Measurements of on mode power demand

3.—(1) Measurements of the power demand (“P_measured”) referred to paragraph 2 of Schedule 19 must meet the following conditions.

(2) Measurements must be made in the normal configuration.

(3) Measurements must be—

(a) made using a dynamic broadcast-content video signal representing typical broadcast content for electronic displays in standard dynamic range (SDR); and

(b) the average power consumed over 10 consecutive minutes.

(4) Measurements must be made after the electronic display has been in the off mode or, if an off-mode is not available, in standby mode, for a minimum of 1 hour immediately followed by a minimum of 1 hour in the on mode and must be completed before a maximum of 3 hours in on-mode.

(5) The relevant video signal must be displayed during the entire on mode duration.

(6) For electronic displays that are known to stabilise within 1 hour, the durations referred to in sub-paragraph (4) may be reduced if the resulting measurement can be shown to be within 2 per cent of the results that would otherwise be achieved using the full durations.

(7) Where ABC is available, measurements must—

(a) be made with ABC switched off; or

(b) if ABC cannot be switched off, must be performed in an ambient light condition of 100 lux measured at the ABC sensor.
