IMPLEMENTING GUIDELINES OF THE PHILIPPINE ENERGY LABELING PROGRAM 
FOR TELEVISIONS  
 
Pursuant to Section 9 of Department Circular No. 2020 -06-0015 , entitled “Prescribing the 
Guidelines of the Philippine Energy Labeling Program (PELP) for Compliance of Impor ters, 
Manufacturers, Distributors and Dealers of Electrical Appliances and Other Energy -
Consuming Products (ECP)”, the following guidelines for Air C onditioners are hereby 
issued for the information and guidance of all concerned and for compliance by all 
manufacturers, importers, distributors, dealers and other key stakeholders.  
Furthermore, this Implementing Guidelines shall include  the Particular Pr oduct 
Requirements (PPR)  for Televisions , as well as its Code of Practice (COPE) , and shall be 
known as the  “TV IG”.   
1. Particular Product Requirement for Televisions . The attached PELP Annex D.3: 
PPR for Televisions  provides the requirements for Televisions  and other relevant 
information , which include the following:  
 
i. Scope  
ii. Definition of Terms  
iii. Normative Refe rences  
iv. Sampling Method for Verification Testing  
v. Specific Guidelines for the Conduct of  Verification Testing  
vi. Inspection of Generic Models  
vii. Monitoring  
viii. Minimum Energy Performance  
ix. Tolerances  
x. Energy Efficiency Performance Rating of Television Sets  
xi. Spec ification  and Dimensions of the Energy Label  
xii. Presentation of Energy Label  
xiii. Correction of Performance Ratings  
xiv. Validity of Energy Label  
xv. Information in the Label  
  
2. Code of Practice on Energy Labeling of Products. Pursuant to Section 15 of the 
EEC Act, the Code of Pra ctice on Energy Labeling of Products (COPE) provid es for the 
calculation method s of the following:  
 
2.1 The Television  Energy Efficiency Performance  Rating  (EEPR) or the star rating 
shown in the DOE Energy Label is based on the Energy Efficiency Factor (EE F), 
which is calculated as follows:  
 
EEF = Viewing screen area or luminous area (m2)  
            Total energy consumption (kWh)  
 
  
 For the actual EEPR or Star -Rating equivalent, please refer to  the attached PPR  
(Annex D.3) . 
 
The EEPR reflected on the DOE E nergy Label shall correspond to the EEF value 
shown in the product test report during product registration. The EEPR shall be 
adjusted accordingly (as needed) once the product has undergone verification 
testing.  
 
2.2 For the estimation of monthly energy kWh consumption  (based on a specified 
hour of daily usage),  as shown in the DOE Energy Label, the calculation is as 
follows:  
 
       Monthly kWh Consumption = Power Input  x Daily Operating Hours x 30   
 
Where: Power Input  is the determined electrical power r equired by the equipment to 
operate normally  and is expressed in kilowatts (kW)  
 
Operating Hours  is the assumed length of time  that the equipment is operated in a 
day and is expressed in hours. With regards to the DOE Energy Label, this 
parameter is assume d to be 9 hours.  
 
2.3 For the estimation of monthly electricity cost , the calculation is as follows:  
 
Monthly Electricity Cost  = Monthly kWh  Consumption  x Electricity Price  
 
Where: Electric ity Price  is the prevailing peso per kWh , as indicated in the elec tricity bill 
issued by an electric power distribution company.   
 
2.4 For the estimation of monthly Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission  due to monthly 
electricity consumption, the calculation is as follows:  
 
Monthly GHG emission = Monthly kWh Consumption x 0.512     
 
The unit of the calculated GHG emission shall be in kg of CO 2. 
 
3. Submission of Documents. All applicants are required to submit reportorial 
documents,  necessary for Company Registration and Product Registration prior to the 
issuance of DOE Energy La bels. The forms, indicated in PELP IG Annex A, are as follows:  
 
• PELP Form No. 1: Application for Company Registration under the Philippine 
Energy Labeling Program for Energy Consuming Products  
 
• PELP Form No. 2: Undertaking to Abide by the Terms and Conditi ons of the 
Philippine Energy Labeling Program  
 
• PELP Form No. 3: App lication of Particular Product Registration under the 
Philippine Energy Labeling Program for Energy Consuming Products  
 
• PELP Form No. 4: Product Sales Inventory Report  
 
 
  
 4. Application Pro cedure s for Compliance to PELP . All manufacturers, importers and 
distributors of televisions  shall observe the following application procedures  stated in 
PELP IG Annex B  and be subject to the following fees:  
 
 4.1 Company Registration  amounting to  PhP 1,60 0.00 per company  
  
4.2 Product Registration amounti ng to  PhP 300.00 per product model  
  
4.3 Energy Label Issuance amounting to  PhP 300.00 per issuance  
  
4.4 Recognition of Testing Laboratories amounting to  PhP 15,000.00 
per testing  facility  
 
5. Enforcemen t, Monitoring  and Verification.  The DOE, through the EUMB , shall 
conduct enforcement, monitoring and verification activities in relation to PELP. The 
detailed procedure s of which shall be specified in PELP IG Annex C: Guidelines for the 
Enforcement, Monito ring and Enforcement (EMV) of P ELP.  
 
6. Effectivity.  This TV IG shall take effect fifteen (15) days following its publication in at 
least two (2) newspapers of general circulation. Copies of this IG shall be filed with the 
University of the Philippines La w Center – Office of the Nation al Administrative Register.
