THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION, 
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,  Having regard to Directive 2010/…/ EU of […] of the European Parliament and of the Council 
on the indication by labelling and standard prod uct information of the consumption of energy 
and other resources energy-related products
1, and in particular Article 11 thereof, 
Whereas: (1) Directive 2010/…/EU provides a framework for adopting delegated acts in respect to 
energy-related products. 
(2) The electricity used by televisions account s for a significant part of total household 
electricity demand in the European Union, th e energy efficiency of televisions can be 
significantly improved, and televisions with equivalent functionality on the market 
have a wide disparity in en ergy efficiency. Televisions s hould therefore be covered by 
energy labelling. 
(3) Harmonised provisions for indicating th e energy efficiency and consumption of 
televisions by labelling and standard product information should be established in 
order to provide incentives for manufacturer s to improve the energy efficiency of 
televisions, encourage end-users to pur chase energy-efficient models, reduce the 
electricity consumption of these products, and contribute to the functioning of the 
internal market.  
(4) The combined effect of energy labelli ng set out in this delegated Regulation and 
Commission Regulation (EC) No 642/2009 of  22 July 2009 implementing Directive 
2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to ecodesign 
requirements for televisions
2 is expected to result in a nnual electricity savings of 43 
TWh by 2020, compared to the situ ation if no measures are taken.

laying down a procedure for th e provision of information in the field of technical 
standards and regulations and of ru les on Information Society services3. 
(6) This delegated Regulation should specify a uniform design and requirements as to the 
content of labels for televisions. 
(7) In addition, this delegate d Regulation should speci fy requirements as to the technical 
documentation and the fiche for televisions. 
(8) Moreover, this delegated Regulation should specify requirements as to the information 
to be provided for any form of distance  selling, advertisements and technical 
promotional material of televisions. 
(9) It is appropriate to provide for a review of the provisions of this delegated Regulation 
taking into account technological progress.

(c) Measurements of luminance ratio shall be made without disturbing the 
luminance meter's detection point on th e display whilst switching between the 
home-mode condition or the on-mode condi tion of the television as set by the 
supplier, as applicable, and the brightest on-mode condition.  
EN 23   EN ANNEX VIII  
Verification procedure for ma rket surveillance purposes  
For the purposes of checking conformity with th e requirements laid down in Articles 3 and 4, , 
the authorities of the Member States shall apply the following verification procedure for the on-mode power consumption referred to in  Annex II and the st andby/off-mode power 
consumption referred to in Annex III, point g. 
(1) Authorities of the Member St ate shall test one single unit. 
(2) The model shall be considered to comply  with the declared value of the on-mode 
power consumption referred to in Annex II and the values for standby and/or off-mode power consumption referred to in Annex III, point g, if: 
(a) the result for on-mode power consum ption does not exceed the applicable 
power consumption value referred to in Annex III by more than 7 %; and 
(b) the results for standby/off-mode cond itions, as applicable, do not exceed the 
values declared under Annex III, point g by more than 0.10 Watts; and  
(c) the result for the peak luminance ratio is above 60%. 
(3) If the results referred to in point (2) (a) or (b) or (c) are not achieved, three additional 
units of the same model shall be tested. 
(4) After three additional units of the same model have been tested, the model shall be 
considered to comply with the declared  value of the on-mode  power consumption 
referred to in Annex II and the values  for standby and/or off-mode power 
consumption referred to in Annex III, point g, if:  
(a) the average of the results for the latter three units for on-mode power 
consumption does not exceed the applicable power consumption value referred to in Annex III by more than 7 %; and  
(b) the average of the results for the latter three units for standby/off-mode 
conditions, as applicable, do not exceed the values declared under Annex III, 
point g by more than 0.10 Watts; and 
(c) the average of the results for the latter  three units for the peak luminance ratio 
set out is above 60%. 
(5) If the results referred to in point (4) (a) or (b) or (c) are not ac hieved, the model shall 
be considered not to comply with the requirements. 
(6) For the purposes of checki ng conformity with the requirements, the authorities of the 
Member States shall use the procedure set out in Annex VII and reliable, accurate and 
reproducible measurement procedures, wh ich take into account the generally 
recognised state of the art measurement me thods, including methods set in documents 
the reference numbers of which have been published for that purpose in the Official 
Journal of the European Union.
