Commission Decision of 25 March 2002 establishing the ecological criteria for the award of the Community eco-label to televisions (notified under document number C(2002) 1142) (Text with EEA relevance) (2002/255/EC) (repealed)

1.Energy savingsU.K.

(a)

The television (hereinafter also referred to as ‘the product’) shall have an off-switch which is placed at the front of the television and is clearly visible.

(b)

The passive(1) stand-by consumption of the television shall be ≤ 1,0 watt.

(c)

For televisions which have an integrated digital receiver/decoder (IRD), the active stand-by consumption(2) of the television shall be ≤ 9,0 watts.

(d)

The television shall have an on-mode energy efficiency index (EEIon) which is lower than 65 % of the base-case consumption for a television of that format. The on-mode energy efficiency index EEIon shall be derived from the equation:

where:

  • Pon is the measured energy consumption of the television in the on mode;

  • Pon,bc is the base-case energy consumption of the television in the on mode. This is calculated using the following formula:

    where:

    • digit is equal to 1 if the television has digital processing for picture scanning, 0 if it does not have such processing,

    • format is equal to 0,80 for a standard screen (4:3 aspect ratio), and 0,87 for a wide screen (16:9 aspect ratio),

    • scrnsize is the screen diagonal in cm,

    • scrnarea is the area of the screen in dm2, i.e. it is equal to scrnsize × scrnsize × 0,48/100 for a standard screen (4:3 aspect ratio), and scrnsize × scrnsize × 0,427/100 for a wide screen (16:9 aspect ratio),

    • idd is equal to 1 if the TV has an integrated digital decoder for digital broadcast signals, otherwise it is equal to 0.

Assessment and verification: the applicant shall provide a test report stating that the level of power consumption in each of these modes has been measured using the procedures shown in EN 50301 (methods of measurement on receivers for TV broadcast transmission). The report shall state the measured power consumption in each mode, the calculated base-case on-mode consumption, and the calculated percentage of base-case consumption in the on-mode.U.K.

(1)

Passive stand-by: the TV is connected to a power source, produces neither sound nor vision, and is waiting to be switched into the modes ‘off’, ‘active stand-by’ or ‘on’ on receipt of a direct or indirect signal, e.g. from the remote control.

(2)

Active stand-by: the TV is connected to a power source, produces neither sound nor vision, and is exchanging/receiving data with/from an external source.
