EN 8  EN ANNEX III  
Measurement methods and calculations  
Measurements and calculations shall be made using harmonised standards, the reference 
numbers of which have been published for this purpose i n the Official Journal of the 
European Union , or other reliable, accurate and reproducible methods, which take into 
account the generally recognised state of the art.  
The following g eneral conditions shall apply when  testing networked equipment:  
(a) To measure  the energy consumption in standby mode  of networked equipment that 
has such mode,  all network ports of the unit shall be deactivated or disconnected, as 
applicable . 
(b) If a product relies on active wired  connection to one or more network ports for the 
intend ed use, manual deactivation of th ose network ports is allowed  instead of wire 
disconnection . 
(c) The following procedure shall be used for measur ing energy consumption in 
networked standby  and for testing the power management function : 
(1) If the equipment has one type of network port and if two or more ports of that 
type are available, one of th ose ports is randomly chosen and that port is 
connected to the appropriate network complying with the port’s maximum 
specification. If the equipment has  multiple wireles s network ports of the same 
type, the other wireless ports shall be deactivated if possible. If the equipment 
has multiple wired network ports of the same type , the other network ports 
shall be disconnected . If only one network port is available, that port  is 
connected to the appropriate network complying with the port’s maximum 
specification . 
The tested unit is switched  on. The device that provides the remotely initiated 
trigger that will reactivate the tested unit is connected to the appropriate 
network, switched on, and ready to provide the trigger when required to. Once 
the tested unit is switched on and working properly, it is allowed to go into 
networked standby and the power consumption is measured. Then the 
appropriate trigger is given to the unit through the network port and a check is 
made on wheth er the equipment is reactivated . 
(2) If the equipment has 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 randomly for each type of network 
port and that port is connected to the appropriate network complying with the 
port’s maximum specification . 
If for a certain type of network port only one port is available, that port is 
connected to the appropriate network complying with the port’s maximum 
specification. Wired network ports  not used shall be disconnected  and w ireless 
ports not used shall be deactivated i f possible . 
The tested unit is switched on . The device that provides the remotely initiated 
trigger  that will reactivate the tested unit  is connected to the appropriate 
network, switched on, and ready to provide the tri gger when required to. Once 
the tested unit is switched on and working properly, it is allowed to go into  
EN 9  EN networked standby and the power consumption is measured . Then the 
appropriate trigger is given to the unit through the network port and a check is 
made on whether the equipment is reactivated. If one physical network port is 
shared by two or more types of (logical) network ports , that procedure is 
repeated for each type of logical network port, with the other logical network 
ports being logical -disconne cted.   
EN 10  EN ANNEX IV  
Verification procedure for market surveillance purposes  
The verification tolerances defined in this Annex apply  only to the verification by Member 
State authorities of the declared values . They  shall not be used by the manufacturer, importer 
or authorised representative as an allowed tolerance for establish ing the values in the technical 
documentation or in interpreting th ose values with a view to achieving compliance or for 
communicat ing better  performance by any means.  
Any model in breach of the first paragraph of Article 6 of this Regulation and all equivalent 
models shall be considered not compliant.  
As part of verifying the compliance of a product model with the requirements referred  to in 
Annex II under  Article  3(2) of Directive 2009/125/EC, the authorities of the Member States 
shall follow the following procedure : 
1. The Member State authorities shall verify one single unit of the model.  
2. The model shall be considered to comply with the applica ble requirements if  all the 
following conditions are met : 
(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 th ose values, are not more favourable for the 
manufacturer, importer or authorised representative than the results of the 
corresponding measurements carried out pursuant to point  2(g) of that Annex ;  
(b) the declared values meet any requirements laid down in this Regulation, and 
any required 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) the manufacturer, im porter or authorised repr esentative has put in place a 
system that complies with the r equirements in the second para graph of Article 
6;  
(d) the model complies with the functional requ irements in point 2 of Annex II  and 
with the inf ormation requirements in point 3  of Annex II ;  
(e) the determined values (the values of the relevant parameters as measured in 
testing and the values calculated from th ose measurements) comply with the 
respective verification tolerances as set out in Table  1. 
3. If the conditions set out  in point  2(a), (b) , (c) or (d) are not met, the model and all 
equivalent models shall be considered not to comply with this Regulation.  
4. If the condition set out  in point  2(e) is not met, the Member State authorities shall 
select three additional units of the same model for testing. As an alternative, the three 
additional units selected may be of one or more equivalent  models.  
5. The model shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements if, for 
those three units, the arithmetical mean of the det ermined values complies with the 
respective verification tolerances given in Table  1.  
6. If the result referred to in point  5 is not achieved, the model and all equivalent 
models shall be considered not to comply with this Regulation.   
EN 11  EN 7. 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 is 
taken on non -compliance of the model pursuant to points  3 or 6. 
The Member State autho rities shall use the measurement and calculation methods set out in  
Annex  III.  
For the requirements referred to in this Annex, Member State authorities shall apply only the 
verification tolerances set out in Table  1 below and shall use only the procedure described in 
points  1 to 7 above . For the parameters in Table  1, no other tolerances, such as those set out in 
harmonised standards or in any other measurement method, shall be applied.
