         of 23 February 2021
         amending Regulations (EU) 2019/424, (EU) 2019/1781, (EU) 2019/2019, (EU) 2019/2020, (EU) 2019/2021, (EU) 2019/2022, (EU) 2019/2023 and (EU) 2019/2024 with regard to ecodesign requirements for servers and data storage products, electric motors and variable speed drives, refrigerating appliances, light sources and separate control gears, electronic displays, household dishwashers, household washing machines and household washer-dryers and refrigerating appliances with a direct sales function
         (Text with EEA relevance)
         THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
         Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
         Having regard to Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 establishing a framework for the setting of ecodesign requirements for energy-related products (1), and in particular Article 15 thereof,
         Whereas:
         
                     (1)
                  
                  
                     Directive 2009/125/EC empowers the Commission to set ecodesign requirements for energy-related products.
                  
               
                     (2)
                  
                  
                     Provisions on the ecodesign of servers and data storage products, electric motors and variable speed drives, refrigerating appliances, light sources and separate control gears, electronic displays, household dishwashers, household washing machines and household washer-dryers, and refrigerating appliances with a direct sales function were established by Commission Regulations (EU) 2019/424 (2), (EU) 2019/1781 (3), (EU) 2019/2019 (4), (EU) 2019/2020 (5), (EU) 2019/2021 (6), (EU) 2019/2022 (7), (EU) 2019/2023 (8) and (EU) 2019/2024 (9) (thereafter the ‘amended Regulations’).
                  
               
                     (3)
                  
                  
                     In order to avoid confusion for manufacturers and national market surveillance authorities about the values to be included in technical documentation, and in relation to verification tolerances, a definition of declared values should be added in the amended Regulations.
                  
               
                     (4)
                  
                  
                     To improve the effectiveness and credibility of the product-specific Regulations and to protect consumers, products able to detect being tested and to automatically alter their performance in test conditions with the objective of reaching a more favourable level for any of the parameters specified in these Regulations or included in the technical documentation or included in any of the documentation provided should not be allowed to be placed on the market.
                  
               
                     (5)
                  
                  
                     The relevant product parameters should be measured or calculated using reliable, accurate and reproducible methods. Those methods should take into account recognised state-of-the-art measurement methods including, where available, harmonised standards adopted by the European standardisation bodies, as listed in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (10).
                  
               
                     (6)
                  
                  
                     Products containing light sources from which these light sources cannot be removed for verification without damaging one or more of them, should be tested as light sources for compliance assessment and verification.
                  
               
                     (7)
                  
                  
                     For electronic displays and for servers and data storage products, harmonised standards have not yet been developed, and relevant existing standards do not cover all necessary regulated parameters, notably as regards High Dynamic Range and Auto Brightness Control for electronic displays and the operating condition class for servers and data storage products. Until the adoption of harmonised standards by the European standardisation bodies for this product group, the transitional methods set out in this Regulation or other reliable, accurate and reproducible methods, which take into account the generally recognised state-of-the-art, should be used in order to ensure the comparability of measurements and calculations.
                  
               
                     (8)
                  
                  
                     Electronic displays for professional use such as video-editing, computer-aided design, graphics or for the broadcast sector, possess enhanced performance and very specific features that, although usually involving higher energy use, should not be subject to on-mode energy efficiency requirements set for more generic products. Industrial displays designed for use in harsh operating conditions for measuring, testing or process monitoring and control have specific and high requirements, such as those for minimum ingress protection (IP) level 65 as defined in EN 60529 and should not be subject to eco-design requirements set for products designed for use in commercial or domestic environments.
                  
               
                     (9)
                  
                  
                     Vertical static-air cabinets with non-transparent doors are professional refrigerating appliances and are defined in Commission Regulation (EU) 2015/1095 (11), and therefore should be excluded from Regulation (EU) 2019/2024.
                  
               
                     (10)
                  
                  
                     Further amendments should be made to improve clarity and consistency amongst the Regulations.
                  
               
                     (11)
                  
                  
                     The measures provided for in this Regulation were discussed by the Consultation Forum in accordance with Article 18 of Directive 2009/125/EC.
                  
               
                     (12)
                  
                  
                     Regulations (EU) 2019/424, (EU) 2019/1781, (EU) 2019/2019, (EU) 2019/2020, (EU) 2019/2021, (EU) 2019/2022, (EU) 2019/2023 and (EU) 2019/2024 should therefore be amended accordingly.
                  
               
                     (13)
                  
                  
                     The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 19 of Directive 2009/125/EC,

               (1)  This is necessary because of the wide variation of APA cards in the market and the fact that the SERT tool does not include any worklets which exercise APAs. Therefore, SERT efficiency results for servers with the expansion APA cards or other add-in cards would not be representative of the performance/power capability of the server.

                                                The 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.

                                                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.

                                                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 (P
                                                   av) 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.

                                                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..

                                                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.

                                                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.

                                          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 20 000 lux for data gathering for future reviews of the Regulation.

                              1.2.1.   UUT (display) and measuring instrument set up
                              
                              
                                 
                              
                                 Figure 1: Physical set up of Display and ambient light source
                              
                              If 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 20 000 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 Setting
                              
                              An 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 measurements
                              
                              When 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.
                              1.2.5.1   ABC Latency Profiling
                              The 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.
                              1.2.5.2   Light Source Illumination Control
                              For 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.
                              1.2.5.3   Light Source Colour Temperature Control
                              A 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.
                              1.2.5.4   Data Recording
                              The 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 measurements
                              
                              With 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 power
                              
                              For 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.
                              
                                 Method
                              
                              Set 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 (P
                                    measured
                                  (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 (P
                                    measured
                                  (HDR) = recharge energy /total playback time).
                              1.2.8.   Measure power requirement of low power and off modes
                              
                              Test 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.;
