbance of the UUT and meter after set-up. With appropriate logging software, the required step changes in illuminance can be synchronised to on-mode power measurement and display luminance measurement to automatically log and profile the ABC.The illuminance meter shall be located a few centimetres away from the ABC sensor to ensure that direct reflections of the projector beam, from the meter casing, cannot enter the ABC sensor. The illuminance meter detector horizontal axis shall be on the same horizontal axis as the ABC sensor with the meter vertical axis strictly parallel to the display vertical plane. The physical coordinates of the meter mounting point relative to the fixed external point used to record the physical location of the ABC sensor shall be measured and noted.The projector shall be mounted in a position with the axis of its projected beam in line with a vertical plane perpendicular to the display surface and running through the vertical axis of the ABC sensor (see Figure 1). The projector platform height, tilt and distance from the UUT shall be adjusted to allow a full frame peak white projected image to focus on an area covering the ABC sensor and illuminance meter whilst delivering the maximum ambient illumination level (lux) required at the sensor for testing. In this context it shall be noted that some Digital Signage Displays have ABC operative in ambient light conditions from up to 20000 lux to below 100 lux.The contact luminance meter for display luminance measurement shall be rigged to align with the centre of the UUT screen.The projected illuminance image overlapping the horizontal surface below the UUT display shall not extend beyond the vertical plane of the display unless a reflective stand encroaches into a larger forward area than this, in which case the edge of the image shall be aligned with the extremities of the stand (see Figure 1). The top horizontal edge of the projected image shall not be less than 1 cm below the lower edge of the contact luminance meter shroud. This may be achieved by optical adjustment or the physical positioning of the projector, within the constraints of the required 45o beam angle and the required maximum illuminance at the ABC sensor.With the UUT and illuminance meter position coordinates noted and the projector producing a stable illuminance within the range to be measured (normally stability is achieved a few minutes from switch-on with solid state lamp engines) the UUT shall be moved sufficiently to allow the illuminance meter front face and detector centre to be aligned with the physical position coordinates noted for the UUT ABC sensor. The illuminance measured at this point shall be noted and the meter returned to its original set-up position along with the UUT. The illuminance shall be measured again at the set-up position. The percentage difference between the illuminance measured at the two test positions (if any) may be applied in final reporting as a correction factor to all further illuminance measurements (this correction factor does not change with illuminance level). This provides an accurate data set for the illuminance at the ABC sensor even though the lux measuring instrument is not situated at that point and allows the simultaneous plotting of display luminance, power and illuminance to accurately profile the ABC.No further physical changes shall be made to the test set up.Unlike televisions, digital signage displays may have more than one ambient light sensor. For testing purposes, the technician shall determine a single sensor to be utilised in the test, eliminating the other light sensors by obscuring them with opaque tape. Unwanted sensors may also be disabled if control is provided to do so. In most instances the most suitable sensor to use would be a front-facing one. Measurement methods for digital signage displays with multiple light sensors may be explored further as a test method refinement to be qualified in a harmonised standard.For test laboratories preferring to use a dimmable lamp source instead of a projector light source in the described test set up, the following lamp specification shall apply and the measured lamp characteristics recorded.The light source used for illuminating the ABC sensor to specific illuminance levels shall use a dimmable LED reflector lamp and shall have a diameter of 90 mm ± 5 mm. The rated beam angle of the lamp shall be 40 ° ± 5 °. The rated correlated colour temperature (CCT) shall be 2700 K ± 300 K throughout the illuminance range 12 lux to the peak illuminance required for testing. The rated colour rendering index (CRI) shall be 80 ± 3. The front surface of the lamp shall be clear (i.e., not coloured or coated with a spectrum modifying material) and may have a smooth or granular front surface; when shined against a uniform white surface, the diffusion pattern shall appear smooth to the naked eye. The lamp assembly shall not modify the spectrum of the LED source, including the IR and UV bands. The characteristics of the light shall not vary across the full range of dimming required for the ABC testing.1.2.2.Check of correct implementation of "normal configuration" and energy impact warnings.A power meter shall be connected to the UUT for observation purposes and at least one video signal source provided. During this test the persistence of ABC in all other pre-set configurations, except "shop configuration" shall be confirmed.1.2.3.Audio SettingAn input signal shall be provided containing audio and video (the 1 kHz tone on the SDR video power test material is ideal) The sound volume setting shall be reduced to a zero-display indication, or a mute control activated. It must be confirmed that activation of the mute control has no effect on "normal configuration" picture parameters.1.2.4.Identifying the peak white luminance pattern for peak white luminance measurementsWhen a UUT displays a peak white pattern, the display may quickly dim within the first few seconds and gradually dim until stable. This makes it impossible to measure, in a consistent and repeatable way, power and luminance values, immediately after the image is displayed. In order to have repeatable measurements, some level of stability must be achieved. Testing on displays using current technology indicates that 30 seconds shall be sufficient time to allow for luminance stability of a peak white image. As a practical observation, this time window also allows for any on-screen status display to disappear.Current display products often have built-in electronics and display drive software to protect the display power supply from being over-driven and the screen from suffering persistence (burn-in) by limiting total power to the screen. This can result in a limited luminance and limited power consumption when displaying, for example a large area of white dynamic test pattern.In this test methodology, the measurement of peak luminance is made while displaying a 100% white dynamic test pattern, but the area of white is empirically limited to avoid the triggering of protection mechanisms. The appropriate dynamic test pattern is determined by displaying the range of eight "box and outline" dynamic test patterns based on VESA "L" dynamic test patterns from smallest (L 10) to largest (L 80), while recording power and screen luminance. A graph of power and screen luminance vs L pattern shall assist in determining if and when display drive limiting is occurring. For example, if power consumption is increasing from L 10 to L 60, while luminance is either increasing or constant (not decreasing) then those patterns are not appearing to cause limiting. If dynamic test pattern L 70 indicates no increase in power consumption or luminance (where there was an increase in previous L patterns), this would indicate that limiting is occurring at L 70 or between L 60 and L 70. It may also be that limiting has occurred between L 50 and L60 and the graphed points at L 60 were in fact sloping downward. Therefore, the largest pattern where we are sure no limiting occurs is L 50 and this is the correct pattern to use for the peak luminance measurement. Where a luminance ratio has to be declared, the selection of the luminance pattern shall be made in the brightest pre-set setting. If the UUT is known to have display luminance drive characteristics which do not allow the selection of an optimum, peak-white-luminance dynamic test pattern by the above selection procedure the following simplified selection process may be employed. For displays equal to or greater than 15,24 cm (6 inches) and less than 30,48 cm (12 inches) diagonally, the L 40 PeakLumMotion signal shall be used. For displays greater than or equal to 30,48 cm (12 inches) diagonally, the L 20 PeakLumMotion signal shall be used. The dynamic peak white luminance dynamic test pattern selected by either procedure shall be declared and used for all luminance testing.1.2.5.Determination of ABC ambient light control range and latency of ABC action.For the purposes of Regulation (EU) 2019/2021, an ABC power allowance is provided in the EEI declaration if the ABC control characteristic meets specific requirements of display luminance control between ambient light levels of 100 lux and 12 lux with datum points of 60 lux and 35 lux. The change in display luminance between 100 lux and 12 lux ambient light change must provide at least 20 % decrease in display power requirement for conformance with the regulation ABC power allowance. The dynamic luminance "L" dynamic test pattern used to assess ABC luminance control conformance may also be simultaneously used to assess the power reduction conformance.For digital signage displays, a much wider range of ABC control with illuminance change may apply and the test methodology described here may be extended to gather data for future revisions of the Regulation.1.2.5.1ABC Latency ProfilingThe latency of the ABC control function is the time delay between the ambient light change sensed at the ABC detector and the resulting change in UUT display luminance. Testing data has shown that this delay can be as long as 60 seconds and this must be taken into account when profiling ABC control. For latency estimation, the 100 lux slide (see 1.2.5.2), at a stable display luminance condition, is switched to the 60 lux slide and the time interval required to achieve a stable lower display luminance level recorded. At the lower stable luminance level, the 60 lux slide is switched to the 100 lux slide and the time interval to achieve a stable higher luminance level noted. The higher value of time interval is the one used for latency with a discretional 10 seconds added. This is saved as the slide show projection period for each slide.1.2.5.2Light Source Illumination ControlFor ABC profiling, a peak white dynamic test pattern as identified in 1.2.4 is displayed on the UUT, as the brightness of the light source is altered from white through a range of grey slides to simulate ambient illumination changes. For illumination level control the first slide grey transparency is altered to achieve the starting point of the profiling (e.g. 120 lux) by measuring the lux level at the illuminance meter. The slide is saved and copied. A new grey transparency level is set for the copy to the required datum point of 100 lux and the slide saved and copied. The process is repeated for the datum points of 60 lux, 35 lux and 12 lux. A black (0 % transparency) illuminance slide can be added here for data plotting symmetry and the datum point slides copied and introduced in ascending illumination order back to 120 lux.1.2.5.3Light Source Colour Temperature ControlA further requirement is to set a colour temperature for the white point of the projected light to ensure repeatability of test data if a different projector light source is used for verification purposes. For this test methodology a white point colour temperature of 2700K ± 300K is specified for consistency with ABC methodology in earlier test standards.This white point is readily set in any major computer application for slide creation by the use of a suitable colour solid fill (e.g. Red/Orange) and transparency adjustment. With these tools the normally colder projector white point may be adjusted to the 2700K suggested, by altering the transparency of the selected colour whilst measuring colour temperature via a function of the illuminance meter. Once the required temperature is achieved it is applied to all slides.1.2.5.4Data RecordingThe power consumption, screen luminance and illuminance at the ABC sensor are measured and logged during the slide show. This data must correlate with time. Data points for three parameters must be logged in order to relate power consumption, to screen luminance and illuminance of the ABC sensor. Any number of slides can be created between datum points for high granularity of data within the constraints of available test time duration.For DSD designed to operate in a wide range of ambient lighting conditions the operating range of the ABC control over display luminance can be manually established with the black transparency control operating on a single projected slide of peak white pre-set to the required colour temperature. The recommended pre-set configuration of the DSD for a wide range of ambient light operating conditions shall be selected from the user menu. At a stable display luminance point the projected slide shall be switched from 0 % to 100 % black transparency to establish the latency period. This shall then be applied to slide grey transparency steps from black to a point where no change occurs in display luminance to establish the operating range of the ABC. A slide show can then be created in the granularity required to profile that range.1.2.6.Display luminance measurementsWith ABC enabled and 100 lux ambient light level measured at the illuminance meter, the UUT shall display the selected peak white luminance pattern (see 1.2.4) at a stable luminance. For Regulation conformance, luminance measurement shall confirm that the display luminance level is 220 cd/m2 or more for all display categories other than monitors. For monitors, a conformance level of 150 cd/m2or more is required. For displays without ABC or devices that do not claim the ABC allowance, measurements may be made without the ambient light part of the test rig.For those displays which by design intention have a declared display peak white luminance level, in the normal configuration, of less than the conformance requirement of 220 cd/m2or 150 cd/m2, as applicable, a further peak white measurement shall be made in the pre-set viewing configuration providing the highest measured peak white luminance. For Regulation conformance the calculated ratio of the normal viewing configuration peak white luminance measurement and the highest peak white luminance measurement shall be 65 % or greater. This is declared as the "luminance ratio".For those UUT with ABC that can be switched off a further Conformance test shall be conducted in the normal configuration. The stabilised peak white luminance pattern shall be displayed in the measured 100 lux ambient illumination condition. It shall be confirmed that the UUT power requirement, measured with ABC on, is the same as or less than the power requirement measured at a stabilised luminance with ABC off. If the measured power is not the same, the mode which yields the highest measured power shall be used for on mode power.1.2.7.Measurement of on-mode powerFor each of the UUT powering systems covered below, SDR power shall be measured in the normal configuration, using the HD version of the 10 minute "SDR dynamic video power test" file, unless input signal compatibility is restricted to SD. The file source and UUT input interface shall be confirmed to be capable of delivering full black and full white video data levels. Any upscaling of HD video resolution to the native resolution of the UUT display must be processed by the UUT and not an external device where the UUT allows this. If an external device must be used to achieve upscaling to the native resolution of the UUT then details of that device and its interface with the UUT shall be recorded. The power declaration is the average power determined during the playback of the full 10-minute file.HDR power, where the function applies, is measured using the two 5-minute HDR files "HDR-HLG power" and "HDR- HDR10 power". If one of these HDR modes is not supported, HDR power shall be declared on the supported mode.Test instrumentation characteristics and test conditions as detailed in relevant standards apply to all power testing.Product warm up with current UUT display technology need not be protracted and is most conveniently conducted with the dynamic peak white luminance dynamic test pattern identified in section 1.2.4 above. When power readings are stable with the UUT displaying this pattern power measurements with the SDR and HDR dynamic video power test files may commence.Where a product has ABC, this shall be switched off. If it cannot be switched off the product shall be tested in the 100 lux measured ambient light conditions described in section 1.2.5 above.For UUT intended for use on AC mains including those using a standardised DC input but with an external power supply (EPS) provided packaged with the UUT, on-mode power shall be measured at the AC supply point.(a)For UUT with a standardised DC input (only USB-compatible power delivery standards apply) power measurement shall be made at the DC input. This is facilitated by a USB break out unit (BOU) which maintains the data path of the supply connector and UUT DC input but interrupts the power delivery path to allow current measurement and Voltage measurement inputs to the power meter. The USB BOU power meter combination must be fully tested to ensure that their design and maintenance condition do not interfere with the cable impedance sensing function of some USB power delivery standards. The power recorded via the USB BOU shall be the power Pmeasured declared for the on-mode power measurement declaration (Ecodesign and Labelling in SDR mode and HDR mode).(b)For unusual UUT covered by the definitions of the Regulation but designed to operate from an internal battery which cannot be bypassed or removed for the required power testing the following methodology is proposed. The caveats for EPS and standardised DC input detailed above apply in the choice of AC or DC input power declaration.For the purposes of the methodology the following qualifications apply:Fully charged battery: Point during charging when according to the manufacturer’s instructions, by indicator or time period the product does not need to be charged anymore. Visual profiling of this point shall be made for subsequent reference with a graphical representation of the power meter charging log made with power measurements of 1 second granularity in a 30-minute period before and after the fully charged point.Fully discharged battery: A point in on-mode, with the UUT disconnected from an external power source, where the display switches off automatically (not through auto standby functions) or ceases to function while displaying an image.If there is no indicator or no stated charge time period the battery shall be fully discharged. The battery shall then be recharged with all display user-controlled functions off. The power input against time with a data granularity no less than one reading per second shall be automatically logged. Where the log shows the start of a low power flat line battery maintenance mode or the start of a very low power period with spaced bursts of power, the time logged to that point from the start of the charge cycle of the battery, shall be regarded as the basic charge time.Preparation of battery: Any unused Li-ion batteries shall be fully charged and fully discharged once, prior to conducting the first test on a UUT. All other unused battery chemistry/technology types shall be fully charged and fully discharged three times, prior to conducting the first test on the UUT.MethodSet up UUT for all the relevant testing as described in this testing methodology document. For the choice of AC or DC power measurement declaration, apply the caveats on powering above.All dynamic test sequences involving power measurement for regulation conformance and declaration shall be performed with the product battery fully charged and the external power source disconnected. The fully charged condition shall be confirmed by the power meter log charging profile graph. The product shall be switched to the measurement mode required and the dynamic test sequence started immediately. After the dynamic test sequence is completed the product shall be switched off and a logged charging sequence commenced. When the charging log profile indicates a fully charged condition, the average power recorded from the logged start of charging to the logged start of the fully charged condition is used to calculate the power to be recorded for the Regulation requirement.Standby, networked standby and off modes (if applicable) will require long periods of battery loading to provide good data repeatability from the recharge average power (e.g. 48 hours for off or standby and 24 hours for networked standby)For luminance measurement and ABC luminance profiling the external power source can remain connected.For the ABC power reduction test, the appropriate dynamic peak luminance sequence shall be continuously played for 30 minutes in a 12 lux ambient light condition. The battery shall be immediately recharged and the average power noted. The same shall be repeated for the 100 lux ambient condition and the difference between the average recharge powers confirmed to be 20 % or more.For the SDR power declaration the appropriate 10-minute SDR dynamic power measurement sequence shall be played 3 times sequentially and the average battery recharge power requirement logged (Pmeasured (SDR) = recharge energy /total playback time).For the HDR power declaration each of the two five-minute HDR dynamic power measurement files shall be played three times in quick succession and the average battery recharge power requirement logged (Pmeasured (HDR) = recharge energy /total playback time).1.2.8.Measure power requirement of low power and off modesTest instrumentation and test conditions as detailed in relevant standards apply to all low power and off mode power testing.

and(d)when the Member State authorities check the unit of the model, it complies with the functional requirements and the requirements on repair and end-of-life aspects.1.1.Verification procedure for requirements established in Annex II, point B.1The model shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements if:(a)the ABC of the product is enabled by default and persists in all SDR modes, except in the shop configuration;(b)the measured on mode power of the product decreases by 20 % or more when the ambient light condition measured at the ABC sensor is reduced from 100 lux to 12 lux;(c)the ABC control of display luminance meets the requirements of Annex II, point B.1(e).1.2.Verification procedure for requirements established in Annex II, point B.2The model shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements if:(a)the normal configuration is provided as the default choice on initial activation of the electronic display; and(b)if the user selects a mode other than normal configuration, a second selection process is prompted to confirm the choice.1.3.Verification procedure for requirements established in Annex II, point B.3The model shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements if the determined value of the peak white luminance or, if applicable, the peak white luminance ratio, meets the value required in point B.3.1.4.Verification procedure for requirements established in Annex II, point C.1The model shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements if, when connected to the power source:(a)the off mode and/or standby mode and/or another mode which does not exceed the applicable power demand requirements for off mode and/or standby mode, is set as default;(b)if the unit provides networked standby mode with HiNA, the unit does not exceed the applicable power demand requirements for HiNA when networked standby is enabled; and(c)if the unit provides networked standby mode without HiNA, the unit does not exceed the applicable power demand requirements without HiNA when networked standby is enabled.1.5.Verification procedure for requirements established in Annex II, point C.2The model shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements if:(a)the unit provides off mode and/or standby mode, and/or another mode which does not exceed the applicable power demand requirements for off mode and/or standby mode, when the electronic display is connected to the power source; and(b)the activation of the network availability requires the end-user’s intervention; and(c)the network availability can be disabled by the end-user; and(d)it complies with the requirements for standby mode when networked standby mode is not enabled.1.6.Verification procedure for requirements established in Annex II, point C.3The model shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements if:(a)within 4 hours in on mode following the last user interaction or within 1 hour if a room presence sensor is enabled and no movement is detected, the television automatically switches from on mode to standby mode or off mode or networked standby mode, if enabled, or another mode which does not exceed the applicable power demand requirements for standby mode. Member State authorities shall use the applicable procedure to measure the power demand after the automatic power down functionality switches the television into the applicable power mode; and(b)the function is set as default; and(c)in on mode, the television shows an alert message before automatically switching from on mode to the applicable mode; and(d)if the television provides a function allowing the user to modify the 4-hour period for automatic mode transitions detailed in (a), a warning message is prompted about a potential increase in energy use and a confirmation of the new setting is requested when an extension beyond the 4-hour period or disabling is selected; and(e)if the television is equipped with a room presence sensor, the automatic transition from on mode into any mode as detailed in (a) applies if no presence is detected for no more than 1 hour; and(f)in televisions with various selectable input sources the power management protocols of the signal source selected is prioritised over those default power management mechanisms described in (a) above.1.7.Verification procedure for requirements established in Annex II, point C.4The model shall be tested for each end user selectable signal input interface type which has specified that it can carry power management control signals or data. Where there are two or more identical signal interfaces not labelled for a specific host product type (e.g. HDMI-1, HDMI-2, etc.) it is sufficient to test one of these signal interfaces selected at random. Where there are labelled or menu designated signal interfaces (e.g. computer, set top box or analogous) the appropriate host signal source device should be connected to the designated signal interface for the test. The model shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirement if no signal by any input source is detected and the model switches into standby mode, off mode or networked standby mode.1.8.Verification procedure for requirements established in Annex II, point D and EThe model shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements if, when the Member State authorities check the unit of the model, it complies with the requirements on resource efficiency in Annex II, points D and E.The requirements of Annex II, D.4. shall be deemed to be complied with if:The determined value for HFRs identified in Directive 2011/65/EU does not exceed the relevant maximum concentration values defined in Annex II of Directive 2011/65/EU; andFor other HFRs, the determined value for any homogenous material does not exceed 0,1 % by weight of halogen content. Where the determined value for any homogenous material exceeds 0,1 % by weight of halogen content, the model may still be considered compliant where documentary checks or any other appropriate, reproducible methods show that the halogen content is not attributable to flame retardant.2.Procedure if requirements are not achievedIf the results referred to in point 1(c) and 1(d) related to requirements not involving measured values are not achieved, the model and all equivalent models shall be considered not to comply.If the results referred to in point 1(c) and 1(d) related to requirements involving measured values are not achieved, the Member State authorities shall select three additional units of the same model or equivalent models for testing. The model shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements if, for these three units, the arithmetical mean of the determined values complies with the respective verification tolerances given in Table 3. Otherwise the model and all equivalent models shall be considered not to comply.The Member State authorities shall provide all relevant information to the authorities of the other Member States and to the Commission without delay after a decision being taken on the non-compliance of the model.The Member State authorities shall use the measurement and calculation methods set out in Annex III and only use the procedure described in points 1 and 2 for the requirements referred to in this Annex.3.Verification tolerancesThe Member State authorities shall only apply the verification tolerances that are set out in Table 3. No other tolerances, such as those set out in harmonised standards or in any other measurement method, shall be applied.The verification tolerances defined in this Annex relate only to the verification of the measured parameters by the Member State authorities and shall not be used by the manufacturer as an allowed tolerance on the values in the technical documentation to achieve compliance with the requirements. Declared values shall not be more favourable for the manufacturer than the values reported in the technical documentation.
