Title: COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) …/... supplementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards energy labelling of electronic displays and repealing Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1062/2010

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
            
            
               1.Context of the delegated act
            
            
               1.1.Legal and political context of the proposal
            
            
               In the EU, the Ecodesign Framework Directive
                  1
                provides a framework that manufacturers of energy-related products are required to use to improve the environmental performance of their products. The framework sets out minimum energy efficiency requirements and other environmental criteria such as water consumption, emission levels or minimum durability of certain components that manufacturers have to fulfil before they can place their products on the market. 
            
            
               The Energy Labelling Framework Regulation
                  2
                complements the Ecodesign Framework Directive by enabling end-consumers to identify the better-performing energy-related products, via an A-G/green-to-red scale
                  3
               . The legislative framework builds upon the combined effect of these two pieces of legislation.
            
            
               The ecodesign and energy labelling framework are central to making Europe more energy efficient, contributing in particular to the 'Energy Union Framework Strategy'
                  4
                and to the priority of a deeper and fairer internal market with a strengthened industrial base
                  5
               . Firstly, this legislative framework pushes industry to improve the energy efficiency of products and removes the worst-performing ones from the market. Secondly, it helps consumers and companies to reduce their energy bills. In the industrial and services sectors, this results in support to competitiveness and innovation. Thirdly, it ensures that manufacturers and importers responsible for placing products on the European Union (EU) market only have to comply with a single EU-wide set of rules.
            
            
               A number of third countries have established or are establishing policy frameworks similar to the European one and a number of energy efficiency labels are mandatory on energy-related products that generally resemble to the European energy efficiency label, such as the Republic of South Africa

               Figure 1: The four energy labels for televisions by the Regulation in force.
            
            
               A study on the impact of the energy label – and potential changes to it – on consumer understanding and on purchase decisions 
                  12
                was completed in October 2014 and was the basis for the review of the energy Labelling Directive 2010/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council
                  13
               . The study revealed that the energy label is recognised and used by 85 % of Europeans
                  14
                and represents the second best known symbol associated to the EU
                  15
               , second to the Euro currency symbol.  The majority of the EU consumers were able to correctly identify the product that was least costly to use indicating that they understand the meaning of the information in the label, such as kWh/annum. Similarly, consumers that understand the meaning of indications resulted more likely to correctly identify the product that is least costly 'for them' to run.
            
            
               In August 2017, the new Energy Labelling framework Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 of the European Parliament and of the Council entered into force, repealing Directive 2010/30/EU
                  16
               . Under the repealed Directive, energy labels were allowed to include A+ to A+++ classes to address the overpopulation of the top classes. Over time, due to technological development, also the A+ to A+++ class became overpopulated, which significantly reduce the effectiveness of the labels. To resolve this, the new framework Regulation requires a rescaling of existing energy labels, back to the original A to G scale. Article 11 of the Energy Labelling framework Regulation lists five priority product groups for which new delegated acts with rescaled energy labels must be adopted at the latest on 2 November 2018. Televisions are one of the priority product groups.
            
            
               Finally, several new policy initiatives indicate that ecodesign and energy labelling policies are relevant in a broader political context, and in particular in:
            
            
               ·the Energy Union Framework Strategy, which calls for a sustainable, low-carbon and climate-friendly economy, 
            
            
               ·the Paris Agreement
                  17
               , which calls for a renewed effort in carbon emission abatement, 
            
            
               ·the Gothenburg Protocol
                  18
               , which aims at controlling air pollution, 
            
            
               ·the Circular Economy Initiative
                  19
               , which among other things, stresses the need to include reparability, recyclability and durability in ecodesign, 
            
            
               ·the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS)
                  20
               , aim at reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in a cost-effective manner and indirectly affected by the energy consumption of the electricity using products in the scope of ecodesign and energy labelling policies, and 
            
            
               ·the Energy Security Strategy
                  21
               , which sets out a strategy to ensure a stable and abundant supply of energy.
            
            
               Under the framework of Ecodesign and Energy Labelling, televisions and television monitors are regulated by Commission Regulation (EC) No 642/2009
                  22
                (Ecodesign) and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1062/2010 (Energy Label)
                  23
               . Article 7 of Regulation (EU) No 1062/2010 requires a review within 5 years (i.e. by December 2015).
            
         
         
            
               Furthermore, the Commission’s 2016-2019 Ecodesign Working Plan
                  24
                also includes the review of both regulations, requiring in particular an examination of how aspects relevant to the circular economy can be assessed and taken on board. This is in line with the Circular Economy Initiative
                  25
               , which concluded that product design is a key in achieving the goals, as it can have significant impacts across the product life cycle (e.g. in making a product more durable, easier to repair, reuse or recycle). Moreover, signage displays are specifically listed in the 2016-2019 Ecodesign Working Plan to be taken up in the revision of the existing regulations for televisions.
            
            
               1.2.General context
            
            
               The Ecodesign together with the Energy Labelling legislative framework
                  26
                represent a push and pull market mechanism aiming at reducing carbon emissions (
               
                  Figure
               
               
                   
               
               
                  2
               
               ) by determining a major impact on the choices that consumers make when purchasing energy consuming products. 
            
            
               The two policy frameworks are contributing to permit to products placed on the EU market to perform the same job using around one fifth less energy. By 2020, use of energy efficiency labels and ecodesign requirements is projected to lead to energy savings of around 165 Mtoe (million tonnes of oil equivalent) in the EU, roughly equivalent to the annual primary energy consumption of Italy. In relative terms, this represents a potential energy saving of approximately 9 % of the EU's total energy consumption and a potential 7 % reduction in carbon emissions. In 2030, savings are projected to grow to 15 % of the EU's total energy consumption and 11 % of its total carbon emissions.
            
            
            
               
                  
            
            
               Figure 2: Effect of Ecodesign alone and when combined with Energy Labelling
            
            
               The two policy frameworks also contribute to the reduction of the consumer expenditure, both by reducing the cost of the electricity bills
                  27
                and the cost of products as manufacturer can reduce the variety of models to produce because of the single regulatory framework at EU level.
            
            
               There have been relevant improvements in the energy efficiency of all electronic displays, mostly thanks to the television manufacturing sector. Computer monitors in particular are not going to represent a major share of energy consumption in the coming years. However, it is estimated that all electronic displays, mainly because they are becoming bigger and more numerous, will continue to account for a sizeable share of energy use, unless corrective action is taken. This is the case of signage displays in particular, which are generally of bigger size and have far higher luminance, as 
               
                  Figure
               
               
                   
               
               
                  3
               
                illustrates.
            
            
               
                  
            
            
               Figure 3: Yearly energy use in TWh, in on-mode of the three most relevant types of electronic displays, 1990-2030 in a business as usual (BAU) scenario (source VHK, 2018).
            
            
               So far, of the different types of electronic displays, only TVs have been subject to mandatory energy labelling measures (under Regulation (EU) 1062/2010) and ecodesign requirements (laid down by Regulation (EC) 642/2009). Other displays are only covered by horizontal requirements (i.e. Standby Commission Regulation (EC) 1275/2008).
            
            
               The regulations in force are based on a preparatory study and assessment that now dates back 10 years
                  28
               . As required by the review clause, in 2012, the Commission started reviewing the two television regulations with a study and presented its conclusions to stakeholders. The review showed already at that time that regulatory gaps and market failures existed, thus preventing full achievement of the identified energy savings potential. The collection of information was extended and data analysis repeated, highlighting the opportunity of corrective action. In total a database of over 3 thousand models of electronic displays placed on the EU market was analysed between 2012 and the end of 2017 in four different stages.
            
            
               Market and regulatory failures have been highlighted since the beginning of the review and a number of new issues have emerged in the meantime that need to be corrected and that can be summarised as follows:
            
            
               –insufficiently stringent minimum and ecodesign requirements and energy labelling applying to TVs due to unpredicted technological change and which led to overpopulating the top classes: already in 2017 over 85 % of televisions sold were in classes above "B";
            
            
               –rapidly progressing functional convergence between different electronic displays, such as televisions, computer monitors, and signage displays, creating possible regulatory loopholes. TVs have been increasingly enabled for web browsing, for watching Internet streamed content or even for gaming and other displays and a variety of different displays are commonly used to watch content traditionally viewed only on TVs. Moreover the obsolete definition of "television monitor" in the Regulation in force may be interpreted as covering many of the computer monitors now on the market
                  29
               ;
            
            
               –lack of requirements for new energy-intensive features, such as high dynamic range (HDR), that first appeared in premium models in 2016 and is progressively available in more affordable models (although the availability of HDR-enabled content is still extremely limited). HDR, when poorly implemented, can more than double the energy consumption of the electronic display;
            
            
               –lack of requirements for resource efficiency aspects.
            
            
               The aim of the proposed Regulation on energy labelling is to provide a renewed incentive to manufacturers to improve the energy efficiency of electronic displays, reboosting the market take-up of energy-efficient products mainly by:
            
            
               ·extending its scope to the most common electronic displays;
            
         
         
            
               ·rescaling the energy label, now ranging from A+++ to D (
               
                  Figure 
               
               
                  1
               
               ), to the original A to G scale; 
            
            
               ·providing customers with indications in the label that better correspond to real-life use and enable them to make a better informed purchase choice, and better compare products that are comparable.
            
            
               1.3.Existing provisions in the area of the proposal
            
            
               The following measures, currently in force, address the environmental performance of electronic displays:
            
            
               –Directive 2010/30/EU
                  30
                on the indication by labelling and standard product information of the consumption of energy and other resources by energy-related products;
            
            
               –Directive 2009/125/EC
                  31
                establishing a framework for the setting of ecodesign requirements for energy-related products ;
            
            
               –Regulation (EU) No 1062/2010
                  32
                with regard to energy labelling of televisions;
            
            
               –Regulation (EC) No 642/2009
                  33
                with regard to ecodesign requirements for televisions.
            
            
               Moreover, Commission Decision 2009/300/EC establishing the revised ecological criteria for the award of the Community Eco-label covers televisions with some stricter energy efficiency requirements and addresses other environmental issues
                  34
               . 
            
            
               Furthermore, standby Regulation 1275/2008 covers the displays not covered by the Television Regulation. Finally, monitors and signage displays were included in the now elapsed EU-US Energy Star Agreement (in Annex C). As a result, monitors and signage displays are today no longer covered by any labelling programme, even on voluntary basis, and no labelling instrument exist to cover these products as public procurement criteria.
            
            
               1.4.Consistency with other EU policies and objectives
            
            
               Promoting market take-up of efficient electronic displays contributes to 2020 and 2030 energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emission reductions objectives
                  35
               . It aims to support more efficient and sustainable use of resources, protect the environment, strengthen the EU’s leadershp in developing new green technologies, improve the business environment and help consumers make more informed choices.
            
            
               2.Consultations prior to the adoption of the act
            
            
               2.1.Consultation of interested parties
            
            
               EU and international stakeholders and Member States' experts have participated in the process from the beginning.
            
            
               The proposal for energy labelling was discussed together with potential ecodesign requirements in four different Consultation Forums (CF) with Member State experts, representatives of manufacturers, environmental non-governemental organisations (‘NGOs’) and consumer organisations. A number of representatives of other organisations also took part in the discussions, such as European organisations representing the recycling industry, repairers, waste management and environmental services (municipalities and the private sector). 
            
            
               All relevant working documents were sent to the Member States, the European Parliament and stakeholders and were published in the Commission’s CIRCA website 30 days before the CF meetings. Following the CF meetings stakeholders were given an additonal 30 days for submitting written comments (available on the CIRCA
                  36
                website).
            
            
               Furthermore, specific aspects of individual requirements were discussed between Commission staff and various stakeholders at several bilateral and multirateral meetings betwen 2013 and March 2018. The process was conducted in an open process, taking into account input from all relevant stakeholders and independent technical experts.
            
            
               In principle, the proposed energy labelling scheme for electronic displays has been supported by Member States and stakeholders. 
            
            
               Regarding the product scope, following the CF in 2012 and the discussion held in a previous CF in 2009
                  37
               , an overwhelming majority of Member States and NGOs agreed on a proposed extension of the labelling scheme to electronic displays other than televisions. Manufacturers, however, requested exceptions or different requirements for specialised displays, such as public displays, professional monitors for graphic applications and broadcast monitors.
            
         
         
            
               The proposed energy labelling measure incorporates the comments expressed by Member States and stakeholders at and after the three CF meetings. 
            
            
               During the preparatory process, additional additiona evidence and data has been collected for the Impact Assessment of 2013
                  38
                and its update in 2015 (see further). Market and technical data were acquired through several bilateral and multilateral meetings with stakeholders or via publicly available data
                  39
               .
            
            
               Furthermore, the Commission established a dataset of information about the environmental performance of electronic displays (mainly, televisions and computer monitors), updated four times to reflect the market, to support the development of the proposed ecodesign and energy labelling measures. This helps to ensure that the requirements are laid down at the proper ambition level and that they reflect recent technology developments. 
            
            
               An online public consultation 
                  40
                took place from 12 February to 7 May 2018, to collect stakeholders' views on issues such as the expected effect of potential legislative measures on business and energy consumption trends.
            
            
               The public consultation contained a common part on Ecodesign and Energy labelling, followed by product-specific questions on (i) refrigerators, (ii) dishwashers, (iii) washing machines, (iii) televisions, (iv) electronic displays and (v) lighting. 
            
            
               1 230 responses were received of which 67 % were consumers and 19 % businesses (of which three quarters were SMEs and one-quarter large companies). NGOs made up 6 % of respondents, and 7 % were "other" categories. National or local governments were under 1 % of respondents, and 0,25 % came from national market surveillance authorities (MSAs). 
            
            
               It should be noted that of the 1 230 respondents, 719 (58 %) replied only to lighting related questions as part of a coordinated campaign on lighting in theatres. 
            
            
               Some 63 % of the participants were in favour of including Ecodesign requirements on reparability and durability, and 65 % of respondents considered that this information should be on energy labels. 
            
            
               On the reparability of products, participants valued mostly as "very important" to "important" (in the range 62 %-68 %)
                  41
                each of the following: a warranty, the availability of spare parts, and a complete manual for repair and maintenance. The delivery time of spare parts was rated as 56 % "very important" to "important".
            
            
               For electronic displays, the public consultation was mainly focused on options for a redesigned energy label. The majority of respondents considered that the label should show at least the display screen area, its resolution level, the use of high dynamic range (HDR) and the annual power consumption.
            
            
               2.2.Impact assessment
            
            
               An impact assessment (IA) of the possible policy measures was carried out pursuant to Article 15(4)(b) of Directive 2009/125/EC. A previous impact assessment was prepared in 2013 (approved by the Impact Assessment Board (IAB) on 4 September 2013 and a full update was completed in 2015. The impact assessment accompanying the current proposal is an extensivereview of the previous one, using updated evidence additional stock market data and taking into consideration the comments received before, during and after the four mentioned Consultation Forums, the position letters addressed to the Commission over the last 6 years from the beginning of the review process and the online public consultation. The Regulatory Scrutiny Board required a review of a first draft t of the Impact Assessment submitted, improving clearness in respect to the problem definition and beter integration of circular economy aspects. A second edition, with improved coverage of circular economy aspects and better description of the consultation process was given a positive opinion. 
            
            
               Different policy options for achieving a market transformation fulfilling the appropriate level of ambition were considered, including: no new EU action (‘business-as-usual’ of BAU;, termination of the existing television regulations, a self-regulation measure concluded by industry, all discarded, and revision of the existing television regulations (articulated into three options, indicated as ‘ECO’, ‘Ambi’ and ‘Leni’).
            
            
               The impacts of a policy option comprising an introduction of a new energy label for televisions and other electronic displays (together with new ecodesign requirements) were assessed against the ‘business-as-usual’ scenario. Three different proposals for revised energy labelling (and ecodesign) measures were analysed. The ECO proposal corresponds to the working documents presented to the CF of July 2017 and based on the proposals presented during the two previous discussions of 2014 and of 2012. The Ambi option partially
                  42
                incorporates the strong and renewed request by various Member States and NGOs to extend the scope to signage displays, while the Leni fully responds to the manufacturers request for  more lenient requirements for new features and technologies, such as UHD/HDR and OLED.
            
            
               Based on an assessment of costs and benefits, a combination of energy labelling and ecodesign requirements for electronic displays emerged as a preferred option to address regulatory and market failures in the electronic displays sector.
            
            
               Consequently, the option of introducing a labelling scheme for energy efficiency of the three main display product categories was chosen, together with ecodesign requirements, as it delivers the highest savings.
            
            
               An internal Consultation process followed, with a number of suggestions and detailed improvements incorporated in the draft legislative proposal and in accompaning cosuments.
            
            
               3.Legal elements of the Delegated Act
            
            
               The proposed measure applies to electronic displays irrespective of the display technology. Displays not in the scope of the Ecodesign Regulation for on-mode requirements are completely out of scope of energy labelling, apart from signage displays, where a correction factor is used to take into account the higher luminosity characterising this product group in relation to televisions or computer monitors
                  43
               .
            
            
               Displays integrated into other products, such as computers, refrigerators, vending machines, etc. are completely out of the scope of both the Ecodesign and Labelling Regulations, as are displays in means of transport, and medical displays.
            
         
         
            
               The proposed measure uses the same "formula" of eco-design to calculate the Energy Efficiency Index (EEI) in order to have a correct correspondence between the lowest limit of the "G" class and the maximum energy use allowed in the Ecodesign Regulation to access the EU market. The requirements will be introduced in three tiers, with Tier 2 (by 2022) of ecodesign involving the elimination of the ‘G’ class and Tier 3 (by 2024) the elimination of the ‘F’ class.

               A comparison between the current energy classes and the new ones can be only approximated, as the formula to set the limits is different: a linear bar in the current Regulation, a curve in the new proposal.

                provides a visual distribution of the electronic displays which are part of the 2014-2017 dataset used in the hypothesis that the same displays would be on the market when rescaling the televisions and setting labelling requirements for the other monitors would not be within the scope of the current Regulation. All displays above the red curve would be eliminated by the minimum ecodesign requirements. However, it is unlikely that models on the market in 2014 will still be available on the market in 2021.

                  Figure 8
               
                illustrates the expected trend in energy labelling under the ECO scenario. Under the Lenient scenario, the lower classes would include more products (as more products are allowed on the market under Ecodesign). In the Ambitious scenario, where signage displays fall within the scope, it is also expected that the lower energy label classes will be more populated. ‘Edx’ indicates the three different tiers proposed in ecodesign.

               There are considerable uncertainties in future projections for this product group because new technologies may result in ‘tipping points’ improving energy efficiency
                  44
                and new features eroding some savings. 
            
            
               Finally, no direct relation has been demonstrated between retail prices and the level of energy efficiency in electronic displays, as a number of factors, other than energy use, are decisive in determining the product cost, such as display size, adoption of new technologies, available features particularly in terms of ‘smartness’, etc. 
            
            
               The new label would include two energy classes, one for the traditional way of playing images
                  45
                and a separate one for HDR, shown separately in the label. The reason is that because of the novelty of HDR and the scarce data available, no minimum energy efficiency index has been set in the Ecodesign Regulation and no weighted mix of the standard dynamic range (SDR) and HDR would be acceptable
                  46
               .
            
         
         
            
               Displays of the same size and resolution level should be compared. Therefore, the label would contain the basic information to compare comparable displays. Finally, the label would indicate whether the display is powered via an external and standardised power supply
                  47
                and a pictogram variant would indicate if the power supply is present in the packaging or not. The diffusion of standardised external power supplies (EPS, also improperly called "chargers"), converting AC 230 Volt current into low voltage DC current has a multi-fold relevance in terms of reparability, durability, health and recyclability, i.e.:
            
            
               ·repairs are more convenient: A broken EPS can be replaced by any user at moderate/low cost while an internal one would require a technician and often is not cost-effective
                  48
               ;
            
            
               ·there is an unbundling of products with different lifespans
                  49
               ;
            
            
               ·fewer or no flame retardants are needed: removing the power source from the interior of an electronic display reduces or possibly nullifies the need to use flame retardants in plastics
                  50
               .
            
            
               4.Legal basis, Subsidiarity and Proportionality
            
            
               4.1.Legal basis
            
            
               The proposed Regulation is an delegated measure adopted pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2017/1369, in particular Articles 11 and 16 thereof. Regulation (EU) 2017/1369, in turn, is based on Articles 194(2) of the Treaty.
            
            
               4.2.Subsidiarity principle
            
            
               The adoption of energy labelling measures for electronic displays by individual Member States, through their national legislation, would create obstacles to the free movement of goods within the EU. It is necessary for such measures in force throughout the EU to have the same content. In line with the principle of subsidiarity, it is thus appropriate for the measures in question to be adopted at EU level.
            
            
               4.3.Proportionality principle
            
            
               In accordance with the principle of proportionality, this measure does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve the objective, which is to set harmonised energy labelling requirements for electronic displays. It repeals and replaces an existing Regulation. It sets requirements that act as an incentive for technology leaders to invest in high-efficiency electronic displays.
            
            
               5.Choice of instrument
            
            
               Proposed instrument: Delegated Regulation.
            
            
               Other means would not be appropriate for the following reason(s):
            
            
               The form of the implementing measure is a regulation, which is directly applicable in all Member States. This has been chosen because the objectives of the action can be achieved most efficiently by introducing fully harmonised requirements throughout the EU. Furthermore, it repeals and replaces an existing Commission regulation. Moreover, it ensures that national and EU administrations will not incur costs transposing the implementing legislation into national legislation.
            
            
               6.Budgetary implication
            
            
               The proposal has no implications for the EU budget.
            
            
               7.Additional information
            
            
               Review/revision/sunset clause
            
            
               The proposal includes a review clause.
            
         
         
            
               European Economic Area
            
            
               The proposed Regulation concerns an EEA matter and should therefore extend to the European Economic Area.

               , and in particular Article 11(5) and Article 16 thereof, 
            
            
               Whereas:
            
            
               (1)Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 of the European Parliament and of the Council  empowers the Commission to adopt delegated acts as regards the labelling or re-scaling of the labelling of product groups representing significant potential for energy savings and, where relevant, other resources.
            
            
               (2)Provisions on the energy labelling of televisions were established by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1062/2010
                  52
               .
            
            
               (3)The Ecodesign Working Plan 2016-2019 established by the Commission in application of Article 16(1) of Directive 2009/125/EC sets out the working priorities under the ecodesign and energy labelling framework for the period 2016-2019. The Working Plan identifies the energy-related product groups to be considered as priorities for the undertaking of preparatory studies and eventual adoption of implementing measures, as well as the review of the current regulations.
            
            
               (4)Measures from the Working Plan have an estimated potential to deliver a total in excess of 260 TWh of annual final energy savings in 2030, which is equivalent to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 100 million tonnes per year in 2030. Electronic displays are one of the product groups listed in the Working Plan, with an estimated 39 TWh of annual final energy savings in 2030. 
            
            
               (5)Televisions are among the product groups mentioned in Article 11(5)(b) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 for which the Commission should adopt a delegated act introducing an A to G rescaled label.
            
            
               (6)Regulation (EU) No 1062/2010 required the Commission to review the regulation in light of technological progress. 
            
            
               (7)The Commission has reviewed Regulation (EU) No 1062/2010 pursuant to Article 7 of that Regulation and analysed technical, environmental and economic aspects of televisions and other electronic displays, including monitors and signage displays as well as real-life user understanding and behaviour of different labelling elements. The review was carried out in close cooperation with stakeholders and interested parties from the Union and third countries. The results of the review were made public and presented to the Consultation Forum referred to in Article 14 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1369. 
            
            
               (8)It appears from the review that the same requirements for televisions should also apply to monitors because of the rapidly increasing functionality overlap between such displays and televisions, whilst for signage displays specific energy requirements should be set. Moreover, signage displays are specifically listed in the Commission’s 2016-2019 Ecodesign Working Plan to be taken up in the revision of the existing regulations for televisions. The scope of this Regulation should thus comprise electronic displays including televisions, monitors and signage displays.
            
            
               (9)The annual energy consumption in 2016 of televisions in the Union constituted more than 3 % of the Union’s electricity consumption. The projected energy consumption of televisions, monitors and signage displays in a business as usual scenario is expected be close to 100 TWh/yr in 2030. This Regulation, together with the accompanying ecodesign regulation, is estimated to reduce the overall consumption up to 39 TWh/yr by 2030.
            
            
               (10)The high dynamic range (HDR) encoding function may lead to a different energy use, suggesting a separate energy efficiency indication for such a function.
            
         
         
            
               (11)The material efficiency aspect of electronic displays identified as significant for the purposes of this Regulation is the encouragement of unbundling of standardised external power supplies.
            
            
               (12)The information provided on the label for the electronic displays in the scope of this Regulation should be obtained through reliable, accurate and repeatable measurement procedures, which take into account the recognised state of the art measurement methods including, where available, harmonised standards adopted by the European standardisation organisations, as listed in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council
                  53
               .
            
            
               (13)Recognising the growth of sales of energy-related product through web-stores and internet sales platforms, rather than directly from suppliers, it should be clarified that service providers of web-stores and internet sales platforms should be responsible for displaying the label provided by the supplier in proximity to the price, as from Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 518/2014
                  54
               . 
            
            
               (14)To improve the effectiveness of this Regulation, products that automatically alter their performance in test conditions to improve the declared parameters should be prohibited. 
            
            
               (15)The measures provided for in this Regulation were discussed by the Consultation Forum referred to in Article 14 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1369.
            
            
               (16)Regulation (EU) No 1062/2010 should be repealed,
            
            
               HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

               (a)ABC is enabled by default in the normal configuration of the electronic display and persists in any other standard dynamic range configuration, with the exception of the brightest on mode configuration.
            
            
               (b)the value of Pmeasured, in the normal configuration, is measured, with ABC disabled or if ABC cannot be disabled, in an ambient light condition of 100 lux measured at the ABC sensor;
            
            
               (c)the value of Pmeasured with ABC disabled shall be equal to or greater than the on mode power measured with ABC enabled in an ambient light condition of 100 lux measured at the ABC sensor;
            
            
               (d)with ABC enabled, the measured value of the on mode power must decrease by 20 % or more when the ambient light condition, measured at the ABC sensor, is reduced from 100 lux to 12 lux;
            
            
               (e)the ABC control of the display screen luminance must meet all of the following characteristics when the ambient light condition measured at the ABC sensor changes:
            
            
               –the measured screen luminance at 60 lux is between 65 % and 95 % of the screen luminance measured at 100 lux;
            
            
               –the measured screen luminance at 35 lux is between 50 % and 80 % of the screen luminance measured at 100 lux; 
            
            
               –the measured screen luminance at 12 lux is between 35 % and 70 % of the screen luminance measured at 100 lux.
            
            
               (3)Electronic displays requiring an external standardised AC to DC EPS
            
            
               For electronic display products supplied with a standardised DC power connection and placed on the market without the suitable standardised external AC to DC power supply in the packaging, Pmeasured for the purposes of the EEI calculation shall be the DC input power.

               ANNEX IV
               Measurement and calculation methods
            
            
               For the purposes of compliance and verification of compliance with the applicable requirements of this Regulation, measurements and calculations shall be made using harmonised standards, the reference numbers of which have been published in the Official Journal of the European Union or using other reliable, accurate and reproducible methods which take into account the generally recognised state-of-the-art. They shall be in line with the provisions set out in this Annex.
            
            
               1.Measurements of on mode power demand
            
            
               Measurements of the on mode power demand shall fulfil all of the following conditions:
            
            
               (1)Conditions of electronic displays for measuring the on mode power demand:
            
            
               (a)electronic displays shall be measured in the normal configuration;
            
            
               (b)where an electronic display has an audio-set configuration, this shall be activated during on mode power demand measurements according to the instructions provided under Annex VI.5.(d)iv.
            
         
         
            
               (2)General conditions:
            
            
               (a)measurements shall be made at an ambient temperature of 23 °C +/– 5 °C;
            
            
               (b)measurements shall be made using a standardised dynamic broadcast video signal test loops representing typical broadcast content for electronic displays. For the HDR measurement the electronic display must automatically and correctly respond to the HDR metadata in the test loop. The measurement shall be the average power consumed over 10 consecutive minutes;
            
            
               (c)measurements shall be made after the electronic display has been in the off-mode for a minimum of 1 hour immediately followed by a minimum of 1 hour in the on mode and shall be completed before a maximum of 3 hours in on-mode. The relevant video signal shall be displayed during the entire on mode duration. For electronic displays that are known to stabilise within 1 hour, these durations may be reduced if the resulting measurement can be shown to be within 2 % of the results that would otherwise be achieved using the durations described here;
            
            
               (d)where the ABC function exists, measurements shall be made with it switched off. If the ABC function cannot be switched off, then the measurements shall be performed in an ambient light condition of 100 lux measured at the ABC sensor.
            
            
               2.Measurements of peak luminance
            
            
               Measurements of the peak luminance shall fulfil both of the following conditions: 
            
            
               (1)measurements of peak luminance shall be made with the electronic display in SDR and not HDR mode with a luminance meter detecting that portion of the screen exhibiting a full (100 %) white image which is part of a ‘full screen test’ test pattern. The average picture level (APL) of the test pattern must not exceed the point where the electronic display luminance is affected by power limiting or other irregularities in the pixel drive system of the electronic display;
            
            
               (2)measurements of luminance shall be made without disturbing the luminance meter’s detection point on the electronic display. The required measurements are the value of peak white luminance in the normal configuration and the value of peak white luminance in the brightest on mode configuration. The latter setting should be as provided for in Annex I(12)

               Verification procedure for market surveillance purposes 
            
            
               The verification tolerances set out in this Annex relate only to the verification of the measured parameters by Member State authorities. These tolerances shall not be used by the supplier as an allowed tolerance to establish the values in the technical documentation. The values and classes on the label or in the product information sheet shall not be more favourable for the supplier than the values reported in the technical documentation.
            
            
               When verifying the compliance of a product model with the requirements laid down in this Regulation, for the requirements referred to in this Annex, the authorities of the Member States shall apply 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 applicable requirements if:
            
            
               (a)the values given in the technical documentation pursuant to Article 3.3 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 (declared values), and, where applicable, the values used to calculate these values, are not more favourable for the supplier than the corresponding values given in the test reports; and
            
            
               (b)the values published on the label and in the product information sheet are not more favourable for the supplier than the declared values, and the indicated energy efficiency class is not more favourable for the supplier than the class determined by the declared values; and 
            
            
               (c)when the Member State authorities test the unit of the model, the determined values (the values of the relevant parameters as measured in testing and the values calculated from these measurements) comply with the respective verification tolerances as given in Table 1.
            
            
               (3)If the results referred to in points 2(a) or (b) are not achieved, the model and all equivalent models shall be considered not to comply with this Regulation.
            
            
               (4)If the result referred to in point 2(c) is not achieved, 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 different models that have been listed as equivalent models in the supplier's technical documentation.
            
            
               (5)The model shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements if for these three units, the arithmetical mean of the determined values complies with the respective tolerances given in Table 7.
            
            
               (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.
            
            
               (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 being taken on the non-compliance of the model according to points 3 and 6.
            
            
               The Member State authorities shall use the measurement and calculation methods set out in Annex IV.
            
            
               The Member State authorities shall only apply the verification tolerances that are set out in Table 7 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 harmonised standards or in any other measurement method, shall be applied.
