                               Guidelines for proper use of the Energy Star name and common logo
         The ENERGY STAR name and Common logo are marks of the U.S. EPA. As such, the name and Common logo may only
         be used in accordance with the following guidelines and the Partnership Agreement or the European Commission
         Registration Form signed by Program Participants in the ENERGY STAR labelling program. Please distribute these
         guidelines to those who will be responsible for preparing ENERGY STAR materials on your behalf.
         U.S. EPA, and the European Commission, in the European Union Member States Territory oversee proper use of the
         ENERGY STAR name and Common logo. This includes monitoring the use of the marks in the marketplace, and directly
         contacting those organisations that are using them improperly or without authorisation. Consequences of misusing the
         marks may include the termination of the Program Participant's participation in the ENERGY STAR labelling program,
         and, for products imported into the U.S. improperly using the marks, the possible seizure by the U.S. Customs Services of
         those goods.
         General Guidelines
         The ENERGY STAR Program is a partnership between businesses and organisations on one side and the US Federal
         government or the European Union on the other side. As part of this partnership, businesses and organisations can use
         the ENERGY STAR name and Common logo, as part of their energy efficiency and environmental activities.
         Organisations must enter into an agreement with a management entity – the Environmental Protection Agency for the US
         or the European Commission for the EU– to use the marks as provided in this document. Alterations to these marks are
         not allowed as the alterations would confuse businesses and consumers about the source of the ENERGY STAR program
         and reduce its value for all.
         Organisations using these marks must abide by the following general guidelines:
         1. The ENERGY STAR name and Common Logo may never be used in any manner that would imply endorsement of a
            company, its products, or its services. Neither the Common Logo nor the ENERGY STAR name may be used in any
            other company name or logo, product name, service name, domain name, or Web site title, nor may the Common
            Logo, the ENERGY STAR name, or any similar mark be applied for as a trademark, or as part of a trademark by any
            entity other than the U.S. EPA.
         2. The ENERGY STAR name and Common Logo may never be used in a manner that would disparage ENERGY STAR,
            EPA, the Department of Energy, the European Union, the European Commission, or any other government body.
         3. The Common Logo may never be associated with products that do not qualify as ENERGY STAR.
         4. Partners and other authorised organisations are responsible for their own use of the ENERGY STAR name and
            Common Logo, as well as use by their representatives, such as ad agencies and implementation contractors.
         Using the ENERGY STAR Name
         — The ENERGY STAR name should always appear in capital letters;
         — The registration symbol ® must be used with the first time the words ‘ENERGY STAR’ appear in material for the U.S.
             market;
         And
         — The ® symbol should always be in superscript;
         — There shall be no space between the words ‘ENERGY STAR’ and the ® symbol;
         — The ® symbol shall be repeated in a document for each chapter title or Web page.

        Using the Common Logo
        The Common Logo is a mark to be used as a label only on those products that meet or exceed ENERGY STAR
        performance guidelines.
        Uses of the Common Logo include:
        — On a qualifying and registered product;
        — In product literature for a qualifying product;
        — On the Web to identify a qualifying product;
        — In advertising where it is used near to or on a qualifying product;
        — On Point of Purchase materials;
        — On qualifying product packaging.
        Appearance of the Common Logo
        US EPA created this mark to maximise the visual impression of the mark and for contrast and legibility. The mark
        includes the ENERGY STAR symbol in a block with the ENERGY STAR name in a block directly below to reinforce the
        legibility of the symbol. The two blocks are separated by a white rule equal in thickness to the arc within the symbol. The
        mark also has a white key line around it that is also equal in thickness to the arc within the symbol.
        Clear Space
        U.S. EPA and the EU Commission require that a clear space of .333 (1/3) the height of the graphic box within the mark
        surround the mark at all times. No other graphic elements, such as text and images can appear in this area. U.S. EPA and
        the EU Commission require this clear space since the Common Logo frequently appears on materials using complex
        imagery such as other marks, graphic devices, and text.
        Minimum Size
        The mark may be resized, but the proportions must be maintained. For legibility, we recommend that the mark not be
        reproduced smaller in width than .375 inch (3/8″; 9.5 mm) for print. Lettering legibility inside the mark must be
        maintained on the Web.
        Preferred Colour
        The preferred colour for the mark is 100 % Cyan. Alternate versions in black or reversed out to white are allowed. The
        Web colour equivalent of 100 % Cyan is hex colour #0099FF. If multicolour printing is available for advertising, product
        literature, or point of purchase materials the mark should be printed in 100 % Cyan. If this colour is not available, then
        black can be substituted.
        Incorrect Uses of the Mark
        Please:
        — Do not use the mark on non-qualifying products.
        — Do not alter the mark by using the ENERGY STAR symbol block without the block containing the name ‘ENERGY
             STAR’.
        When reproducing the mark please:
        — Do not make the mark an outline.
        — Do not use a white mark on a white background.

         — Do not change the colours of the mark.
         — Do not distort the mark in any way.
         — Do not alter the lock up of the mark.
         — Do not place the mark on a busy image.
         — Do not rotate the mark.
         — Do not separate any of the mark's elements.
         — Do not substitute any part of the mark.
         — Do not use any other typeface to replace part of the mark.
         — Do not violate the clear space of the mark.
         — Do not skew the mark.
         — Do not change the size of the mark lock up.
         — Do not replace the approved wording.
         — Do not use the Common Logo in an unapproved colour.
         — Do not let text run into the mark.
         — Do not use the symbol block alone. The ENERGY STAR name must appear as well.
         — Do not delete the symbol block from the mark.
         Writing and Talking About ENERGY STAR
         To maintain and build the value of ENERGY STAR, U.S. EPA and the EU Commission recommend terminology to use
         when writing and talking about elements of the program.

                                                                 ANNEX C
                                                       COMMON SPECIFICATIONS
                                                      I. COMPUTER SPECIFICATIONS
         1. Definitions
         A. Computer: A device which performs logical operations and processes data. Computers are composed of, at a
             minimum: (1) a central processing unit (CPU) to perform operations; (2) user input devices such as a keyboard,
             mouse, digitizer or game controller; and (3) a computer display screen to output information. For the purposes of this
             specification, computers include both stationary and portable units, including desktop computers, integrated desktop
             computers, notebook computers, small-scale servers, thin clients and workstations. Although computers must be
             capable of using input devices and computer displays, as noted in numbers 2 and 3 above, computer systems do not
             need to include these devices on shipment to meet this definition.
             Components
         B. Computer Display: A display screen and its associated electronics encased in a single housing, or within the computer
             housing (e.g., notebook or integrated desktop computer), that is capable of displaying output information from a
             computer via one or more inputs, such as a VGA, DVI, Display Port, and/or IEEE 1394. Examples of computer display
             technologies are the cathode-ray tube (CRT) and liquid crystal display (LCD).
         C. Discrete Graphics Processing Unit (GPU): A graphics processor with a local memory controller interface and a local,
             graphics-specific memory.
         D. External Power Supply: A component contained in a separate physical enclosure external to the computer casing and
             designed to convert line voltage AC input from the mains to lower DC voltage(s) for the purpose of powering the
             computer. An external power supply must connect to the computer via a removable or hard-wired male/female
             electrical connection, cable, cord or other wiring.
          E. Internal Power Supply: A component internal to the computer casing and designed to convert AC voltage from the
             mains to DC voltage(s) for the purpose of powering the computer components. For the purposes of this specification,
             an internal power supply must be contained within the computer casing but be separate from the main computer
             board. The power supply must connect to the mains through a single cable with no intermediate circuitry between
             the power supply and the mains power. In addition, all power connections from the power supply to the computer
             components, with the exception of a DC connection to a computer display in an Integrated Desktop Computer, must
             be internal to the computer casing (i.e., no external cables running from the power supply to the computer or
             individual components). Internal DC-to-DC converters used to convert a single DC voltage from an external power
             supply into multiple voltages for use by the computer are not considered internal power supplies.
             Computer Types
          F. Desktop Computer: A computer where the main unit is intended to be located in a permanent location, often on a
             desk or on the floor. Desktops are not designed for portability and utilise an external computer display, keyboard, and
             mouse. Desktops are designed for a broad range of home and office applications.
         G. Small-Scale Server: A computer that typically uses desktop components in a desktop form factor, but is designed
             primarily to be a storage host for other computers. A computer must have the following characteristics to be
             considered a Small-Scale Server:
             (a) Designed in a pedestal, tower, or other form factor similar to those of desktop computers such that all data
                 processing, storage, and network interfacing is contained within one box/product;
             (b) Intended to be operational 24 hours/day and 7 days/week, and unscheduled downtime is extremely low (in the
                 order of hours/year);
             (c) Capable of operating in a simultaneous multi-user environment serving several users through networked client
                 units; and
             (d) Designed for an industry-accepted operating system for home or low-end server applications (e.g., Windows
                 Home Server, Mac OS X Server, Linux, UNIX, Solaris).
 ---pagebreak--- L 63/18          EN                               Official Journal of the European Union                                              6.3.2013
            (e) Small-Scale Servers are designed to perform functions such as providing network infrastructure services (e.g.,
                archiving) and hosting data/media. These products are not designed to process information for other systems or
                run web servers as a primary function.
            (f) This specification does not cover Computer Servers as defined in the ENERGY STAR Version 1.0 Computer Server
                specification. Small-Scale Servers covered by this specification are limited to computers marketed for non-data­
                centre operation (e.g. homes, small offices).
        H. Integrated Desktop Computer: A desktop system in which the computer and computer display function as a single
            unit which receives its AC power through a single cable. Integrated desktop computers come in one of two possible
            forms: (1) a system where the computer display and computer are physically combined into a single unit; or (2) a
            system packaged as a single system where the computer display is separate but is connected to the main chassis by a
            DC power cord and both the computer and computer display are powered from a single power supply. As a subset of
            desktop computers, integrated desktop computers are typically designed to provide similar functionality as desktop
            systems.
         I. Thin Client: An independently-powered computer that relies on a connection to remote computing resources to
            obtain primary functionality. Main computing (e.g., programme execution, data storage, interaction with other
            Internet resources, etc.) takes place using the remote computing resources. Thin Clients covered by this specification
            are limited to devices with no rotational storage media integral to the computer. The main unit of a Thin Client
            covered by this specification must be intended for location in a permanent location (e.g. on a desk) and not for
            portability.
         J. Notebook Computer: A computer designed specifically for portability and to be operated for extended periods of time
            either with or without a direct connection to an AC power source. Notebooks must utilise an integrated computer
            display and be capable of operation off an integrated battery or other portable power source. In addition, most
            notebooks use an external power supply and have an integrated keyboard and pointing device. Notebook computers
            are typically designed to provide similar functionality to desktops, including operation of software similar in func­
            tionality as that used in desktops. For the purposes of this specification, docking stations are considered accessories
            and therefore the performance levels associated with notebooks presented in Section 3, below, do not include them.
            Tablet PCs, which may use touch-sensitive screens along with or instead of other input devices, are considered
            Notebook Computers in this specification.
        K. Workstation: A high-performance, single-user computer typically used for graphics, CAD, software development,
            financial and scientific applications among other compute-intensive tasks. To qualify as a workstation, a computer
            must:
            (a) Be marketed as a workstation;
            (b) Have a mean time between failures (MTBF) of at least 15 000 hours based on either Bellcore TR-NWT-000332,
                issue 6, 12/97 or field collected data; and
            (c) Support error-correcting code (ECC) and/or buffered memory.
            (d) In addition, a workstation must meet three of the following six optional characteristics:
            (e) Have supplemental power support for high-end graphics (i.e., PCI-E 6-pin 12V supplemental power feed);
            (f) The system is wired for greater than x4 PCI-E on the motherboard in addition to the graphics slot(s) and/or PCI-X
                support;
            (g) Does not support Uniform Memory Access (UMA) graphics;
            (h) Includes five or more PCI, PCIe or PCI-X slots;
            (i) Capable of providing multi-processor support to two or more processors (must support physically separate
                processor packages/sockets, i.e., not met with support for a single multi-core processor); and/or
            (j) Be qualified by at least two Independent Software Vendor (ISV) product certifications; these certifications can be in
                process, but must be completed within 3 months of qualification.
            Operational Modes
        L. Off Mode: The power consumption level in the lowest power mode which cannot be switched off (influenced) by the
            user and that may persist for an indefinite time when the appliance is connected to the main electricity supply and
            used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. For systems where ACPI standards are applicable, the Off
            Mode correlates to ACPI System Level S5 state.
 ---pagebreak--- 6.3.2013         EN                               Official Journal of the European Union                                               L 63/19
         M. Sleep Mode: A low power state that the computer is capable of entering automatically after a period of inactivity or
            by manual selection. A computer with sleep capability can quickly "awake" in response to network connections or
            user interface devices with a latency of ≤ 5 seconds from initiation of wake event to the system becoming fully usable,
            including rendering of display. For systems where ACPI standards are applicable, the Sleep mode most commonly
            correlates to ACPI System Level S3 (suspend to RAM) state.
         N. Idle State: The state in which the operating system and other software have completed loading, a user profile has been
            created, the machine is not asleep, and activity is limited to those basic applications that the system starts by default.
         O. Active State: The state in which the computer is carrying out useful work in response to a) prior or concurrent user
            input or b) prior or concurrent instruction over the network. This state includes active processing, seeking data from
            storage, memory, or cache, including idle state time while awaiting further user input and before entering low power
            modes.
         P. Typical Energy Consumption (TEC): A method of testing and comparing the energy performance of computers, which
            focuses on the typical electricity consumed by a product while in normal operation during a representative period of
            time. For Desktops and Notebooks, the key criterion of the TEC approach is a value for typical annual electricity use,
            measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh), using measurements of average operational mode power levels scaled by an
            assumed typical usage model (duty cycle). For Workstations, requirements are based on a TEC power value calculated
            from operational mode power levels, maximum power, and an assumed duty cycle.
            Networking and Power Management
         Q. Network Interface: The components (hardware and software) whose primary function is to make the computer
            capable of communicating over one or more network technologies. Examples of Network Interfaces are IEEE
            802.3 (Ethernet) and IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi).
         R. Wake Event: A user, scheduled, or external event or stimulus that causes the computer to transition from Sleep or Off
            to active mode of operation. Examples of wake events include, but are not limited to: movement of the mouse,
            keyboard activity, controller input, real-time clock event, or a button press on the chassis, and in the case of external
            events, stimulus conveyed via a remote control, network, modem, etc.
         S. Wake On LAN (WOL): Functionality which allows a computer to wake from Sleep or Off when directed by a network
            request via Ethernet.
         T. Full Network Connectivity: The ability of the computer to maintain network presence while in sleep mode and
            intelligently wake when further processing is required (including occasional processing required to maintain network
            presence). Maintaining network presence may include obtaining and/or defending an assigned interface or network
            address, responding to requests from other nodes on the network, or maintaining existing network connections, all
            while in the sleep state. In this fashion, presence of the computer, its network services and applications, is maintained
            even though the computer is in sleep mode. From the vantage point of the network, a sleeping computer with full
            network connectivity is functionally equivalent to an idle computer with respect to common applications and usage
            models. Full network connectivity in sleep is not limited to a specific set of protocols but can cover applications
            installed after initial installation.
            Marketing and Shipment Channels
         U. Enterprise Channels: Sales channels normally used by large and medium-sized business, government organisations,
            educational institutions, or other organisations purchasing computers used in managed client/server environments.
         V. Model Number: A unique marketing name that applies to a specific hardware/software configuration (i.e. operating
            system, types or processors, memory, GPU, etc.) that is either pre-defined, or a configuration selected by the customer.
         W. Model Name: A marketing name that includes reference to both the PC model family number, a short description of
            the product, or branding references.
         X. Product Family: A high-level description referring to a group of computers typically sharing one chassis/motherboard
            combination that often contains hundreds of possible hardware and software configurations.

            Note: Proxying refers to a computer that maintains Full Network Connectivity as defined in Section 1 of this specification. For a system to qualify
                   under the proxying weightings above, it must meet a non-proprietary   proxying standard that has been approved by the EPA and the
                   European Commission as meeting the goals of ENERGY STAR. Such         approval must be in place prior to submittal of product data for
                   qualification. See Section 3.C, "Qualifying Computers with Power      Management Capabilities", for further information and testing
                   requirements.
        (2) Workstation Levels
            PTEC (Workstation product category):
            The following tables indicate the required PTEC levels for the 5.0 Specification. Table 3 below lists PTEC requirements
            for Version 5.0, while Table 4 gives weightings for each operational mode. PTEC will be determined using the formula
            below:
                                                     PTEC = 0.35 · Poff + 0.10 · Psleep + 0.55 · Pidle
            where all Px are power values in watts.

            Note: Weightings are included in the PTEC formula, above.
            Multiple Graphics Devices (Workstations):
            Workstations that meet ENERGY STAR requirements with a single graphics device may also qualify for a
            configuration with more than one graphics device, provided the additional hardware configuration is identical with
            the exception of the additional graphics device(s). The use of multiple graphics includes, but is not limited to, driving
            multiple displays and ganging for high-performance, multi-GPU configurations (e.g. ATI Crossfire, NVIDIA SLI). In
            such cases, and until such time as SPECviewperf® supports multiple graphics threads, manufacturers may submit the
            test data for the workstation with the single graphics device for both configurations without retesting the system.
        (3) Small-Scale Server Levels:
            For the purposes of determining Idle state levels, Small-Scale Servers must qualify under Categories A or B, as defined
            below:
            (a) Category A: All Small-Scale Servers that do not meet the definition of Category B will be considered under
                 Category A for ENERGY STAR qualification.
            (b) Category B: To qualify under Category B Small-Scale Servers must have:
                 — processor(s) with greater than 1 physical core or greater than 1 discrete processor; and
                 — a minimum of 1 gigabyte of system memory

         For all computers with WOL enabled, any directed packet filters shall be enabled and set to an industry standard default
         configuration. Until one (or more) standards are agreed upon, partners are asked to provide their direct packet filter
         configurations to the EPA and the European Commission for publication on the website to stimulate discussion and
         development of standard configurations.
         Qualifying Computers with Power Management Capabilities:
         (a) Off: Computers shall be tested and reported as shipped for Off. Models that will be shipped with WOL enabled for
              Off shall be tested with WOL enabled. Likewise, products shipped with WOL disabled for Off shall be tested with
              WOL disabled.
         (b) Sleep: Computers shall be tested and reported as shipped for Sleep. Models sold through enterprise channels, as
              defined in Section 1, definition V, shall be tested, qualified, and shipped with WOL enabled/disabled based on the
              requirements in Table 8. Products going directly to consumers through normal retail channels only are not required
              to be shipped with WOL enabled from Sleep, and may be tested, qualified, and shipped with WOL either enabled or
              disabled.
         (c) Proxying: Desktop, Integrated Desktop, and Notebook Computers shall be tested and reported for Idle, Sleep, and Off
              with proxying features enabled or disabled as shipped. For a system to qualify using TEC weightings for proxying, it
              must meet a proxying standard that has been approved by the EPA and the European Commission as meeting the
              goals of ENERGY STAR. Such approval must be in place prior to submittal of product data for qualification.
         Customer software and management service pre-Provisioning:
         The Partner will remain responsible for testing products and qualifying them as they ship them. If the product meets and
         is qualified as ENERGY STAR at this point, it can be labelled as such.
         If the Partner is hired by a customer to load a custom image, the Partner must take the following steps:
         — The Partner must let the customer know that their product may not meet ENERGY STAR with the custom image
             loaded (a sample letter is available for use from the ENERGY STAR website that can be shared with customers).
         — The Partner must encourage their customer to test the product for ENERGY STAR compliance.
         User Information Requirement:
         In order to ensure that purchasers/users are properly informed on the benefits of power management, the manufacturer
         will include with each computer, one of the following:
         — Information on ENERGY STAR and the benefits of power management in either a hard copy or electronic copy of the
             user manual. This information should be near the front of the user guide; or
         — A package or box insert on ENERGY STAR and the benefits of power management.
         Either option must at least include the following information:
         — Notice that the computer as shipped has been enabled for power management and what the time settings are (either
             the default settings for the system or a note stating that the default settings for the computer comply with the
             ENERGY STAR requirements of less than 15 minutes of user inactivity for the display and less than 30 minutes of
             inactivity for the computer, recommended by the ENERGY STAR program for optimal energy savings); and
         — How to properly wake the computer from Sleep mode.
         D. Voluntary Requirements
         User Interface
         Although not mandatory, manufacturers are strongly recommended to design products in accordance with the Power
         Control User Interface Standard — IEEE 1621 (formally known as "Standard for User Interface Elements in Power Control
         of Electronic Devices Employed in Office/Consumer Environments"). Compliance with IEEE 1621 will make power
         controls more consistent and intuitive across all electronic devices. For more information on the standard see http://
         eetd.LBL.gov/Controls.
         4. Test procedures
         Manufacturers are required to perform tests and self-certify those models that meet the ENERGY STAR guidelines.
         — In performing these tests, the partner agrees to use the test procedures provided in Table 9, below.
 ---pagebreak--- L 63/26           EN                              Official Journal of the European Union                                                6.3.2013
        — The test results must be reported to the EPA or the European Commission, as appropriate.
        Additional testing and reporting requirements are provided below.
        1. Number of Units Required for TEC or Idle Testing:
        Manufacturers may initially test a single unit for qualification. If the initial unit tested is less than or equal to the
        applicable requirement for TEC or Idle but falls within 10 % of that level, one additional unit of the same model
        with an identical configuration must also be tested. Manufacturers shall report test values for both units. To qualify as
        ENERGY STAR, both units must meet the maximum TEC or Idle level for that product and that product category.
        Note: This additional testing is only required for TEC qualification (Desktops, Integrated Desktops, Notebooks, Work­
        stations) and Idle qualification (Small-Scale Servers, Thin Clients) – only one unit is required to be tested for Sleep and Off
        if such requirements apply. The following examples further illustrate this approach:
        Example 1 – Category A Desktop must meet a TEC level of 148.0 kWh or less, making 133.2 kWh the 10 % threshold
        for additional testing.
        — If the first unit is measured at 130 kWh, no more testing is needed and the model qualifies (130 kWh is 12 % more
            efficient than the specification and is therefore "outside" the 10 % threshold).
        — If the first unit is measured at 133.2 kWh, no more testing is needed and the model qualifies (133.2 kWh is exactly
            10 % more efficient than the specification).
        — If the first unit is measured at 135 kWh, then an additional unit must be tested to determine qualification (135 kWh
            is only 9 % more efficient than the specification and is "within" the 10 % threshold).
        — If the two units are then tested at 135 and 151 kWh, the model does not qualify as ENERGY STAR—even though the
            average is 143 kWh — because one of the values exceeds the ENERGY STAR specification.
        — If the two units are then tested at 135 and 147 kWh, the model does qualify as ENERGY STAR because both values
            meet the ENERGY STAR specification of 148.0 kWh.
        Example 2 – A Category A Small-Scale Server must meet an Idle level of 50 watts or less, making 45 Watts the 10 %
        threshold for additional testing. The following scenarios could then occur when testing a model for qualification:
        — If the first unit is measured at 44 watts, no more testing is needed and the model qualifies (44 watts is 12 % more
            efficient than the specification and is therefore "outside" the 10 % threshold).
        — If the first unit is measured at 45 watts, no more testing is needed and the model qualifies (45 watts is exactly 10 %
            more efficient than the specification).
        — If the first unit is measured at 47 watts, then an additional unit must be tested to determine qualification (47 Watts is
            only 6 % more efficient than the specification and is "within" the 10 % threshold).
        — If the two units are then tested at 47 and 51 watts, the model does not qualify as ENERGY STAR—even though the
            average is 49 watts— because one of the values (51) exceeds the ENERGY STAR specification.
        — If the two units are then tested at 47 and 49 watts, the model does qualify as ENERGY STAR because both values
            meet the ENERGY STAR specification of 50 watts.
        2. Models Capable of Operating at Multiple Voltage/Frequency Combinations:
        Manufacturers shall test their products based on the market(s) in which the models will be sold and promoted as ENERGY
        STAR qualified.
        For products that are sold as ENERGY STAR in multiple international markets and, therefore, rated at multiple input
        voltages, the manufacturer must test at and report the required measured power consumption and efficiency values at all
        relevant voltage/frequency combinations. For example, a manufacturer that ships the same model to the United States and
        Europe must measure, meet the specification, and report test values at both 115 Volts/60 Hz and 230 Volts/50 Hz
 ---pagebreak--- 6.3.2013          EN                                Official Journal of the European Union                                              L 63/27
         in order to qualify the model as ENERGY STAR in both markets. If a model qualifies as ENERGY STAR at only one
         voltage/frequency combination (e.g., 115 Volts/60 Hz), then it may only be qualified and promoted as ENERGY STAR in
         those regions that support the tested voltage/frequency combination (e.g. North America and Taiwan).

         3. Qualifying families of Products
         Models that are unchanged or that differ only in finish from those sold in a previous year may remain qualified without
         the submission of new test data assuming the specification remains unchanged. If a product model is placed on the
         market in multiple configurations or styles, as a product "family" or series, the partner may report and qualify the product
         under a single model number, as long as all of the models within that family or series meet either of the following
         requirements:
         — Computers that are built on the same platform and are identical in every respect except for housing and colour may
             be qualified through submission of test data for a single, representative model.
         — If a product model is placed on the market in multiple configurations, the partner may report and qualify the product
             under a single unique model identifier number that represents the highest power configuration available in the family,
             rather than reporting each and every individual model in the family; there must not be higher consuming configur­
             ations of the same product model than the representative configuration. In this case, the highest configuration would
             consist of: the highest power processor, the maximum memory configuration, the highest power GPU, etc. For
             systems which meet the definition for multiple categories (as defined in Section 3.B) depending on the specific
             configuration, manufacturers will have to submit the highest power configuration for each category under which
             they would like the system to qualify. For example, a system that could be configured either as a Category A or
 ---pagebreak--- L 63/28          EN                               Official Journal of the European Union                                               6.3.2013
            a Category B desktop would require a submission of the highest power configuration for both categories in order to
            qualify as ENERGY STAR. If a product could be configured to meet all three categories, it would then have to submit
            data for the highest power configuration in all categories. Manufacturers will be held accountable for any efficiency
            claims made about all other models in the family, including those not tested or for which data was not reported.
        All units/configurations associated with a product model designation, for which a Partner is seeking ENERGY STAR
        qualification, must meet the ENERGY STAR requirements. If a Partner wishes to qualify configurations of a model for
        which non-qualifying alternative configurations exist, the Partner must assign the qualifying configurations an identifier
        using the model name/number that is unique to ENERGY STAR Qualified configurations. This identifier must be used
        consistently in association with the qualifying configurations in marketing/sales materials and on the ENERGY STAR list
        of qualified products (e.g. model A1234 for baseline configurations and A1234-ES for ENERGY STAR qualifying
        configurations).
        5. Effective date
        The date that manufacturers may begin to qualify products as ENERGY STAR will be defined as the effective date of the
        agreement.
        Desktop, Integrated Desktop, Notebook, Workstation, Small-Scale Server:
        The ENERGY STAR Version 5.0 effective date for Desktop, Integrated Desktop, Notebook, Workstation, Small-Scale Server and
        Thin Client is July 1, 2009. All products, including models originally qualified under Version 4.0, with a date of manu­
        facture on or after July 1, 2009 must meet this Version 5.0 requirements in order to qualify for ENERGY STAR. Game
        Consoles with a date of manufacture on or after July 1, 2010 must meet this Version 5.0 requirements in order to qualify
        for ENERGY STAR. Any previously executed agreement on the subject of ENERGY STAR qualified computers shall be
        terminated with effect from June 30, 2009.
        6. Future Specification Revisions
        The EPA and the European Commission reserve the right to revise the specification should technological and/or market
        changes affect its usefulness to consumers or industry or its impact on the environment. In keeping with current policy,
        revisions to the specification will be discussed with stakeholders. In the event of a specification revision, please note that
        ENERGY STAR qualification is not automatically granted for the life of a product model. To qualify as ENERGY STAR, a
        product model must meet the ENERGY STAR specification in effect on the model's date of manufacture.

                                                                    Appendix A
               ENERGY STAR Test Procedure for Determining the Power Use of Computers in Off, Sleep, and Idle
         The following protocol should be followed when measuring power consumption levels of computers for compliance with
         the Off, Sleep, and Idle levels provided in this ENERGY STAR Version 5.0 Computer Specification. Partners must measure
         a representative sample of the configuration as shipped to the customer. However, the Partner does not need to consider
         power consumption changes that may result from component additions, BIOS and/or software settings made by the
         computer user after the product is sold. This procedure is intended to be followed in order and the mode being tested is labelled
         where appropriate.
         Computers must be tested with configuration and settings as shipped, unless otherwise specified in the test procedure in
         this Appendix A. Steps requiring alternative setup are marked with an asterisk (‘*’).
         I. Definitions
         Unless otherwise specified, all terms used in this document are consistent with the definitions contained in the Version
         5.0 ENERGY STAR Eligibility Criteria for Computers.
         1.   UUT: UUT is an acronym for ‘unit under test,’ which in this case refers to the computer being tested.
         2.   UPS: UPS is an acronym for ‘Uninterruptible Power Supply,’ which refers to a combination of converters, switches
              and energy storage means, for example batteries, constituting a power supply for maintaining continuity of load
              power in case of input power failure.
         II. Testing Requirements
         1.   Approved Meter:
              Approved meters will include the following attributes (1):
              — Power resolution of 1 mW or better;
              — An available current crest factor of 3 or more at its rated range value; and
              — Lower bound on the current range of 10 mA or less.
              The following attributes in addition to those above are suggested:
              — Frequency response of at least 3 kHz; and
              — Calibration with a standard that is traceable to the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
              It is also desirable for measurement instruments to be able to average power accurately over any user selected time
              interval (this is usually done with an internal math's calculation dividing accumulated energy by time within the
              meter, which is the most accurate approach). As an alternative, the measurement instrument would have to be
              capable of integrating energy over any user selected time interval with an energy resolution of less than or equal to
              0.1 mWh and integrating time displayed with a resolution of 1 second or less.
         2.   Accuracy
              Measurements of power of 0.5 W or greater shall be made with an uncertainty of less than or equal to 2 % at the
              95 % confidence level. Measurements of power of less than 0.5 W shall be made with an uncertainty of less than or
              equal to 0.01 W at the 95 % confidence level. The power measurement instrument shall have a resolution of:
         (1) Characteristics of approved meters taken from IEC 62301 Ed 1.0: Measurement of Standby Power
 ---pagebreak--- L 63/30           EN                               Official Journal of the European Union                                           6.3.2013
             — 0.01 W or better for power measurements of 10 W or less;
             — 0.1 W or better for power measurements of greater than 10 W up to 100 W; and
             — 1 W or better for power measurements of greater than 100 W.
             All power figures should be in watts and rounded to the second decimal place. For loads greater than or equal to
             10 W, three significant figures shall be reported.
        3.   Test Conditions
             Supply Voltage:                 North America/Taiwan:                      115 (± 1 %) Volts AC, 60 Hz (± 1 %)

                                                                                        Note: For products rated for > 1.5 kW
                                                                                        maximum power, the voltage range is ± 4 %

             (Reference IEC 62301: Household Electrical Appliances – Measurement of Standby Power, Sections 4.2, 4.3, 4.4)
        4.   Test Configuration
             Power consumption of a computer shall be measured and tested from an AC source to the UUT.
             If the UUT supports Ethernet, it must be connected to an Ethernet network switch capable of the UUT's highest and
             lowest network speeds. The network connection must be live during all tests.
        III. Test Procedure for Off, Sleep and Idle for All Computer Products
        The AC power consumption of a computer should be measured as follows:
        UUT Preparation
          1. Record the manufacturer and model name of the UUT.
          2. Ensure that the UUT is connected to network resources as detailed below, and that the UUT maintains this live
             connection for the duration of testing, disregarding brief lapses when transitioning between link speeds.
             (a) Desktops, Integrated Desktops, and Notebooks shall be connected to a live Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) network switch
                  as specified in Section II., ‘Test Configuration,’ above. The computer must maintain this live connection to the
                  switch for the duration of testing, disregarding brief lapses when transitioning between link speeds. Computers
                  without Ethernet capability must maintain a live wireless connection to a wireless router or network access point
                  for the duration of testing.
             (b) Small-Scale Servers shall be connected to a live Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) network switch as specified in Section II.,
                  ‘Test Configuration,’ above, and that the connection is live.
             (c) Thin Clients shall be connected to a live server via a live Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) network switch and shall run
                  intended terminal/remote connection software.
 ---pagebreak--- 6.3.2013         EN                               Official Journal of the European Union                                                L 63/31
          3. Connect an approved meter capable of measuring true power to an AC line voltage source set to the appropriate
             voltage/frequency combination for the test.
          4. Plug the UUT into the measurement power outlet on the meter. No power strips or UPS units should be connected
             between the meter and the UUT. For the test to be valid the meter should remain in place until all Off, Sleep, and
             Idle power data is recorded.
          5. Record the ac voltage and frequency.
          6. Boot the computer and wait until the operating system has fully loaded. If necessary, run the initial operating system
             setup and allow all preliminary file indexing and other one-time/periodic processes to complete.
          7. Record basic information about the computer's configuration – computer type, operating system name and version,
             processor type and speed, and total and available physical memory, etc.
          8. Record basic information about the video card or graphics chipset (if applicable) - video card/chipset name, frame
             buffer width, resolution, amount of onboard memory, and bits per pixel.
          9. * Ensure that the UUT is configured as shipped including all accessories, WOL enabling, and software shipped by
             default. UUT should also be configured using the following requirements for all tests:
             (a) Desktop systems shipped without accessories should be configured with a standard mouse, keyboard and external
                 computer display.
             (b) Notebooks should include all accessories shipped with the system, and need not include a separate keyboard or
                 mouse when equipped with an integrated pointing device or digitizer.
             (c) Notebooks should have the battery pack(s) removed for all tests. For systems where operation without a battery
                 pack is not a supported configuration, the test may be performed with fully charged battery pack(s) installed,
                 making sure this configuration is reported in the test results.
             (d) Small-Scale Servers and Thin Clients shipped without accessories should be configured with a standard mouse,
                 keyboard and external computer display (if server has display output functionality).
             (e) For Computers with Ethernet capability, power to wireless radios should be turned off for all tests. This applies to
                 wireless network adapters (e.g. 802.11) or device-to-device wireless protocols. For Computers without Ethernet
                 capability, power to a wireless LAN radio (e.g. IEEE 802.11) should remain on during testing and must maintain
                 a live wireless connection to a wireless router or network access point, which supports the highest and lowest
                 data speeds of the client radio, for the duration of testing.
             (f) Primary hard drives may not be power managed (‘spun-down’) during Idle testing unless they contain non-volatile
                 cache integral to the drive (e.g. ‘hybrid’ hard drives). If more than one internal hard drive is installed as shipped,
                 the non-primary, internal hard drive(s) may be tested with hard drive power management enabled as shipped. If
                 these additional drives are not power managed when shipped to customers, they must be tested without such
                 features implemented.
         10. The following guidelines should be followed to configure power settings for computer displays (adjusting no other
             power management settings):
             (a) For computers with external computer displays (most desktops): use the computer display power management
                 settings to prevent the display from powering down to ensure it stays on for the full length of the Idle test as
                 described below.
 ---pagebreak--- L 63/32            EN                                Official Journal of the European Union                                                      6.3.2013
              (b) For computers with integrated computer displays (notebooks and integrated systems): use the power management
                   settings to set the display to power down after one minute.
        11. Shut down the UUT
        Off Mode Testing
        12. With the UUT shut down and in Off, set the meter to begin accumulating true power values at an interval of less
              than or equal to one reading per second. Accumulate power values for five additional minutes and record the average
              (arithmetic mean) value observed during that five minute period. (2)
        Idle Mode Testing
        13. Switch on the computer and begin recording elapsed time, starting either when the computer is initially switched on,
              or immediately after completing any log in activity necessary to fully boot the system. Once logged in with the
              operating system fully loaded and ready, close any open windows so that the standard operational desktop screen or
              equivalent ready screen is displayed. Between five and 15 minutes after the initial boot or log in, set the meter to
              begin accumulating true power values at an interval of at least one reading per second. Accumulate power values for
              five additional minutes and record the average (arithmetic mean) value observed during that five minute period.
        Sleep Mode Testing
        14. After completing the Idle measurements, place the computer in Sleep mode. Reset the meter (if necessary) and begin
              accumulating true power values at an interval of at least one reading per second. Accumulate power values for five
              additional minutes and record the average (arithmetic mean) value observed during that five minute period.
        15. If testing both WOL enabled and WOL disabled for Sleep, wake the computer and change the WOL from Sleep
              setting through the operating system settings or by other means. Place the computer back in Sleep mode and repeat
              step 14, recording Sleep power necessary for this alternate configuration.
        Reporting Test Results
        16. The test results must be reported to the EPA or the European Commission, as appropriate, taking care to ensure that
              all required information has been included, including modal power values and eligible capability adjustments for
              Desktops, Integrated Desktops, and Notebooks.
        IV. Maximum Power Test for Workstations
        The maximum power for workstations is found by the simultaneous operation of two industry standard benchmarks:
        Linpack to stress the core system (e.g., processor, memory, etc.) and SPECviewperf® (latest available version for the UUT)
        to stress the system's GPU. Additional information on these benchmarks, including free downloads, can be found at the
        URLs found below:
        Linpack                        http://www.netlib.org/linpack/
        SPECviewperf®                  http://www.spec.org/benchmarks.html#gpc
        This test must be repeated three times on the same UUT, and all three measurements must fall within a ± 2 % tolerance
        relative to the average of the three measured maximum power values.
        Measurement of the maximum AC power consumption of a workstation should be conducted as follows:
        (2) Laboratory-grade, full-function meters can integrate values over time and report the average value automatically. Other meters would
            require the user to capture a series of changing values every 5 seconds for a five minute period and then compute the average
            manually.
 ---pagebreak--- 6.3.2013          EN                            Official Journal of the European Union                                           L 63/33
         UUT Preparation
          1. Connect an approved meter capable of measuring true power to an AC line voltage source set to the appropriate
             voltage/frequency combination for the test. The meter should be able to store and output the maximum power
             measurement reached during the test or be capable of another method of determining maximum power.
          2. Plug the UUT into the measurement power outlet on the meter. No power strips or UPS units should be connected
             between the meter and the UUT.
          3. Record the AC voltage.
          4. * Boot the computer and, if not already installed, install Linpack and SPECviewperf as indicated on the above
             Websites.
          5. Set Linpack with all the defaults for the given architecture of the UUT and set the appropriate array size ‘n’ for
             maximising power draw during the test.
          6. Ensure all guidelines set by the SPEC organisation for running SPECviewperf are being met.
         Maximum Power Testing
          7. Set the meter to begin accumulating true power values at an interval no more than one reading per second, and
             begin taking measurements. Run SPECviewperf and as many simultaneous instances of Linpack as needed to fully
             stress the system.
          8. Accumulate power values until SPECviewperf and all instances have completed running. Record the maximum power
             value attained during the test.
         Reporting Test Results
          9. The test results must be reported to the EPA or the European Commission, as appropriate, taking care to include all
             required information.
         10. Upon submittal of data, manufacturers must also include the following data:
             a. Value of the n (the array size) used for Linpack,
             b. Number of simultaneous copies of Linpack run during the test,
             c. Version of SPECviewperf run for test,
             d. All compiler optimisations used in compiling Linpack and SPECviewperf, and
             e. A precompiled binary for end users to download and run both SPECviewperf and Linpack. These can be
                 distributed either through a centralised standards body such as SPEC, by the OEM or by a related third party.
         V. Continuing Verification
         This testing procedure describes the method by which a single unit may be tested for compliance. An ongoing testing
         process is highly recommended to ensure that products from different production runs comply with ENERGY STAR.

                                                                  Appendix B
                                                        SAMPLE CALCULATIONS
         I. Desktop, Integrated Desktop, Notebook Computers: Below is a sample TEC calculation intended to show how
            compliance levels are determined based on functional adders and operational mode measurements, for an example
            ETEC evaluation for a Category A Notebook Computer (integrated GPU, 8 GB Memory Installed, 1 HDD)
            1. Measure values using the Appendix A test procedure:
               — Off = 1 W
               — Sleep = 1.7 W
               — Idle = 10 W
            2. Determine which Capability Adjustments apply:
               — Integrated Graphics? Does not apply for Premium Graphics.
               — 8GB Memory installed. Does meet memory adjustment level: 8 yields a 1.6 kWh adjustment (4 · 0.4 kWh).
            3. Apply Weightings based on Table 2 to calculate TEC:
               — Table 2 (for conventional notebook):
                   Toff                                                                        60 %
                   Tsleep                                                                      10 %
                   Tidle                                                                       30 %
               — ETEC = (8 760/1 000) · (Poff · Toff + Psleep · Tsleep + Pidle · Tidle)
               — = (8 760/1 000) · (Poff · 0.60 + Psleep · 0.10 + Pidle · 0.30)
               — = (8 760/1 000) · (1 · 0.60 + 1.7 · 0.10 + 10 · 0.30)
               — = 33.03 kWh
            4. Determine TEC Requirement for the computer by adding any capability adjustments (step 2) to the Base TEC
               requirement (Table1).
               — Table 1 (for notebooks):
                                                                Notebook Computers (kWh)
                   Category A                                                                   40
                   Category B                                                                   53
                   Category C                                                                  88.5
               — ENERGY STAR TEC Requirement = 40 kWh + 1.6 kWh = 41.6 kWh
            5. Compare ETEC to the ENERGY STAR TEC Requirement (step 4) to ascertain whether the model qualifies.
               — Category A TEC requirement: 41.6 kWh
               — ETEC: 33.03 kWh

         1. Definitions
         A. Electronic Display (also referred to as ‘Display’): A commercially-available product with a display screen and associated
            electronics, often encased in a single housing, that as its primary function displays visual information from (i) a
            computer, workstation or server via one or more inputs, such as VGA, DVI, HDMI, or IEEE 1394, or (ii) a USB flash
            drive, a memory card, or wireless Internet connection. Common display technologies include liquid crystal display
            (LCD), light emitting diode (LED), cathode-ray tube (CRT), and plasma display panel (PDP).
         B. External Power Supply: A component contained in a separate physical enclosure external to the display casing and
            designed to convert line voltage AC input from the mains to lower DC voltage(s) for the purpose of powering the
            display. An external power supply (EPS) must connect to the display via a removable or hard-wired male/female
            electrical connection, cable, cord or other wiring.
         C. On Mode: The operational mode of a display that is (i) connected to a power source, (ii) has all mechanical (hard)
            power switches turned on, and (iii) is performing its primary function of producing an image.
         D. Sleep Mode: The operational mode of a display that is (i) connected to a power source, (ii) has all mechanical (hard)
            power switches turned on, and (iii) has been placed into a low-power mode by receiving a signal from a connected
            device (e.g. computer, game console, or set-top box) or by cause of an internal function such as a sleep timer or
            occupancy sensor. Sleep Mode is considered a ‘soft’ low-power condition, in that the display can be brought out of
            Sleep Mode by receiving a signal from a connected device or by cause of an internal function.
         E. Off Mode: The operational mode of a display that is (i) connected to a power source, (ii) engaged by a power switch,
            and (iii) not providing any function. The user must actuate a mechanical switch to bring the device out of Off Mode.
            If there is more than one such switch, the tester shall use the most readily available switch.
 ---pagebreak--- L 63/36         EN                                Official Journal of the European Union                                            6.3.2013
        F. Luminance: The photometric measure of the luminous intensity per unit area of light travelling in a given direction. It
           describes the amount of light that passes through or is emitted from a particular area, and falls within a given solid
           angle. The standard unit for luminance is candela per square meter (cd/m2).
        G. Automatic Brightness Control: For displays, automatic brightness controls is the self-acting mechanism which controls
           brightness of the display as a function of ambient light.
        2. Qualifying products:
           To qualify for ENERGY STAR, the display must satisfy the following criteria:
           A. Maximum viewable diagonal screen size: The display must have a viewable diagonal screen size of less than or
               equal to (≤) 60 inches.
           B. Power Source: The display must be powered by a separate AC wall outlet, a battery unit that is sold with an AC
               adapter, or a data or network connection.
           C. Television Tuners: If the display has an integrated television tuner, it may qualify for ENERGY STAR under this
               specification as long as it is primarily marketed and sold to consumers as a display or as a dual-function display
               and television. Any display with a television tuner that is marketed and sold exclusively as a television is not
               eligible to qualify under this specification. Under Tier 2 of this specification, only those displays without tuners
               may qualify; displays with tuners may qualify under Tier 2 of the Version 3.0 ENERGY STAR TV specification.
           D. Automatic Brightness Control (ABC): To qualify for ENERGY STAR using the Automatic Brightness Control On
               Mode power equation, the display must ship with ABC enabled by default.
           E. External Power Supply: If the display is shipped with an EPS, the EPS must be ENERGY STAR qualified or meet the
               no-load and active mode efficiency levels provided in the ENERGY STAR Program Requirements for Single Voltage
               AC-AC and AC-DC External Power Supplies. The ENERGY STAR specification and qualified product list can be
               found at www.energystar.gov/powersupplies.
           F. Power Management Requirements: The display must have at least one mechanism enabled by default that allows
               the display to automatically enter Sleep or Off Mode. For instance, data or network connections must support
               powering down the display according to standard mechanisms, such as Display Power Management Signalling.
               Displays generating their own content must have a sensor or timer enabled by default to automatically engage
               Sleep or Off Mode.
        3. Energy-efficiency criteria
        A. On Mode Requirements
        1. Tier 1
           To qualify as ENERGY STAR, the display must not exceed the maximum On Mode power consumption (PO or PO1)
           as calculated from the equations below. The maximum On Mode power consumption is expressed in watts and
           rounded to the nearest tenth of a watt.

                           Screen Resolution ≤ 1.1 MP
                        Diagonal Screen Size < 30 inches                               PO = 9*(MP) + 0.05*(A) + 3
                           Screen Resolution > 1.1 MP
                      Diagonal Screen Size 30 - 60 inches                                    PO = 0.27*(A) + 8

         2. Tier 2
              To qualify as ENERGY STAR, the display must not exceed the following maximum On Mode consumption equations:
             TBD.
         3. Displays with Automatic Brightness Control (ABC)
              For Displays shipped with ABC features enabled by default an alternate calculation is used to calculate maximum On
             Mode power consumption
                                                             PO1 = (0.8 * Ph) + (0.2 * Pl)
              where PO1 is the average On Mode power consumption in watts, rounded to the nearest tenth of a watt, Ph is the On
             Mode power consumption in high ambient lighting conditions, and Pl is the On Mode power consumption in low
             ambient lighting conditions. The formula assumes the display will be in low ambient lighting conditions 20 % of the
             time.
         B. Sleep and Off Mode Requirements:
         1. Tiers 1 and 2
              To qualify as ENERGY STAR, the display must not exceed the maximum power consumption levels for Sleep and Off
             Modes provided in Table 3, below. Displays capable of multiple Sleep Modes (i.e., Sleep and Deep Sleep) must meet
             Sleep Mode requirements in all sleep modes.
              EXAMPLE: A display test result of 3 watts in Sleep and 2 watts in Deep Sleep would not qualify because power consumption in
             one of the Sleep Modes exceeded the 2 watt Tier 1 limit.

                                           Mode                                               Tier 1                           Tier 2
             Maximum Sleep Mode Power Consumption (W)                                          ≤2                                ≤1
             Maximum Off Mode Power Consumption (W)                                            ≤1                                ≤1
         (3) For displays between 30 and 60 inches, resolution must be reported when submitting a product for qualification; however, resolution is
             not considered when calculating the On Mode power consumption of these displays.

        4. Test requirements
           How to Use this Section
           EPA and the European Commission utilise, where possible, widely-accepted industry practices for measuring product
           performance and power consumption under typical operating conditions. The test methods in this specification are
           based on standards from the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) Display Metrology Committee and the
           International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). In cases where the VESA and IEC standards were insufficient for the
           needs of the ENERGY STAR program, additional testing and measurement methods were developed in cooperation
           with industry stakeholders.
           To ensure a consistent means for measuring the power consumption of electronics products such that the test results
           may be reproduced, and that outside factors do not adversely affect the test results, the following protocol must be
           followed. It has four main components:
           — Test Conditions and Instrumentation
           — Setup
           — Test Method
           — Documentation
           Note: Test Method is located in Appendices 1 and 2. Appendix 1 describes the test procedure for displays with a viewable
           diagonal screen size measuring less than (<) 30 inches. Appendix 2 describes the test procedure for displays with a viewable
           diagonal screen size measuring from 30 to 60 inches, inclusive.
           Partners may elect to use an in-house or independent laboratory to provide the test results.
           Facility Quality Control
           Partners are required to perform tests and certify those product models that meet the ENERGY STAR guidelines. In
           order to conduct testing in support of qualification for ENERGY STAR, the product must be tested in a facility that
           has quality control procedures for monitoring the validity of tests and calibrations. ENERGY STAR recommends
           conducting these tests in a facility that follows the general requirements for the competence of testing and calibration
           laboratories as described in the International Standard ISO/IEC 17025.
           Test Conditions and Instrumentation
           A. Power Measurement Protocols
               The average true power consumption of the display shall be measured during On Mode, Sleep Mode, and Off
               Mode. When performing measurements to self-certify a product model, the Unit Under Test (UUT) must initially
               be in the same condition (e.g., configuration and settings) as when shipped to the customer, unless adjustments
               need to be made pursuant to the instructions below.
               1. Power measurements shall be taken from a point between the outlet or power source and the UUT.
               2. If a product's electrical power comes from Mains, USB, IEEE 1394, Power-over-Ethernet, telephone system, or
                   any other means or combinations of means, the net AC electrical power consumed by the product (taking into
                   account AC-to-DC conversion losses) must be used for qualification.
               3. Products powered by a standard low voltage DC supply (e.g., USB, USB PlusPower, IEEE 1394, and Power Over
                   Ethernet) shall utilize a suitable AC-powered source of the DC power. This AC-powered source's energy
                   consumption shall be measured and recorded as the UUT's power consumption.
               4. For a display powered by USB, a powered hub serving only the display being tested shall be used. For a display
                   powered by Power Over Ethernet or USB PlusPower, it is acceptable to measure the power distribution device
                   with and without the display connected, and record the difference between the two readings as the display's
                   power consumption. The tester should confirm that this reasonably reflects the unit's DC consumption plus
                   some allowance for power supply and distribution inefficiency.

                  5. Any product capable of being powered from both AC and standard low-voltage DC sources shall be tested
                      while operating on AC power.

                 (Reference IEC 62301 Ed 1.0: Household Electrical Appliances – Measurement of Standby Power, Sections 4.2, 4.3)
              C. Approved Meter
                  Approved meters will include the following attributes. (4)
                  — An available current crest factor of 3 or more at its rated range value; and
                  — Lower bound on the current range of 10mA or less.
                  The power measurement instrument shall have a resolution of:
                  — 0.01 W or better for power measurements of 10 W or less;
                  — 0.1 W or better for power measurements of greater than 10 W up to 100 W; and
                  — 1 W or better for power measurements of greater than 100 W.
                  The following attributes in addition to those above are suggested:
                  — Frequency response of at least 3 kHz; and
                  — Calibration with a standard that is traceable to the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
                  It is also desirable for instruments to be able to measure average power over any user-selected time interval (the
                  most accurate devices perform an internal calculation to divide accumulated energy by elapsed time). As an
                  alternative, the measurement instrument would have to be capable of integrating energy over any user-selected
                  time interval with an energy resolution of less than or equal to 0.1 mWh and integrating time displayed with a
                  resolution of 1 second or less.
              D. Accuracy
                  Measurements of power of 0.5 W or greater shall be made with an uncertainty of less than or equal to 2 % at the
                  95 % confidence level. Measurements of power of less than 0.5 W shall be made with an uncertainty of less than
                  or equal to 0.01 W at the 95 % confidence level. (5)
                  All measurements should be recorded in watts and rounded to the nearest tenth of a watt.
              E. Dark Room Conditions
                  All luminance testing shall be performed in dark room conditions. The display screen illuminance measurement (E)
                  in Off Mode must be less than or equal to 1.0 lux. Measurements should be taken perpendicular to the centre of
                  the display screen using a Light Measuring Device (LMD) with the display in Off Mode (Reference VESA FPDM
                  Standard 2.0, Section 301-2F).

        F. Light Measurement Protocols
           When light measurements, such as illuminance and luminance, need to be made, an LMD shall be used with the
           display located in dark room conditions. The LMD shall be used to take measurements at the centre of and
           perpendicular to the display screen (Reference VESA FPDM Standard 2.0, Appendix A115). The screen surface area
           to be measured shall cover at least 500 pixels, unless this exceeds the equivalent of a rectangular area with sides of
           length equal to 10 % of the visible screen height and width (in which case this latter limit applies). However, in no
           case may the illuminated area be smaller than the area the LMD is measuring (Reference VESA FPDM Standard 2.0,
           Section 301-2H).
        Setup
        A. Peripherals
           No external devices shall be connected to Universal Serial Bus (USB) hubs or ports. Any built-in speakers, TV
           tuners, etc. may be placed in their minimum power configuration, as adjustable by the user, to minimize power
           consumption not associated with the display itself.
        B. Modifications
           Device modifications such as circuit removal, or other actions not available to a typical user, are not permitted.
        C. Analogue vs. Digital Interface
           Partners are required to test their displays using the analogue interface, except in those cases where one is not
           provided (i.e., digital interface displays, which for the purposes of this test method are defined as having only a
           digital interface). For digital interface displays, please see Footnote 1 in Appendix 1 for voltage information, and
           follow the test method in Appendix 1 and/or 2, depending on the viewable diagonal screen size of the UUT, using
           a digital signal generator.
        D. Models Capable of Operating at Multiple Voltage/Frequency Combinations
           Partners shall test, qualify, and document conditions applicable to each market in which their products shall be
           sold as ENERGY STAR qualified.
           EXAMPLE: For a product to earn the ENERGY STAR label in both the United States and Europe, it must qualify at both
           115V/60Hz and 230V/50Hz. If the product qualifies as ENERGY STAR at only one voltage/frequency combination (e.g.,
           115 Volts/60 Hz), then it may only be qualified and promoted as ENERGY STAR in those regions that support the tested
           voltage/frequency combination (e.g., North America and Taiwan).
        E. External Power Supply
           For displays shipped with an external power supply, the supplied EPS must be used for all testing. An alternate
           power supply may not be substituted.
        F. Colour Controls
           All colour controls (hue, saturation, gamma, etc.) shall be set to factory default settings.
        G. Resolution and Refresh Rate
           Resolution and refresh rate vary by technology, as follows:
            (1) For LCDs and other fixed pixel technologies, pixel format shall be set to the native level. LCD refresh rate shall
                be set to 60 Hz, unless a different refresh rate is specifically recommended by the Partner, in which case that
                rate shall be used.
            (2) CRT pixel format shall be set at the preferred pixel format with the highest resolution that is intended to be
                driven at a 75 Hz refresh rate. A VESA Discrete Monitor Timing (DMT) or newer industry standard pixel
                format timing must be used for the test. The CRT display must be capable of meeting all its Partner-stated
                quality specifications in the tested format.
        H. Warm-up
            UUT must be warmed up for a minimum of 20 minutes before any test measurements are taken (Reference VESA
            FPDM Standard 2.0, Section 301-2D or 305-3 for warm-up test).
 ---pagebreak--- 6.3.2013      EN                              Official Journal of the European Union                                              L 63/41
         I.  Stability
             All power consumption measurements shall be recorded after instrument readings are stable to within 1 % over a
             three-minute period (Reference IEC 4.3.1).
         Test Method
         In performing these tests, the partner agrees to use the applicable test procedures provided in Appendices 1 and/or 2,
         depending on the viewable diagonal screen size of the UUT, as follows:
         For displays with a viewable diagonal screen size measuring less than (<) 30 inches, use Appendix 1.
         For displays with a viewable diagonal screen size measuring from 30 to 60 inches, use Appendix 2.
         Documentation
         A. Submittal of Qualified Product Data to EPA or the European Commission, as applicable
             Partners are required to self-certify those product models that meet the ENERGY STAR guidelines and report
             information to EPA through the Online Product Submittal tool, or to the European Commission, as applicable.
             ENERGY STAR qualifying product data, including information about new models, must be provided on an annual
             basis, or more frequently if desired by the Partner.
         B. Qualifying Family of Products
             Families of display models that are built on the same chassis and are identical in every respect but housing and
             color may be qualified through submission of test data for a single, representative model. Likewise, models that are
             unchanged or that differ only in finish from those sold in a previous year may remain qualified without the
             submission of new test data.
         C. Number of Units Required for Testing
             Borrowing from European Norm 50301 (Reference BSI 03-2001, BS EN 50301:2001, Methods of Measurement
             for the Power Consumption of Audio, Video, and Related Equipment, Annex A), EPA and the European
             Commission have established a test procedure where the number of units required for test depends on the test
             results for the first unit:
             (1) If the steady-state power consumption of the UUT is greater than 85 % of the ENERGY STAR qualification
                 limit in any of the three operating modes, two additional units of the same model shall be tested.
             (2) The power consumption data for each of the three test units shall be reported to EPA via the Online Product
                 Submittal tool, or to the European Commission, as applicable, along with the average On, Sleep, and Off
                 Mode power consumption data from the three tests.
             (3) Testing of additional units is not required if the steady-state power consumption of the first test unit is less
                 than or equal to 85 % of the ENERGY STAR qualification limit in all of the three operating modes.
             (4) None of the test values for any of the units tested may exceed the ENERGY STAR specification for the model
                 to be ENERGY STAR qualified.
             (5) The following example further illustrates this approach:
                 EXAMPLE: FOR SIMPLICITY, ASSUME THE SPECIFICATION IS 100 watts or less and only applies to one
                 operational mode. 85 watts would represent the 15 % threshold…
                 — If the first unit is measured at 80 watts, no more testing is needed and the model qualifies (80 watts is not
                      greater than 85 % of the ENERGY STAR qualification limit).
                 — If the first unit is measured at 85 watts, no more testing is needed and the model qualifies (85 watts is
                      exactly 85 % of the ENERGY STAR qualification limit).
 ---pagebreak--- L 63/42         EN                                Official Journal of the European Union                                           6.3.2013
                    — If the first unit is measured at 85.1 watts, then two more units shall be tested to determine qualification
                        (85.1 watts is greater than 85 % of the ENERGY STAR qualification limit).
                    — If three units are tested at 90, 98, and 105 watts, the model does not qualify as ENERGY STAR—even
                        though the average is 98 watts— because one of the values (105) exceeds the ENERGY STAR specification.
        5. User interface
           Partners are strongly recommended to design products in accordance with the user interface standard IEEE P1621:
           Standard for User Interface Elements in Power Control of Electronic Devices Employed in Office/Consumer Environ­
           ments. The Power Management Controls project developed this standard to make power controls more consistent and
           intuitive across all electronic devices. For details, see http://eetd.LBL.gov/Controls.
        6. Effective date
           The date that Partners may begin to qualify products as ENERGY STAR, under the Version 5.0 specification, will be
           defined as the effective date of the agreement. Any previously executed agreement on the subject of ENERGY STAR
           qualified displays shall be terminated effective October 29, 2009 for displays with a viewable diagonal screen size
           under 30 inches, or on January 29, 2010 for displays with a viewable diagonal screen size from 30 to 60 inches,
           inclusive.
           A. Qualifying Products Under Tier 1 of the Version 5.0 Specification
               The date upon which Tier 1 of the Version 5.0 specification shall go into effect is contingent upon the size of the
               display, and is outlined in the table below. All products, including models originally qualified under Version 4.1,
               with a date of manufacture on or after that date must meet the new Version 5.0 requirements in order to qualify
               for ENERGY STAR (including additional shipments of models originally qualified under Version 4.1). The date of
               manufacture is specific to each unit and is the date (e.g., month and year) of which a unit is considered to be
               completely assembled.
                                      Display Category                                         Tier 1 Effective Date
               Diagonal Screen Size < 30 inches                                                 October 30, 2009
               Diagonal Screen Size 30 - 60 inches                                              January 30, 2010
           B. Qualifying Products Under Tier 2 of the Version 5.0 Specification
               The second phase of this specification, Tier 2, shall take effect on October 30, 2011, and apply to products with a
               date of manufacture on or after October 30, 2011. For example, a unit with a date of manufacture of October 30,
               2011 must meet the Tier 2 specification in order to qualify as ENERGY STAR.
           C. Elimination of Grandfathering
               EPA and the European Commission will not allow grandfathering under this Version 5.0 ENERGY STAR spec­
               ification. ENERGY STAR qualification under Version 4.1 is not automatically granted for the life of the product
               model. Therefore, any product sold, marketed, or identified by the manufacturing partner as ENERGY STAR must
               meet the current specification in effect at the time of manufacture of the product.
        7. Future specification revisions
           EPA and the European Commission reserve the right to change the specification should technological and/or market
           changes affect its usefulness to consumers, industry, or the environment. In keeping with current policy, revisions to
           the specification are arrived at through stakeholder discussions.
           EPA and the European Commission will periodically assess the market in terms of energy efficiency and new tech­
           nologies. As always, stakeholders will have an opportunity to share their data, submit proposals, and voice any
           concerns. EPA and the European Commission will strive to ensure that the Tier 1 and 2 specifications recognize the
           most energy-efficient models in the marketplace and reward those Partners who have made efforts to further improve
           energy efficiency.

                       Test Procedures for Displays with a viewable diagonal screen size less than (<) 30 inches
         When to use this document
         This document describes the test procedures for displays with a viewable screen area measuring less than (<) 30 inches
         diagonal for the ENERGY STAR Program Requirements for Displays Version 5.0. The procedures are to be used to
         determine the On, Sleep, and Off Mode power consumption of the unit under test (UUT). Note this appendix includes
         separate procedures for the following product types:
         — CRT displays;
         — Fixed pixel displays without Automatic Brightness Control (ABC) enabled by default; and,
         — Fixed pixel displays with ABC enabled by default.
         1. Test method for CRT displays
         A. Testing conditions, instrumentation, and setup
              Before testing the UUT, ensure the proper testing conditions, instrumentation, and setup are in place as outlined in
              the Product Test Conditions and Instrumentation, and Product Test Setup sections of the Displays specification.
         B. On Mode
                (1) Connect the test sample to the outlet or power source and test equipment.
                (2) Power on all test equipment and properly adjust power source voltage and frequency.
                (3) Check for normal operation of the test unit and leave all customer adjustments set to factory default settings.
                (4) Bring the test unit into On Mode either by using the remote control device or by using the ON/OFF switch on
                     the test unit cabinet.
                (5) Allow the UUT to reach operating temperature (approximately 20 minutes).
                (6) Set the proper display mode. (Refer to Product Test Setup, Section G, Resolution and Refresh Rate.)
                (7) Provide dark room conditions. (Refer to Product Test Conditions and Instrumentation, Section F, Light
                     Measurement Protocols, and Section E, Dark Room Conditions.)
                (8) Set size and luminance as follows:
                     (a) Initiate the AT01P (Alignment Target 01 Positive Mode) pattern (VESA FPDM Standard 2.0, A112-2F,
                          AT01P) for screen size and use it to set the display to the Partner's recommended image size, which is
                          typically slightly smaller than maximum viewable screen size.
                     (b) Then, test pattern (VESA FPDM Standard 2.0, A112-2F, SET01K) shall be displayed that provides eight
                          shades of gray from full black (0 volts) to full white (0,7 volts) (6). Input signal levels shall conform to VESA
                          Video Signal Standard (VSIS), Version 1.0, Rev. 2.0, December 2002.
                     (c) Adjust (where feasible) the display brightness control downward from its maximum until the lowest black
                          bar luminance level is just slightly visible (VESA FPDM Standard 2.0, Section 301-3K).
                     (d) Display a test pattern (VESA FPDM Standard 2.0, A112-2H, L80) that provides a full white (0,7 volts) box
                          that occupies 80 % of the image.
                     (e) Adjust the contrast control until the white area of the screen is set at the following luminance: 100 cd/m2
         (6) Corresponding voltage values for digital only interface displays that correspond to the brightness of the image (0 to 0,7 volts) are: 0
             volts (black) = a setting of 0, 0,1 volts (darkest shade of gray analog) = 36 digital gray, 0,7 volts (full white analog) = 255 digital gray;
             please note that future digital interface specifications may widen this range, but in all cases, 0 volts shall correspond to black and the
             maximum value shall correspond to white, with 0,1 volts corresponding to one-seventh of the maximum value.

                  (f) measured according to VESA FPDM Standard 2.0, Section 302-1. (If the display's maximum luminance is
                      less than the prescribed luminance, above, the technician shall use the maximum luminance and report the
                      value to EPA or the European Commission, as applicable, with other required testing documentation.
                      Similarly, if the display's minimum luminance is greater than the prescribed luminance, the technician
                      shall use the minimum luminance and report the value to EPA or the European Commission, as applicable.)
                  (g) The luminance value shall be reported to EPA or the European Commission, as applicable, with other
                      required testing documentation.
             (9) Once luminance is set, dark room conditions are no longer needed.
           (10) Set the power meter current range. The full-scale value selected multiplied by the crest factor rating (Ipeak/Irms)
                  of the meter must be greater than the peak current reading from the oscilloscope.
           (11) Allow the readings on the power meter to stabilize and then take the true power reading in watts from the
                  power meter. Measurements are considered stable once the wattage reading does not vary more than 1 % over a
                  three-minute period. (Refer to Product Test Setup, Section I, Stability.)
           (12) Record power consumption and total pixel format (horizontal × vertical pixels displayed), to calculate
                  pixels/watt.
        C. Sleep Mode (Power Switch On, No Video Signal)
           (1) At the conclusion of the On Mode test, initiate the display's Sleep Mode. The method of adjustment shall be
                documented along with the sequence of events required to reach the Sleep Mode. Power on all test equipment
                and properly adjust operation range.
           (2) Allow the display to remain in Sleep Mode until stable power readings are measured. Measurements are
                considered stable once the wattage reading does not vary more than 1 % over a three-minute period. Tester
                shall ignore the input sync signal check cycle when metering the unit in Sleep Mode.
           (3) Record the test conditions and test data. The measurement time shall be sufficiently long to measure the correct
                average value (i.e., not peak or instantaneous power). If the device has different Sleep Modes that can be manually
                selected, the measurement should be taken with the device in the most energy consumptive of those modes. If
                the modes are cycled through automatically, the measurement time should be long enough to obtain a true
                average that includes all modes.
        D. Off Mode (Power Switch Off)
           (1) At the conclusion of the Sleep Mode test, initiate the display's Off Mode using the power switch that is most
                easily accessed by the user. The method of adjustment shall be documented along with the sequence of events
                required to reach the Off Mode. Power on all test equipment and properly adjust operation range.
           (2) Allow the display to remain in Off Mode until stable power readings are measured. Measurements are considered
                stable once the wattage reading does not vary more than 1 % over a three-minute period. Tester shall ignore the
                input sync signal check cycle when metering the model in Off Mode.
           (3) Record the test conditions and test data. The measurement time shall be sufficiently long to measure the correct
                average value (i.e., not peak or instantaneous power).

                      measured according to VESA FPDM Standard 2.0, Section 302-1. (If the display's maximum luminance is
                      less than the prescribed luminance in the table above, the technician shall use the maximum luminance and
                      report the value to EPA or the European Commission, as applicable, with other required testing docu­
                      mentation. Similarly, if the display's minimum luminance is greater than the prescribed luminance, the
                      technician shall use the minimum luminance and report the value to EPA or the European Commission, as
                      applicable.)
                  (e) The luminance value shall be reported to EPA or the European Commission, as applicable, with other
                      required testing documentation.
              (9) Once luminance is set, dark room conditions are no longer needed.

               Test Procedures for Displays with a viewable diagonal screen size from 30 to 60 inches, inclusive
        When to use this document
        This document describes the test procedures for displays with a viewable diagonal screen size from 30 to 60 inches,
        inclusive ("large displays"), for the ENERGY STAR Program Requirements for Displays Version 5.0. The procedures are to
        be used to determine the On, Sleep, and Off Mode power consumption of the unit under test (UUT).

                                            (average) mode."
        1.   Testing conditions, instrumentation, and setup
             Before testing the UUT, ensure the proper testing conditions, instrumentation, and setup are in place as outlined in
             the Product Test Conditions and Instrumentation, and Product Test Setup sections of the Displays specification.
        2.   Measuring power in on, sleep, and off mode
        A. On Mode (Guidance on Implementation of IEC 62087)
             Below, guidance is provided on using IEC 62087, Ed. 2.0 for measuring large displays' On Mode power. For purposes
             of determining ENERGY STAR qualification of a product, the below exceptions and clarifications apply.
             (1) Accuracy of Input Signal Levels: Section 11.4.12, "Accuracy of input signal levels," reminds testers that video
                 inputs used for testing should be within ± 2% of reference white and black levels. Section B.2 of Annex B,
                 "Considerations for On (average) mode television set power measurements" describes the importance of input
                 signal accuracy in further detail. EPA and the European Commission would like to emphasize the importance of
                 using accurate/calibrated video inputs during On Mode testing and encourages testers to use HDMI inputs
                 wherever possible.
             (2) True Power Factor: Due to increased awareness of the importance of power quality, Partners shall indicate the
                 true power factor of their displays during On Mode measurement.
             (3) Use of Test Materials for Testing: To measure average On Mode power consumption, Partners should measure
                 'Po_broadcast' as described in section 11.6.1, "On mode (average) testing with dynamic broadcast-content video
                 signal."
             (4) Testing at Factory Default Settings: In measuring the On Mode power consumption of large displays, EPA and the
                 European Commission are interested in capturing first and foremost the power consumption of products as they
                 are shipped from the factory. Picture level adjustments that need to be made prior to testing On Mode power
                 consumption should be made per section 11.4.8, "Picture level adjustments," if applicable.
                 Section 11.4.8 reads: "The contrast and brightness of the television set and the backlight level, if it exists, shall be
                 set as originally adjusted by the manufacturer to the end user. In the case that a setting mode must be chosen on
                 initial activation, the 'standard mode' or equivalent shall be chosen. In the case that no 'standard mode' or
                 equivalent exists, the first mode listed in the on-screen menus shall be selected. The mode used during the test
                 shall be described in the report. 'Standard mode' is defined as 'recommended by the manufacturer for normal
                 home use.'"
                 For products shipped with a forced menu where the customer must select upon initial start up the mode in
                 which the product will operate, section 11.4.8 states that testing must be conducted in "standard mode."
                 Information relaying that the product qualifies for ENERGY STAR in a specific setting and that this is the setting
                 in which power savings will be achieved will be included with the product in its packaging and posted on the
                 Partner's Web site, where information about the model is listed.
             (5) Testing of displays with Automatic Brightness Control: For this test procedure, high ambient lighting is to be set
                 at 300 lux, while low ambient lighting is to be set at 0 lux, as follows:
 ---pagebreak--- 6.3.2013           EN                               Official Journal of the European Union                                             L 63/49
                   (a) Set the ambient light level to 300 lux as measured at the face of an ambient light sensor.
                   (b) Measure the high ambient lighting On Mode power consumption, Ph, as described in section 11.6.1, "On
                       mode (average) testing with dynamic broadcast-content video signal."
                   (c) Set the ambient light level to 0 lux as measured at the face of an ambient light sensor.
                   (d) Measure the low ambient lighting On Mode power consumption, Pl, as described in section 11.6.1, "On
                       mode (average) testing with dynamic broadcast-content video signal."
                   (e) Calculate average On Mode power consumption using the equation in section 3.A.3., Displays with
                       Automatic Brightness Control, on page 7 of the specification.
         B.   Sleep Mode (Power Switch On, No Video Signal)
              (1) At the conclusion of the On Mode test, initiate the display's Sleep Mode. The method of adjustment shall be
                   documented along with the sequence of events required to reach the Sleep Mode. Power on all test equipment
                   and properly adjust operation range.
              (2) Allow the display to remain in Sleep Mode until stable power readings are measured. Measurements are
                   considered stable once the wattage reading does not vary more than 1% over a three-minute period. Tester
                   shall ignore the input sync signal check cycle when metering the unit in Sleep Mode.
              (3) Record the test conditions and test data. The measurement time shall be sufficiently long to measure the correct
                   average value (i.e., not peak or instantaneous power). If the device has different Sleep Modes that can be manually
                   selected, the measurement should be taken with the device in the most energy consumptive of those modes. If
                   the modes are cycled through automatically, the measurement time should be long enough to obtain a true
                   average that includes all modes.
         C. Off Mode (Power Switch Off)
              (1) At the conclusion of the Sleep Mode test, initiate the display's Off Mode using the power switch that is most
                   easily accessed by the user. The method of adjustment shall be documented along with the sequence of events
                   required to reach the Off Mode. Power on all test equipment and properly adjust operation range.
              (2) Allow the display to remain in Off Mode until stable power readings are measured. Measurements are considered
                   stable once the wattage reading does not vary more than 1% over a three-minute period. Tester shall ignore the
                   input sync signal check cycle when metering the model in Off Mode.
              (3) Record the test conditions and test data. The measurement time shall be sufficiently long to measure the correct
                   average value (i.e., not peak or instantaneous power).
              (4) Reporting results: Upon completion of this test procedure, please refer to the Product Test Documentation
                   section of the specification for guidance on how to report your test results to EPA or the European Commission,
                   as applicable.
         3.   Measuring luminance
              After the IEC test clip has run and the power consumption has been recorded, the technician shall measure the
              product's luminance using the methodology described below. Note, the technician shall not alter the product's
              settings from how they were set during the power consumption test.
              (1) Using the three bar video signal (Lt) static test image referenced in section 11.5 of IEC 62087, measure the center
                   point, axial luminance of the display per the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) Flat Panel Display
                   Measurements Standard (FPDM) Version 2.0, section 301-2H.
              (2) Report in OPS the measured luminance value in candelas per square meter (cd/m2), rounded to the nearest whole
                   number.
              (3) All luminance measurements should be performed in accordance with the test conditions outlined above for large
                   displays. Specifically, measuring the luminance must be conducted with the display's settings as they are shipped
                   from the factory. For products with a forced menu, measurements shall be conducted in standard, or home
                   mode.
                                                  III. IMAGING EQUIPMENT SPECIFICATIONS
         A. Definitions
              Products
            1. Copier — A commercially available imaging product whose sole function is the production of hard-copy duplicates
               from graphic hard-copy originals. The unit must be capable of being powered from a wall outlet or from a data or
               network connection. This definition is intended to cover products that are marketed as copiers or upgradeable
               digital copiers (UDCs).
 ---pagebreak--- L 63/50         EN                              Official Journal of the European Union                                              6.3.2013
         2. Digital Duplicator — A commercially available imaging product that is sold in the market as a fully automated
            duplicator system through the method of stencil duplicating with digital reproduction functionality. The unit must
            be capable of being powered from a wall outlet or from a data or network connection. This definition is intended to
            cover products that are marketed as digital duplicators.
         3. Facsimile Machine (Fax Machine) — A commercially available imaging product whose primary functions are
            scanning hard-copy originals for electronic transmission to remote units and receiving similar electronic trans­
            missions to produce hard-copy output. Electronic transmission is primarily over a public telephone system, but also
            may be via a computer network or the Internet. The product also may be capable of producing hard-copy
            duplicates. The unit must be capable of being powered from a wall outlet or from a data or network connection.
            This definition is intended to cover products that are marketed as fax machines.
         4. Mailing Machine — A commercially available imaging product that serves to print postage onto mail pieces. The
            unit must be capable of being powered from a wall outlet or from a data or network connection. This definition is
            intended to cover products that are marketed as mailing machines.
         5. Multifunction Device (MFD) — A commercially available imaging product which is a physically integrated device or
            a combination of functionally integrated components that performs two or more of the core functions of copying,
            printing, scanning, or faxing. The copy functionality as addressed in this definition is considered to be distinct from
            single-sheet convenience copying offered by fax machines. The unit must be capable of being powered from a wall
            outlet or from a data or network connection. This definition is intended to cover products that are marketed as
            MFDs or multifunction products (MFPs).
            Note: If the MFD is not a single integrated unit but a set of functionally integrated components, then the manu­
            facturer must certify that when installed correctly in the field, the sum of all energy or power use for all MFD
            components comprising the base unit will achieve the energy or power levels provided in section C to qualify as an
            ENERGY STAR MFD.
         6. Printer — A commercially available imaging product that serves as a hard-copy output device, and is capable of
            receiving information from single-user or networked computers, or other input devices (e.g. digital cameras). The
            unit must be capable of being powered from a wall outlet or from a data or network connection. This definition is
            intended to cover products that are marketed as printers, including printers that can be upgraded to MFDs in the
            field.
         7. Scanner — A commercially available imaging product that functions as an electro-optical device for converting
            information into electronic images that can be stored, edited, converted, or transmitted, primarily in a personal
            computing environment. The unit must be capable of being powered from a wall outlet or from a data or network
            connection. This definition is intended to cover products that are marketed as scanners.
            Marking Technologies
         8. Direct Thermal (DT) — A marking technology that transfers an image by burning dots onto a coated medium as it
            passes over a heated print head. DT products do not use ribbons.
         9. Dye Sublimation (DS) — A marking technology where images are formed by depositing (subliming) dye onto the
            print media based upon the amount of energy delivered by the heating elements.
        10. Electrophotography (EP) — A marking technology characterised by illumination of a photoconductor in a pattern
            representing the desired hard-copy image via a light source, development of the image with particles of toner using
            the latent image on the photoconductor to define the presence or absence of toner at a given location, transfer of
            the toner to the final hard-copy medium, and fusing to cause the desired hard copy to become durable. Types of EP
            include Laser, LED, and LCD. Colour EP is distinguished from monochrome EP in that toners of at least three
            different colours are available in a given product at one time. Two types of colour EP technology are defined below:
        11. Parallel Colour EP — A marking technology that uses multiple light sources and multiple photoconductors to
            increase the maximum colour printing speed.
        12. Serial Colour EP — A marking technology that uses a single photoconductor in a serial fashion and one or multiple
            light sources to achieve the multi-colour hard-copy output.
 ---pagebreak--- 6.3.2013        EN                                Official Journal of the European Union                                               L 63/51
         13. Impact — A marking technology characterised by the formation of the desired hard-copy image by transferring
             colorant from a 'ribbon' to the media via an impact process. Two types of impact technology are Dot Formed
             Impact and Fully Formed Impact.
         14. Ink Jet (IJ) — A marking technology where images are formed by depositing colorant in small drops directly onto
             the print media in a matrix manner. Colour IJ is distinguished from monochrome IJ in that more than one colorant
             is available in a product at any one time. Typical types of IJ include Piezo-electric (PE) IJ, IJ Sublimation, and
             Thermal IJ.
         15. High Performance IJ — An IJ marking technology in high-performance business applications that usually employ
             electrophotographic marking technology. High Performance IJ differs from conventional IJ in that it has nozzle
             arrays that span the width of a page and/or the ability to dry the ink on the media through additional media-heating
             mechanisms.
         16. Solid Ink (SI) — A marking technology where the ink is solid at room temperature and liquid when heated to the
             jetting temperature. Transfer to the media can be direct, but is most often made to an intermediate drum or belt and
             then offset-printed to the media.
         17. Stencil — A marking technology that transfers images onto the print media from a stencil that is fitted around an
             inked drum.
         18. Thermal Transfer (TT) — A marking technology where the desired hard-copy image is formed by depositing small
             drops of solid colorant (usually coloured waxes) in a melted/fluid state directly onto the print media in a matrix
             manner. TT is distinguished from IJ in that the ink is solid at room temperature and is made fluid by heat.
             Operational Modes, Activities, and Power States
         19. Active — The power state in which the product is connected to a power source and is actively producing output, as
             well as performing any of its other primary functions.
         20. Automatic Duplexing — The capability of a copier, fax machine, MFD, or printer to automatically place images on
             both sides of an output sheet, without manual manipulation of output as an intermediate step. Examples of this are
             one-sided to two-sided copying and two-sided to two-sided copying. A product is considered to have automatic
             duplexing capability only if the model includes all accessories needed to satisfy the above conditions.
         21. Default Delay Time — The time set by the manufacturer prior to shipping that determines when the product will
             enter a lower-power mode (e.g. Sleep, Off) following completion of its primary function.
         22. Off — The power state that the product enters when it has been manually or automatically switched off but is still
             plugged in and connected to the mains. This mode is exited when stimulated by an input, such as a manual power
             switch or clock timer, to bring the unit into Ready mode. When this state is the result of manual intervention by a
             user, it is often referred to as Manual Off, and when it is the result of automatic or predetermined stimuli (e.g. a
             delay time or clock), it is often referred to as Auto Off.
         23. Ready — The condition that exists when the product is not producing output, has reached operating conditions, has
             not yet entered into any lower-power modes, and can enter Active mode with minimal delay. All product features
             can be enabled in this mode, and the product must be able to return to Active mode by responding to any potential
             input options designed into the product. Potential inputs include external electrical stimulus (e.g. network stimulus,
             fax call, or remote control) and direct physical intervention (e.g. activating a physical switch or button).
         24. Sleep — The reduced power state that the product enters automatically after a period of inactivity. In addition to
             entering Sleep automatically, the product may also enter this mode 1) at a user-set time-of-day, 2) immediately in
             response to manual action by the user, without actually turning off, or 3) through other, automatically achieved
             ways that are related to user behaviour. All product features can be enabled in this mode and the product must be
             able to enter Active mode by responding to any potential input options designed into the product; however, there
             may be a delay. Potential inputs include external electrical stimulus (e.g. network stimulus, fax call, remote control)
             and direct physical intervention (e.g. activating a physical switch or button). The product must maintain network
             connectivity while in Sleep, waking up only as necessary.
             Note: When reporting data and qualifying products that can enter Sleep mode in multiple ways, partners should
             reference a Sleep level that can be reached automatically. If the product is capable of automatically entering multiple,
             successive Sleep levels, it is at the manufacturer's discretion which of these levels is used for qualification purposes;
             however, the default delay time provided must correspond with whichever level is used.
 ---pagebreak--- L 63/52           EN                              Official Journal of the European Union                                                6.3.2013
          25. Standby — The lowest power consumption mode that cannot be switched off (influenced) by the user and which
               may persist for an indefinite time when the product is connected to the main electricity supply and used in
               accordance with the manufacturer's instructions (7). Standby is the product's minimum power mode.
               Note: For imaging equipment products addressed by these specifications, the Standby power level, or the minimum
               power mode, usually occurs in Off mode, but can occur in Ready or Sleep. A product cannot exit Standby and
               reach a lower power state unless it is physically disconnected from the main electricity supply as a result of manual
               manipulation.
               Product Size Formats
          26. Large Format — Products categorised as Large Format include those designed for A2 media and larger, including
               those designed to accommodate continuous-form media at a width of 406 millimetres (mm) or wider. Large-format
               products may also be capable of printing on standard-size or small-format media.
          27. Small Format — Products categorised as Small Format include those designed for media sizes smaller than those
               defined as Standard (e.g. A6, 4″ x 6″, microfilm), including those designed to accommodate continuous-form media
               at widths smaller than 210 mm.
          28. Standard — Products categorised as Standard include those designed for standard-sized media (e.g. Letter, Legal,
               Ledger, A3, A4, and B4), including those designed to accommodate continuous-form media at widths between
               210 mm and 406 mm. Standard-size products may also be capable of printing on small-format media.
               Additional Terms
          29. Accessory — An optional piece of peripheral equipment that is not necessary for the operation of the base unit, but
               that may be added before or after shipment in order to add functionality. An accessory may be sold separately
               under its own model number, or sold with a base unit as part of a package or configuration.
          30. Base Product — A base product is the standard model shipped by the manufacturer. When product models are
               offered in different configurations, the base product is the most fundamental configuration of the model, which
               possesses the minimum number of functional adders available. Functional components or accessories offered as
               optional, rather than standard, are not considered part of the base product.
          31. Continuous Form — Products categorised as Continuous Form include those which do not use a cut-sheet media
               size, and are designed for key applications such as printing of bar codes, labels, receipts, waybills, invoices, airline
               tickets, or retail tags.
          32. Digital Front-end (DFE) — A functionally integrated server that hosts other computers and applications and acts as
               an interface to imaging equipment. A DFE provides greater functionality to the imaging product. A DFE is defined as
               either:
               Type 1 DFE: A DFE that draws its DC power from its own AC power supply (internal or external), which is separate
               from the power supply that powers the imaging equipment. This DFE may draw its AC power directly from a wall
               outlet, or it may draw it from the AC power associated with the imaging product's internal power supply.
               Type 2 DFE: A DFE that draws its DC power from the same power supply as the imaging equipment with which it
               operates. Type 2 DFEs must have a board or assembly with a separate processing unit that is capable of initiating
               activity over the network and can be physically removed, isolated, or disabled using common engineering practices
               to allow power measurements to be made.
               A DFE also offers at least three of the following advanced features:
               (a) Network connectivity in various environments;
               (b) Mailbox functionality;
               (c) Job queue management;
               (d) Machine management (e.g. waking the imaging equipment from a reduced power state);
               (e) Advanced graphical user-interface (UI);
        (7) IEC 62301 — Household electrical appliances — Measurement of standby power. 2005.
 ---pagebreak--- 6.3.2013         EN                               Official Journal of the European Union                                           L 63/53
              (f) Ability to initiate communication with other host servers and client computers (e.g. scanning to email, polling
                  remote mailboxes for jobs); or
              (g) Ability to post-process pages (e.g. reformatting pages prior to printing).
          33. Functional Adder — A functional adder is a standard product feature that adds functionality to the base marking
              engine of an imaging equipment product. The Operational Mode portion of these specifications contains additional
              power allowances for certain functional adders. Examples of functional adders include wireless interfaces and
              scanning capability.
          34. Operational Mode (OM) Approach — A method of testing and comparing the energy performance of imaging
              equipment products which focuses on product energy consumption in various low-power modes. The key criteria
              used by the OM approach are values for low-power modes, measured in watts (W). Detailed information can be
              found in the 'ENERGY STAR Qualified Imaging Equipment Operational Mode Test Procedure' available at www.
              energystar.gov/products.
          35. Marking Engine — The very basic engine of an imaging product, which drives the image production of that product.
              Without additional functional components, a marking engine cannot acquire image data to process and is, therefore,
              non-functional. A marking engine is reliant on functional adders for communication ability and image processing.
          36. Model — An imaging equipment product that is sold or marketed under a unique model number or marketing
              name. A model may comprise a base unit or a base unit and accessories.
          37. Product Speed — In general, for Standard-size products, a single A4 or 8.5″ x 11″ sheet printed/copied/scanned on
              one side in a minute is equal to one image-per-minute (ipm). If the maximum claimed speeds differ when producing
              images on A4 or 8.5″ x 11″ paper, the higher of the two is used.
              — For mailing machines, one piece of mail processed in a minute is equal to one mail-piece-per-minute (mppm).
              — For Small-format products, a single A6 or 4″ x 6″ sheet printed/copied/scanned on one side in a minute is equal
                  to 0.25 ipm.
              — For Large-format products, a single A2 sheet is equivalent to 4 ipm and one A0 sheet is equivalent to 16 ipm.
              — For continuous-form products categorised as Small-format, Large-format, or Standard-size, print speed in ipm
                  should be obtained from the product's maximum marketed imaging speed in metres per minute according to the
                  conversion below:
                  X ipm = 16 × [Maximum media width (metres) × Maximum imaging speed (length-metres/minute)]
              In all cases, the converted speed in ipm should be rounded to the nearest integer (e.g. 14.4 ipm rounds to 14.0 ipm;
              14.5 ipm rounds to 15 ipm).
              For qualification purposes, manufacturers should report the speed of the product according to the prioritisation of
              functions outlined below:
              — Print Speed, unless the product cannot perform the print function, in which case,
              — Copy Speed, unless the product cannot perform the print or copy functions, in which case,
              — Scan Speed.
          38. Typical Electricity Consumption (TEC) Approach — A method of testing and comparing the energy performance of
              imaging equipment products which focuses on the typical electricity consumed by a product while in normal
              operation during a representative period of time. The key criterion of the TEC approach for imaging equipment is a
              value for typical weekly electricity consumption, measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh). Detailed information can be
              found in the Typical Electricity Consumption Test Procedure in section D.2.
         B.   Qualifying products
              These ENERGY STAR specifications are intended to cover personal, business, and commercial imaging equipment
              products but not industrial products (e.g. products directly connected to three-phase power). Units must be capable
              of being powered from a wall outlet or from a data or network connection, using the international standard
 ---pagebreak--- L 63/54    EN                              Official Journal of the European Union                                        6.3.2013
        nominal voltage supplies listed in section D.4. In order to qualify as ENERGY STAR, an imaging equipment product

           Only those products listed in section B above that meet the following criteria may qualify as ENERGY STAR.
           Effective dates are provided in section F.
           Products Sold with an External Power Supply: To qualify as ENERGY STAR under the present Imaging Equipment
           Version 1.1 specifications, imaging equipment products manufactured on or after 1 July 2009 using a single-voltage
           external AC-AC or AC-DC power supply must use an ENERGY STAR-qualified external power supply, or one that
           meets the ENERGY STAR External Power Supply (EPS) Version 2.0 requirements when tested by the ENERGY STAR
           test method. The ENERGY STAR specification and test method for single-voltage external AC-AC and AC-DC power
           supplies may be found at www.energystar.gov/products.
           Products Designated to Operate with a Type 1 DFE: To qualify as ENERGY STAR under the present Imaging Equipment
           Version 1.1 specifications, an imaging equipment product manufactured on or after 1 July 2009 that is sold with a
           Type 1 DFE must use a DFE that meets the ENERGY STAR Imaging Equipment Digital Front End Power Supply
           Efficiency Requirements listed in section C.3.
           Products Designated to Operate with a Type 2 DFE: For an imaging equipment product sold with a Type 2 DFE and
           manufactured on or after 1 July 2009 to qualify as ENERGY STAR under the present Imaging Equipment Version
           1.1 specifications, manufacturers should subtract the DFE's energy consumption in Ready mode for TEC products or
           exclude it when measuring Sleep and Standby for OM products. Section C.1 provides further detail on adjusting TEC
           values for DFEs for TEC products and section C.2 provides further detail for excluding DFEs from OM Sleep and
           Standby levels.
           It is the intent of EPA and the European Commission that, whenever possible, the power associated with the DFE
           (Type 1 or Type 2) should be excluded or subtracted from the TEC energy and OM power measurements.
           Products Sold with an Additional Cordless Handset: To qualify, fax machines or MFDs with fax capability manufactured
           on or after 1 July 2009 that are sold with additional cordless handsets must use an ENERGY STAR-qualified
           handset, or one that meets the ENERGY STAR Telephony specification when tested to the ENERGY STAR test
           method on the date the imaging product is qualified as ENERGY STAR. The ENERGY STAR specification and test
           method for telephony products may be found at www.energystar.gov/products.

            For imaging products with a Type 2 DFE, the energy consumption of the DFE, calculated as in the example below,
            should be excluded when comparing the product's measured TEC value with the limits listed below. The DFE must
            not interfere with the ability of the imaging product to enter or exit its lower-power modes. In order to be excluded,
            the DFE must meet the definition in section A.32 and be a separate processing unit that is capable of initiating
            activity over the network.
            Example: A printer's total TEC result is 24.5 kWh/week and its internal DFE consumes 50W in Ready mode. 50W ×
            168 hours/week = 8.4 kWh/week, which is then subtracted from the tested TEC value: 24.5 kWh/week —
            8.4 kWh/week = 16.1 kWh/week. 16.1 kWh/week is then compared to the following limits.
            Note: In all of the following equations, x = Monochrome Product Speed (ipm).

        2. ENERGY STAR Eligibility Criteria — OM
           To qualify as ENERGY STAR, the power consumption values for imaging equipment listed in section C, Table 2,
           above must not exceed the corresponding limits below. For products that meet the Sleep-mode power requirement
           in Ready mode, no further automatic power reductions are required to meet the Sleep limit. Additionally, for
           products that meet the standby-power requirements in Ready or Sleep mode, no further automatic power reductions
           are required to qualify as ENERGY STAR.
           For imaging products with a functionally integrated DFE that relies on the imaging product for its power, the power
           consumption of the DFE should be excluded when comparing the product's measured Sleep with the combined
           marking-engine and functional-adder limits below and when comparing the measured Standby level with the
           Standby limits below. The DFE must not interfere with the ability of the imaging product to enter or exit its
           lower-power modes. In order to be excluded, the DFE must meet the definition in section A.32 and be a separate
           processing unit that is capable of initiating activity over the network.

         Default Delay Time Requirements: To qualify for ENERGY STAR, OM products must meet the default delay time
         settings in Tables A through C below for each product type, enabled upon product shipment. In addition, all OM
         products must be shipped with a maximum machine delay time not in excess of four hours, which is adjustable
         only by the manufacturer. This maximum machine delay time cannot be influenced by the user and typically cannot
         be modified without internal, invasive product manipulation. The default delay time settings in Tables A through C
         may be user-adjustable.

         The eligibility criteria in OM Tables 1 through 8 further below address the marking engine of the product. Since
         products are expected to be shipped with one or more functions beyond a basic marking engine, the corresponding
         allowances below should be added to the marking engine criteria for Sleep. The total value for the base product plus
 ---pagebreak--- L 63/60    EN                             Official Journal of the European Union                                             6.3.2013
        the functional adders should be used to determine eligibility. Manufacturers may apply no more than three primary
        functional adders to each product model, but may apply as many secondary adders as are present (with primary
        adders in excess of three included as secondary adders). An example of this approach is provided below:
        Example: Consider a Standard-size IJ printer with a USB 2.0 connection and a memory card connection. Assuming
        the USB connection is the primary interface used during the test, the printer model would receive a functional-adder
        allowance of 0.5 W for USB and 0.1 for the memory card reader, for a total of 0.6 W in functional-adder allow­
        ances. Since OM Table 2 sets a Sleep mode marking-engine limit of 1.4 W, to determine qualification under
        ENERGY STAR, the manufacturer would add together the Sleep mode marking-engine limit and the applicable
        functional-adder allowances to determine the maximum power consumption permitted for qualification of the base
        product: 1.4 W + 0.6 W. If the power consumption of the printer in Sleep mode is measured at or below 2.0 W,
        then the printer would meet the ENERGY STAR Sleep limit.

                         Internal storage drives present on the imaging product. Includes internal drives only (e.g. disk
                         drives, DVD drives, Zip drives), and applies to each separate drive. This adder does not cover
                         interfaces to external drives (e.g. SCSI) or internal memory.
                         Scanners with CCFL lamps or non-CCFL lamps         —                          0.5
                         The presence of a scanner that uses Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp (CCFL) technology or a
                         technology other than CCFL, such as Light-Emitting Diode (LED), Halogen, Hot-Cathode Fluorescent
                         Tube (HCFT), Xenon, or Tubular Fluorescent (TL) technologies. This adder is applied only once,
                         regardless of the lamp size or the number of lamps/bulbs employed.

                         without use of significant PC resources)
                         This adder applies to imaging products that rely on an external computer for significant resources,
                         such as memory and data processing, to perform basic functions commonly performed by imaging
                         products independently, such as page rendering. This adder does not apply to products that simply
                         use a computer as a source or destination for image data.
                         Cordless handset                                   —                          0.8
                         The capability of the imaging product to communicate with a cordless handset. This adder is
                         applied only once, regardless of the number of cordless handsets the product is designed to
                         handle. This adder does not address the power requirements of the cordless handset itself.
                         Memory                                             —                          1.0 W per 1 GB
                         The internal capacity available in the imaging product for storing data. This adder applies to all
                         volumes of internal memory and should be scaled accordingly. For example, a unit with 2.5 GB of
                         memory would receive an allowance of 2.5 W while a unit with 0.5 GB would receive an allowance
                         of 0.5 W.

                         rating (OR)                                                                   0.02 x (PSOR — 10 W)
                         Note: This adder ONLY applies to products
                         which fall under OM Tables 2 and 6.
                         This adder applies to only those imaging products which fall under OM Tables 2 and 6. The
                         allowance is calculated from the internal or external power supply's rated DC output as specified by
                         the power supply manufacturer. (It is not a measured quantity). For example, a unit that is rated to
                         provide up to 3 A at 12 V has a PSOR of 36 W and would receive a power supply allowance of
                         0.02 × (36-10) = 0.02 × 26 = 0.52 W. For supplies that provide more than one voltage, the sum of
                         power from all voltages is used unless the specifications note that there is a rated limit lower than
                         this. For example, a supply which can supply 3A of 24 V and 1.5 A of 5 V output has a total PSOR
                         of (3 × 24) + (1.5 × 5) = 79.5 W, and an allowance of 1.39 W.
         For the adder allowances shown in Table 3 above, distinctions are made between 'primary' and 'secondary' types of
         adders. These designations refer to the state in which the interface is required to remain while the imaging product
         is in Sleep. Connections that remain active during the OM test procedure while the imaging product is in Sleep are
         defined as primary, while connections that can be inactive while the imaging product is in Sleep are defined as
         secondary. Most functional adders typically are secondary types.
         Manufacturers should consider only the adder types that are available on a product in its as-shipped configuration.
         Options available to the consumer after the product is shipped or interfaces that are present on the product's
         externally powered digital front-end (DFE) should not be considered when applying allowances to the imaging
         product.

        For products with multiple interfaces, these interfaces should be considered as unique and separate. However,
        interfaces that perform multiple functions should only be considered once. For example, a USB connection that
        operates as both 1.x and 2.x may be counted only once and given a single allowance. When a particular interface
        may fall under more than one interface type according to Table 3 above, the manufacturer should choose the
        function that the interface is primarily designed to perform when determining the appropriate adder allowance. For
        example, a USB connection on the front of the imaging product that is marketed as a PictBridge or 'camera
        interface' in the product literature should be considered a type E interface rather than a Type B interface. Similarly,
        a memory-card-reader slot that supports multiple formats may only be counted once. Further, a system that
        supports more than one type of 802.11 may count as only one wireless interface.

         3. DFE Efficiency Requirements
            The following efficiency requirements are for Digital Front End equipment as defined in section A of these
            specifications.
            Power Supply Efficiency Requirements
            Type 1 DFE Using an Internal AC-DC Power Supply: A DFE that gets its DC power from its own internal AC-DC
            power source must meet the following power supply efficiency requirement: 80 % minimum efficiency at 20 %,
            50 %, and 100 % of rated output and Power Factor ≥ 0.9 at 100 % of rated output.
            Type 1 DFE Using an External Power Supply: A DFE that gets its DC power from its own external power supply (as
            defined by the ENERGY STAR V2.0 Programme Requirements for Single Voltage AC-AC and AC-DC External Power
            Supplies) must be ENERGY STAR-qualified or meet the no-load and active-mode efficiency levels specified in the
            ENERGY STAR V2.0 Programme Requirements for Single Voltage AC-AC and AC-DC External Power Supplies. The
            ENERGY STAR specification and qualified product list can be found at: www.energystar.gov/powersupplies.
            Test Procedures
            Manufacturers are required to perform tests and self-certify those models that meet the ENERGY STAR guidelines.
            — In performing these tests, the partner agrees to use the applicable test procedures provided in Table 4 below.
            — The test results for qualifying products must be reported to EPA or the European Commission, as appropriate.
            Additional testing and reporting requirements are provided below.
 ---pagebreak--- L 63/64       EN                                 Official Journal of the European Union                                                 6.3.2013
           Models Capable of Operating at Multiple Voltage/Frequency Combinations: Manufacturers must test their products
           based on the market(s) in which the models will be sold and promoted as ENERGY STAR-qualified. EPA and its
           ENERGY STAR Country Partners have agreed upon a table with three voltage/frequency combinations for testing
           purposes. Please refer to section D.4 for details regarding international voltage/frequency combinations for each
           market.
           For products that are sold as ENERGY STAR in multiple international markets, and are therefore rated at multiple
           input voltages, the manufacturer must test and report the required power consumption or efficiency values at all
           relevant voltage/frequency combinations. For example, a manufacturer that ships the same model to the United
           States and Europe must carry out measurements, meet the specification, and report test values at both 115
           Volts/60 Hz and 230 Volts/50 Hz in order to qualify the model as ENERGY STAR in both markets. If a model
           qualifies as ENERGY STAR at only one voltage/frequency combination (e.g. 115 Volts/60 Hz), then it may only be
           qualified and promoted as ENERGY STAR in those regions that support the tested voltage/frequency combination
           (e.g. North America and Taiwan).

                                                        ENERGY STAR Test
        D. Testing guidelines
           The specific instructions for testing the energy efficiency of imaging equipment products are given in three separate
           sections below, entitled:
           — Typical Electricity Consumption Test Procedure;
           — Operational Mode Test Procedure;
           and
           — Test Conditions and Equipment for ENERGY STAR Imaging Equipment Products.
           The test results produced by these procedures will be used as the primary basis for determining ENERGY STAR
           qualification.
           Manufacturers are required to perform tests and self-certify those product models that meet the ENERGY STAR
           guidelines. Families of imaging equipment models that are built on the same chassis and are identical in every
           respect except for housing and colour may be qualified through the submission of test data for a single, represen­
           tative model. Likewise, models that are unchanged or differ only in finish from those sold in a previous year may
           remain qualified without the submission of new test data, assuming the specification remains unchanged.
           If a product model is offered in the market in multiple configurations as a product family or series, the partner may
           test and report the highest configuration available in the family, rather than each and every individual model. When
           submitting model families, manufacturers continue to be held accountable for any efficiency claims made about
           their imaging products, including those not tested or for which data were not reported.
           Example: Models A and B are identical, with the exception that model A is shipped with a wired interface >
           500 MHz, and model B is shipped with a wired interface < 500 MHz. If model A is tested and meets the
           ENERGY STAR specification, then the partner may report the test data solely for model A, to represent both
           models A and B.
           If a product's electrical power comes from the mains, USB, IEEE1394, Power-over-Ethernet, the telephone system, or
           any other means or combinations of means, the net AC electrical power consumed by the product (taking into
           account AC-to-DC conversion losses, as specified in the OM test procedure) must be used for qualification.
           1. Additional testing and reporting requirements are provided below.
                Number of Units Required for Test
                Testing will be conducted by the manufacturer or its authorised representative on a single unit of a model.
                (a) For products listed in section B, Table 1, of these specifications, if the initial unit tested has TEC test results
                    that meet the eligibility criteria but are within 10% of the limit, one additional unit of the same model must
                    also be tested. Manufacturers must report values for both units. To qualify as ENERGY STAR, both units
                    must meet the ENERGY STAR specification.
 ---pagebreak--- 6.3.2013    EN                                Official Journal of the European Union                                                L 63/65
             (b) For products listed in section B, Table 2, of these specifications, if the initial unit tested has OM test results
                 that meet the eligibility criteria but are within 15% of the limits in any of the specified operating modes for
                 that product type, then two more units must be tested. To qualify as ENERGY STAR, all three units must
                 meet the ENERGY STAR specification.
             Submission of Qualified Product Data to EPA or the European Commission, as appropriate
             Partners are required to self-certify those product models that meet the ENERGY STAR guidelines and report
             information to EPA or the European Commission, as appropriate. The information to be reported for products
             will be outlined shortly following publication of the final specifications. In addition, partners must submit to
             EPA or the European Commission, as appropriate, excerpts from product literature that explain to consumers
             the recommended default delay times for power management settings. The intention of this requirement is to
             show that products are being tested as shipped and recommended for use.
             Models Capable of Operating at Multiple Voltage/Frequency Combinations
             Manufacturers must test their products based on the market(s) in which the models will be sold and promoted
             as ENERGY STAR-qualified. EPA, the European Commission and their ENERGY STAR Country Partners have
             agreed upon a table with three voltage/frequency combinations for testing purposes. Please refer to the Imaging
             Equipment Test Conditions for details regarding international voltage/frequency and paper sizes for each market.
             For products that are sold as ENERGY STAR in multiple international markets, and are therefore rated at
             multiple input voltages, the manufacturer must test and report the required power consumption or efficiency
             values at all relevant voltage/frequency combinations. For example, a manufacturer that ships the same model to
             the United States and Europe must carry out measurements, meet the specification, and report test values at
             both 115 Volts/60 Hz and 230 Volts/50 Hz in order to qualify the model as ENERGY STAR in both markets. If
             a model qualifies as ENERGY STAR at only one voltage/frequency combination (e.g. 115 Volts/60 Hz), then it
             may only be qualified and promoted as ENERGY STAR in those regions that support the tested voltage/fre­
             quency combination (e.g. North America and Taiwan).
         2. Typical Electricity Consumption (TEC) Test Procedure
             (a) Types of Products Covered: The TEC test procedure is for the measurement of Standard-size products as
                 defined in section B, Table 1.
             (b) Test Parameters
                 This section describes the test parameters to use when measuring a product under the TEC test procedure.
                 This section does not cover test conditions, which are outlined in section D.4 below.
                 Testing in Simplex
                 Products will be tested in simplex mode. Originals for copying must be simplex images.
                 Test Image
                 The test image is Test Pattern A from ISO/IEC standard 10561:1999. It must be rendered in 10 point size in
                 a fixed-width Courier font (or nearest equivalent); German-specific characters need not be reproduced if the
                 product is incapable of doing so. The image must be rendered on an 8.5″ × 11″ or A4 sheet of paper, as
                 appropriate for the intended market. For printers and MFDs that can interpret a page description language
                 (PDL) (e.g. PCL, Postscript), images must be sent to the product in a PDL.
                 Testing in Monochrome
                 Colour-capable products must be tested making monochrome images unless incapable of doing so.
                 Auto-off and Network Enabling
                 The product must be configured as-shipped and recommended for use, particularly for key parameters such
                 as power-management default delay times and resolution (except as specified below). All information from
                 the manufacturer about recommended delay times must be consistent with the as-shipped configuration,
                 including those in operating manuals, on Web sites, and that provided by installation personnel. If a printer,
                 digital duplicator or MFD with print capability, or fax machine has an Auto-off capability and it is enabled as
 ---pagebreak--- L 63/66           EN                                Official Journal of the European Union                                                6.3.2013
                       shipped, it must be disabled prior to the test. Printers and MFDs that are capable of being network-
                       connected as-shipped (8) must be connected to a network. The type of network connection (or other data
                       connection if the product is not capable of being networked) is at the discretion of the manufacturer, and
                       the type used must be reported. Print jobs for the test may be sent over non-network connections (e.g. USB),
                       even on those units that are network-connected.
                       Product Configuration
                       Paper source and finishing hardware must be present and configured as-shipped and recommended for use;
                       however, their use in the test is at the manufacturer's discretion (e.g. any paper source may be used). Anti-
                       humidity features may be turned off if user-controllable. Any hardware that is part of the model and
                       intended to be installed or attached by the user (e.g. a paper feature) must be installed prior to this test.
                       Digital Duplicators
                       Digital duplicators should be set up and used in accordance with their design and capabilities. For example,
                       each job should include only one original image. Digital duplicators must be tested at maximum claimed
                       speed, which is also the speed that should be used to determine the job size for performing the test, not at
                       the default speed as-shipped, if different. Digital duplicators will otherwise be treated as printers, copiers, or
                       MFDs, depending on their capabilities as shipped.
                   (c) Job Structure
                       This section describes how to determine the number of images per job to use when measuring a product
                       under the TEC test procedure, and jobs per day for the TEC calculation.
                       For purposes of this test procedure, the product speed used to determine the job size for the test is the
                       manufacturer's reported maximum claimed simplex speed for making monochrome images on standard-
                       sized paper (8.5″ × 11″ or A4), rounded to the nearest integer. This speed will also be used for reporting
                       purposes as the Product Speed of the model. The default output speed of the product, which is to be used in
                       the actual testing, is not measured and may differ from the maximum claimed speed due to factors such as
                       settings for resolution, image quality, printing modes, document scan time, job size and structure, and paper
                       size and weight.
                       Fax machines should always be tested with one image per job. The number of images per job to be used for
                       all other IE products is to be computed according to the following three steps. For convenience, Table 8
                       provides the resultant images per job computation for each integral Product Speed up through 100 images
                       per minute (ipm).
                         (i) Calculate the number of jobs per day. The number of jobs per day varies with Product Speed:
                             For units with a speed of eight ipm or less, use eight jobs per day.
                             For units with a speed between eight and 32 ipm, the number of jobs per day is equal to the speed. For
                             example, a 14 ipm unit uses 14 jobs per day.
                             For units with a speed of 32 ipm and above, use 32 jobs per day.
                        (ii) Calculate the nominal amount of images per day (9) from Table 5. For example, a 14 ipm unit uses
                             0.50 × 142, or 98 images per day.
                                                                               Table 5
                                                                  Imaging Equipment Job Table
                                             Product type                        Rating to use              Formula (images per day)
                             Monochrome (except fax)                    monochrome speed                 0.50 × ipm2
                             Colour (except fax)                        monochrome speed                 0.50 × ipm2
                       (iii) Calculate the number of images per job by dividing the number of images per day by the number of
                             jobs per day. Round down (truncate) to the nearest integer. For example, a figure of 15.8 should be
                             reported as 15 images per job, rather than rounding to 16 images per job.
        (8) The type of network connection must be reported. Common types are Ethernet, 802.11, and Bluetooth. Common non-network data
            connection types are USB, Serial, and Parallel.
        (9) Interim Images/Day in Table 37.
 ---pagebreak--- 6.3.2013 EN                                   Official Journal of the European Union                                               L 63/67
                    For copiers below 20 ipm, there should be one original per required image. For jobs with large numbers
                    of images, such as those for machines greater than 20 ipm, it may not be possible to match the number
                    of required images, particularly with limits on the capacity of document feeders. Therefore, copiers 20
                    ipm and above may make multiple copies of each original as long as the number of originals is at least
                    ten. This may result in more images being made than required. As an example, for a 50 ipm unit that
                    requires 39 images per job, the test may be done with four copies of ten originals or three copies of 13
                    originals.
          (d) Measurement Procedures
              To measure time, an ordinary stopwatch and timing to a resolution of one second is sufficient. All energy
              figures are to be recorded as watt-hours (Wh). All time is to be recorded in seconds or minutes. 'Zero meter'
              references are to the 'Wh' readout of the meter. Tables 6 and 7 outline the steps of the TEC procedure.
              Service/maintenance modes (including colour calibration) should generally not be included in TEC measure­
              ments. Any such modes that occur during the test are to be noted. If a service mode occurs during a job
              other than the first, that job may be dropped and a substitute job added to the test. If a substitute job is
              needed, do not record the energy values for the dropped job and add the substitute job immediately after
              Job 4. The 15-minute job interval is to be maintained at all times, including for the job that is dropped.
              MFDs without print capability are to be treated as copiers for all purposes of this test procedure.
                (i) Procedure for Printers, Digital Duplicators and MFDs with Print Capability, and Fax Machines
                                                                         Table 6

                Notes:
                — Before beginning the test, it is helpful to check the power-management default delay times to ensure
                    they are as-shipped, and to confirm that there is plenty of paper in the device.
                — The 'Zero meter' instruction may be carried out by recording the accumulated energy consumption
                    at that time rather than literally zeroing the meter.
                — Step 1 — The Off measurement period can be longer if desired, to reduce measurement error. Note
                    that the Off power is not used in the calculations.
                — Step 2 — If the unit has no Ready indicator, use the time at which the power consumption level
                    stabilises to the Ready level.
                — Step 3 — After recording the Active0 time, the remainder of this job can be cancelled.
                — Step 5 — The period of 15 minutes is from job initiation. The unit must show increased energy
                    consumption within five seconds of zeroing the meter and timer; it may be necessary to initiate
                    printing before zeroing to assure this.
                — Step 6 — A unit that is shipped with short default delay times might begin Steps 6-8 from Sleep.
                — Step 9 — Units may have multiple Sleep modes so that all but the last Sleep mode are included in
                    the Final period.
                Each image is to be sent separately; they may all be part of the same document, but should not be
                specified in the document as multiple copies of a single original image (unless the product is a digital
                duplicator, as specified in section D.2(b)).
                For fax machines that only use one image per job, the page is to be fed into the unit's document feeder
                for convenience copying, and may be placed in the document feeder before the test begins. The unit
                need not be connected to a telephone line unless the telephone line is necessary for performing the test.
                For example, if the fax machine lacks convenience copying capability, then the job performed in Step 2
                should be sent via phone line. On fax machines without a document feeder, the page should be placed
                on the platen.

                        energy and final time are zero.
                   — Step 10 — The Auto-off testing interval may be longer to improve accuracy.
                   Originals may be placed in the document feeder before the test begins. Products without a document
                   feeder may make all images from a single original placed on the platen.
             (iii) Additional Measurement for Products with a Digital Front End (DFE)
                   This step applies only to products that have a DFE as defined in section A.32.
                   If the DFE has a separate mains power cord, regardless of whether the cord and controller are internal
                   or external to the imaging product, a five-minute energy measurement of the DFE alone is to be made
                   while the main product is in Ready mode. The unit must be connected to a network if network-capable
                   as shipped.
                   If the DFE does not have a separate mains power cord, the manufacturer must document the AC power
                   required for the DFE when the unit as a whole is in a Ready mode. This will most commonly be
                   accomplished by taking an instantaneous power measurement of the DC input to the DFE and
                   increasing this power level to account for losses in the power supply.
         (e) Calculation Methods
             The TEC value reflects assumptions about how many hours a day the product is in general use, the pattern
             of use during those hours, and the default delay times that the product uses to transition to lower power
             modes. All electricity measurements are made as accumulated energy over time, and then converted to
             power by dividing by the length of the time period.
             The calculations are based on imaging jobs comprising two clusters each day with the unit going into its
             lowest power mode in between (as during a lunch break), as illustrated in Figure 2 further below. It is
             assumed that weekends have no usage, and no manual switching-off is done.
             Final Time is the period of time from the last job being initiated to the start of the lowest power mode
             (Auto-off for copiers, digital duplicators and MFDs without print capability; and Sleep for printers, digital
             duplicators and MFDs with print capability, and fax machines) minus the 15-minute job interval time.
             The following two equations are used for all product types:
             Average Job Energy = (Job2 + Job3 + Job4) / 3
             Daily Job Energy = (Job1 × 2) + [(Jobs per Day – 2) × Average Job Energy]
             The calculation method for printers, digital duplicators and MFDs with print capability, and fax machines also uses
             the following three equations:
             Daily Sleep Energy = [24 hours – ((Jobs per day / 4) + (Final Time × 2))] × Sleep Power
             Daily Energy = Daily Job Energy + (2 × Final Energy) + Daily Sleep Energy
             TEC = (Daily Energy × 5) + (Sleep Power × 48)
             The calculation method for copiers, digital duplicators and MFDs without print capability also uses the
             following three equations:
             Daily Auto-off Energy = [24 hours – ((Jobs per day / 4) + (Final Time × 2))] × Auto-off Power
             Daily Energy = Daily Job Energy + (2 × Final Energy) + Daily Auto-off Energy
             TEC = (Daily Energy × 5) + (Auto-off Power × 48)

              The specifications of the metering equipment and ranges used in each measurement must be reported.
              Measurements must be conducted so as to result in a total potential error in the TEC value of no more than
              5 %. Accuracy does not need to be reported for cases where the potential error is below 5 %. When the
              potential measurement error is close to 5 %, manufacturers should take measures to confirm that it complies
              with the 5 % limit.

           Figure 2 shows the measurement procedure in graphic form. Note that products with short default delay
           times may include periods of Sleep within the four job measurements, or Auto-off within the     Sleep
           measurement in Step 4. Also, print-capable products with just one Sleep mode will not have a    Sleep
           mode in the final period. Step 10 only applies to copiers, digital duplicators and MFDs without  print
           capability.

                                                                               Figure 3
                                                                            A Typical Day
                        Figure 3 shows a schematic example of an eight-ipm copier that performs four jobs in the morning and four
                        jobs in the afternoon, has two 'final' periods and an Auto-off mode for the remainder of the workday and all
                        of the weekend. An assumed 'lunchtime' period is implied but not explicit. The figure is not drawn to scale.
                        As shown, jobs are always 15 minutes apart and in two clusters. There are always two full 'final' periods
                        regardless of the length of these periods. Printers, digital duplicators and MFDs with print capability, and fax
                        machines use Sleep rather than Auto-off as the base mode but are otherwise treated the same as copiers.
                3. Operational Mode (OM) Test Procedure
                    (a) Types of Products Covered:
                        The OM Test Procedure is for the measurement of products defined in section B, Table 2.
                    (b) Test Parameters
                        This section describes the test parameters to use when measuring a product's power consumption under the
                        OM Test Procedure.
                        Network Connectivity
                        Products that are capable of being network-connected as-shipped (10) must be connected to at least one
                        network during the test procedure. The type of network connection that is active is at the discretion of the
                        manufacturer, and the type used must be reported.
                        The product should not receive operating power over the network connection (e.g. via Power over Ethernet,
                        USB, USB PlusPower, or IEEE 1394) unless that is the only source of power for the product (i.e. no AC
                        power source is present).
                        Product Configuration
                        The product must be configured as shipped and recommended for use, particularly for key parameters such
                        as power-management default delay times, print quality, and resolution. In addition:
                        Paper source and finishing hardware must be present and configured as shipped; however, use of these
                        features in the test is at the manufacturer's discretion (e.g. any paper source may be used). Any hardware that
                        is part of the model and intended to be installed or attached by the user (e.g. a paper feature) must be
                        installed prior to this test.
                        Anti-humidity features may be turned off if they are user-controllable.
                        For fax machines, a page should be fed into the unit's document feeder for convenience copying, and may be
                        placed in the document feeder before the test begins. The unit need not be connected to a telephone line
                        unless the telephone line is necessary for performing the test. For example, if the fax machine lacks
                        convenience copying capability, then the job performed in Step 2 should be sent via phone line. On fax
                        machines without a document feeder, the page should be placed on the platen.
         (10) The type of network connection must be reported. Common network types are Ethernet, WiFi (802.11), and Bluetooth. Common data
              (non-network) connection types are USB, Serial, and Parallel.
 ---pagebreak--- L 63/76 EN                               Official Journal of the European Union                                             6.3.2013
             If a product has an Auto-off mode enabled as shipped, it must be enabled prior to performing the test.
             Speed
             When conducting power measurements under this test procedure, the product should produce images at the
             speed resulting from its default settings as shipped. However, the manufacturer's reported maximum claimed
             simplex speed for making monochrome images on standard-sized paper is to be used for reporting purposes.
         (c) Power Measurement Method
             All power measurements are to be made in accordance with IEC 62301 with the following exceptions:
             To determine the voltage/frequency combinations to be used during testing, see the Test Conditions and
             Equipment for ENERGY STAR Imaging Equipment Products in section D.4.
             The harmonics requirement used during testing is more stringent than that required by IEC 62301.
             The accuracy requirement for this OM test procedure is 2 % for all measurements except for Ready power.
             The accuracy requirement for measuring Ready power is 5 %, as provided in section D.4. The 2 % figure is
             consistent with IEC 62301, although the IEC standard expresses it as a confidence level.
             For products designed to operate using batteries when not connected to the mains, the battery is to be left in
             place for the test; however, the measurement should not reflect active battery charging beyond maintenance
             charging (i.e. the battery should be fully charged before beginning the test).
             Products with external power supplies are to be tested with the product connected to the external power
             supply.
             Products powered by a standard low voltage dc supply (e.g. USB, USB PlusPower, IEEE 1394, and Power
             Over Ethernet) must utilise a suitable AC-powered source for the DC power. This AC-powered source's
             energy consumption is to be measured and reported for the imaging equipment product under test. For
             imaging equipment powered by USB, a powered hub serving only the imaging equipment being tested is to
             be used. For imaging equipment powered by Power Over Ethernet or USB PlusPower, it is acceptable to
             measure the power distribution device with and without the imaging product connected, and use this
             difference as the imaging product's consumption. The manufacturer should confirm that this reasonably
             reflects the unit's DC consumption plus some allowance for power supply and distribution inefficiency.
         (d) Measurement Procedure
             To measure time, an ordinary stopwatch and timing to a resolution of one second is sufficient. All power
             figures are to be recorded in watts (W). Table 9 outlines the steps of the OM test procedure.
             Service/maintenance modes (including colour calibration) generally should not be included in measurements.
             Any adaptation of the procedure needed to exclude such modes that occur during the test must be noted.
             As stated above, all power measurements are to be made in accordance with IEC 62301. Depending on the
             nature of the mode, IEC 62301 provides for instantaneous power measurements, five-minute accumulated
             energy measurements, or accumulated energy measurements over periods long enough to properly assess
             cyclical consumption patterns. Regardless of the method, only power values should be reported.
                                                                   Table 9

                9             Off              Measure Off power.                                  Off power
                Notes:
                — Before beginning the test, it is helpful to check the power-management default delay times to ensure
                     they are as shipped.
                — Step 1 — If the unit has no Ready indicator, use the time at which the power consumption level
                     stabilises to the Ready level, and note this detail when reporting the product test data.
                — Steps 4 and 5 — For products with more than one Sleep level, repeat these steps as many times as
                     necessary to capture all successive Sleep levels and report these data. Two Sleep levels are typically used
                     in large-format copiers and MFDs that use high-heat marking technologies. For products lacking this
                     mode, disregard Steps 4 and 5.
                — Steps 4 and 6 — Default delay time measurements are to be made in parallel, cumulative from the start
                     of Step 4. For example, a product set to enter a Sleep level in 15 minutes and enter a second Sleep level
                     30 minutes after entering the first Sleep level will have a 15-minute default delay time to the first level
                     and a 45-minute default delay time to the second level.
                — Steps 6 and 7 — Most OM products do not have a distinct Auto-off mode. For products lacking this
                     mode, disregard Steps 6 and 7.
                — Step 8 — If the unit has no power switch, wait until it enters its lowest power mode and note this
                     detail when reporting the product test data.
                (i) Additional Measurement for Products with a Digital Front End (DFE)
                     This step applies only to products that have a DFE as defined in section A.32.
                     If the DFE has a separate mains power cord, regardless of whether the cord and controller are internal
                     or external to the imaging product, a five-minute energy measurement of the DFE alone is to be made
                     while the main product is in Ready mode. The unit must be connected to a network if network-capable
                     as shipped.
                     If the DFE does not have a separate mains power cord, the manufacturer must document the AC power
                     required for the DFE when the unit as a whole is in a Ready mode. This will most commonly be
                     accomplished by taking an instantaneous power measurement of the DC input to the DFE and
                     increasing this power level to account for losses in the power supply.

                        (1) Supply Voltage: Manufacturers must test their products based on the market in which the partner intends to sell the
                            products as ENERGY STAR-qualified. For equipment sold in multiple international markets and therefore rated at
                            multiple input voltages, the manufacturer must test at and report all relevant voltages and power consumption
                            levels. For example, a manufacturer that ships the same printer model to the United States and Europe must
                            measure and report the TEC or OM values at both 115 Volts/60 Hz and 230 Volts/50 Hz. If a product is designed
                            to operate at a voltage/frequency combination in a specific market that is different from the voltage/frequency
                            combination for that market (e.g. 230 Volts, 60 Hz in North America), the manufacturer should test the product at
                            the regional combination that most closely matches the product’s design capabilities and note this fact on the test
                            reporting sheet.
                       Paper Specifications:
                       For all TEC tests and for OM tests that require the use of paper, the paper size and basis weight must be
                       appropriate to the intended market, per the following table.
                                                                       Paper Size and Weight

                   (b) Test Equipment
                       The goal of the test procedures is to accurately measure the TRUE power consumption (11) of the product.
                       This necessitates the use of a True RMS power or energy meter. There are many such meters available, and
                       manufacturers need to exercise care in selecting an appropriate model. The following factors must be
                       considered when selecting a meter and conducting the test.
                       Frequency Response: Electronic equipment that contains switching power supplies introduces harmonics
                       (odd harmonics typically up to the 21st). If these harmonics are not accounted for in power measurement,
                       the result will be inaccurate. EPA recommends that manufacturers use meters that have a frequency response
                       of at least 3 kHz; this will account for harmonics up to the 50th, and is recommended by IEC 555.
        (11) True power is defined as (volts)x(amps)x(power factor), and is typically reported as Watts. Apparent power is defined as (volts)x(amps),
             and is usually expressed in terms of VA or volt-amps. The power factor for equipment with switching power supplies is always less
             than 1.0, so true power is always less than apparent power. Accumulated energy measurements sums power measurements over a
             period of time and so also need to be based on measurements of true power.

                        Resolution: For direct power measurements, the resolution of metering equipment must be consistent with
                        the following requirements of IEC 62301:
                              'The power measurement instrument shall have a resolution of:
                              — 0.01 W or better for power measurements of 10 W or less.
                              — 0.1 W or better for power measurements of greater than 10 W up to 100 W
                              — 1 W or better for power measurements of greater than 100 W.' (12)
                        In addition, the measurement instrument must have a resolution of 10 W or better for power measurements
                        greater than 1.5 kW. Measurements of accumulated energy should have resolutions which are generally
                        consistent with these values when converted to average power. For accumulated energy measurements, the
                        figure of merit for determining the required accuracy is the maximum power value during the measurement
                        period, not the average, since it is the maximum that determines the metering equipment and setup.
                        Accuracy
                        Measurements made with these procedures must in all cases have an accuracy of 5 % or better, though
                        manufacturers will usually achieve better than this. Test procedures may specify greater accuracy than 5 %
                        for some measurements. With knowledge of the power levels of current imaging products and the meters
                        available, manufacturers can calculate the maximum error based on the reading and the range utilised for the
                        reading. For measurements of 0.50 W or less, the required accuracy is 0.02 W.
                        Calibration
                        Meters must have been calibrated within the last 12 months to ensure accuracy.
         E.     User interface
                Manufacturers are strongly recommended to design products in accordance with IEEE 1621: Standard for User
                Interface Elements in Power Control of Electronic Devices Employed in Office/Consumer Environments. This
                standard was developed to make power controls more consistent and intuitive across all electronic devices. For
                details on the development of this standard, see http://eetd.lbl.gov/controls.
         F.     Effective date
                The date that manufacturers may begin to qualify products as ENERGY STAR under the present Version 1.1
                specifications will be defined as the effective date of the agreement. Any previously executed agreement on the
                subject of ENERGY STAR-qualified imaging equipment will be terminated as of 30 June 2009.
                Qualifying and Labelling Products under this Version 1.1: the Version 1.1 specifications will commence on 1 July
                2009. All products, including models originally qualified under previous imaging equipment specifications, with a
                date of manufacture on or after 1 July 2009, must meet the new Version 1.1 requirements in order to qualify for
                ENERGY STAR (including additional manufacturing runs of models originally qualified under previous specifi­
                cations). The date of manufacture is specific to each unit and is the date (e.g. month and year) on which a unit
                is considered to be completely assembled.
                Elimination of Grandfathering: EPA and the European Commission will not allow grandfathering under the present
                Version 1.1 ENERGY STAR specifications. ENERGY STAR qualification under previous Versions is not automatically
                granted for the life of the product model. Therefore, any product sold, marketed, or identified by the manufacturing
                partner as ENERGY STAR must meet the current specifications in effect at the time of manufacture of the product.
         G.     Future specification revisions
                EPA and the European Commission reserve the right to change the specifications should technological and/or
                market changes affect their usefulness to consumers, industry, or the environment. In keeping with current
                policy, revisions to the specifications are arrived at through stakeholder discussions and are expected to occur
                approximately 2 – 3 years from the effective date of Version 1.1. EPA and the European Commission will period­
                ically assess the market in terms of energy efficiency and new technologies. As always, stakeholders will have an
                opportunity to share their data, submit proposals, and voice any concerns. EPA and the European Commission will
                strive to ensure that the specifications recognise the most energy-efficient models in the marketplace and reward
                those manufacturers who have made efforts to further improve energy efficiency. Some of the issues to consider
                addressing in the next specifications include:
         (12) IEC 62301 — Household Electrical Appliances — Measurement of Standby Power 2005.
 ---pagebreak--- L 63/80    EN                              Official Journal of the European Union                                           6.3.2013
        (a) Colour Testing: Based on submitted test data, future consumer preferences, and engineering advancements, EPA
            and the European Commission may modify the specifications at some point in the future to include colour
            imaging in the test method.
        (b) Recovery Time: EPA and the European Commission will closely monitor incremental and absolute recovery
            times as reported by partners testing to the TEC method, as well as partner-submitted documentation regarding
            recommended default delay settings. EPA and the European Commission will consider modification of the
            specifications to address recovery time should it become apparent that manufacturer practices are resulting
            in user disabling of power management modes.
        (c) Addressing OM Products Under TEC: Based on submitted test data, opportunities for greater energy savings, and
            engineering advancements, EPA and the European Commission may modify the specifications at some point in
            the future to address products that are currently treated by the OM approach under the TEC approach, including
            Large-format and Small-format products, as well as products that employ IJ technology.
        (d) Additional Energy Impacts: EPA and the European Commission are interested in providing consumers with
            choices that significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions compared to typical alternative choices. EPA and the
            European Commission will be seeking input from stakeholders on methods to document and quantify the
            environmental impacts under which manufacturing, transportation, product design or the use of consumables
            can lead to a product with the same or even better overall greenhouse gas impact as products earning the
            ENERGY STAR based on greenhouse gas emission from energy use alone. We are exploring ways to effectively
            address these issues and may amend these specifications as warranted based on sufficient supporting
            information. EPA and the European Commission will work closely with stakeholders on any revisions and
            ensure revisions are aligned with ENERGY STAR programme guiding principles.
        (e) Reporting Data at 230 V: EPA and the European Commission may consider that for those products marketed in
            different markets, one of which includes a 230 V market, data from testing at the 230 V level should be
            acceptable as sufficient for the multiple markets. This suggestion is based on the observation that if a
            product meets the 230 V specifications, it will meet the standards at the lower voltage levels.
        (f) Expanding Duplexing Requirements: EPA and the European Commission may re-assess the presence of
            duplexing on the current range of products, and consider how the optional requirements could be made
            more stringent. Revisiting the duplexing requirements to ensure greater coverage of duplexing would potentially
            result in reduced paper usage, which has been found to be the largest life-cycle impact of a printer.
        (g) Revising TEC Test Procedure: EPA and the European Commission may revisit the TEC test methodology to make
            usage assumptions more transparent or add requirements to the specification that power consumption be
            measured and reported in some distinct modes that would allow for values relevant to actual usage patterns.
        (h) Power States: EPA and the European Commission may consider revising the definition of certain power terms
            (e.g. Standby) or adding new power management approaches (e.g. weekend Sleep) in order to maintain
            consistency with international criteria and to obtain the highest achievable energy savings for imaging
            equipment.
