Regulation on Ecodesign of Energy Rela ted Products (2009/125/EC) (declared values), and, 
where applicable, the values used to calculate these values, are not more favourable for the 
manufacturer or importer than the results of the corresponding  measurements carried out 
pursuant to paragraph ( f) thereof; and  
 
(2) The declared values meet any requirements laid down in this Communique , and any 
required product information published by the manufacturer or importer does not contain values 
that are mo re favourable for the manufacturer or importer than the declared values; and

transmits all relevant information without delay to the European Commission and the relevant 
authorities of the Member States through the Ministry of Trade.  
 
8. The Ministry  authorities shall use the measurement and calculation methods set out in 
point 5 of Annex II and in points 9 and 10  of this Annex. The Ministry  authorities shall only 
apply the verification tolerances that are set out in the table below and shall only use the 
procedure described in points 1 to 7 for the requirements referred to in this Annex. No other 
tolerances, such as those set out in harmonis ed standards or in any other measurement method, 
shall be applied.  
 
Verification Tolerances

Annex II, 1(1) and 1(2) . For power consumption 
requirements above 1,00 W  The determined value shall 
not exceed the declared value 
by more than 10 %.  
For power consumption 
requirements less than or 
equal to 1,00 W  The determined value shall 
not exceed the declared value 
by more than 0,10 W.

TEST PROCEDURE FOR NETWORKED EQUIPMENT  
 
9. To test compliance with the requirements set out in point 2(2) (e) of Annex II, Ministry  
authorities shall use the  verification  procedure  set out in p oint 2 to 8 of this Annex, after having 
deactivated and/or disconnected, as applicable, all network ports of the unit.  
 
10. To test compliance with the other requirements set out in point 2 of Annex II, Ministry  
authorities shall test one single unit as follows:  
 
a) If the equipment has, as indi cated in the technical documentation, one type of network 
port and if two or more ports of that type are available, one of these ports is randomly chosen 
and that port is connected to the appropriate network complying with the maximum 
specification of the port. In the event of multiple wireless network ports of the same type, the 
other wireless ports shall be deactivated if possible. In the event of multiple wired network ports 
of the same type for verifying requirements set out in Annex II, point 2, the ot her network ports 
shall be deactivated if possible. If only one network port is available, that port is connected to 
the appropriate network complying with the maximum specification of the port.  
 
b) The unit is put in on mode. Once the unit in on mode is w orking properly, it is allowed 
to go into the condition providing networked standby and the power consumption is measured. 
Then the appropriate trigger is given to the equipment through the network port and a check is 
made on whether the equipment is react ivated.  
 
c) If the equipment has, as indicated in the technical documentation, more than one type 
of network port for each type of network port the following procedure is repeated. If two or 
more network ports of a type are available, one port is chosen ra ndomly for each type of network port and that port is connected to the appropriate network complying with the maximum 
specification of the port.  
 
ç) If for a certain type of network port only one port is available, that port is connected to 
the appropriate network complying with the maximum specification of the port. Wireless ports 
not used shall be deactivated if possible. In the event of verification  of requirements set out in 
Annex II, point 2, the wired network ports not used shall be deactivated if possible.  
 
d) The unit is put in on mode. Once the unit in on mode is working properly, it is allowed 
to go into the condition providing networked stand by and the power consumption is measured. 
Then the appropriate trigger is given to the equipment through the network port and a check is 
made whether the equipment is reactivated. If one physical network port is shared by two or 
more types of (logical) net work ports this procedure is repeated for each type of logical network 
port, with the other logical network ports being logical - disconnected.  
  ANNEX  – IV 
 
BENCHMARK S 
 
1. The following benchmarks are identified for the pur pose of Annex I, Part 3 , point 2  to 
Regulation on Ecod esign of Energy Related Products : 
 
- Off mode: 0 W -0,3 W with hard -off switch on the primary side, depending, inter alia, 
on the characteristics related to electromagnetic compatibility pursuant to Electromagnetic 
Compatibility Regula tion published in the Official Gazette dated 02/10/2016 and numbered 
29845.  
 
- Standby  — reactivation function: 0,1 W . 
- Standby — display: simple displays and low power LEDs 0,1 W, larger displays (e.g. 
for clocks) require more power.  
- Networked standby:  3 W for HiNA equipment; 1 W or less for non -HiNA equipment.
