ANNEX III Measurements and verification procedure for market surveillance 1. MEASUREMENTS For the purposes of compliance and verification of compliance with the applicable requirements of this Regulation, measurements and calculations shall be made using harmonised standards, the reference numbers of which have been published in the Official Journal of the European Union , or using other reliable, accurate and reproducible methods which take into account the generally recognised state of the art, and produce results deemed to be of low uncertainty. Computers placed on the market without an operating system capable of supporting an Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) system or similar, shall be tested with an ACPI (or similar) supporting operating system. 2. VERIFICATION PROCEDURE When performing the market surveillance checks referred to in Article 3(2) of Directive 2009/125/EC, the authorities of the Member States shall apply the following verification procedure for the ecodesign requirements set out in Annex II to this Regulation: E TEC , sleep mode, off mode and lowest power state: 2.1. For power demand requirements larger than 1,00 W, or where energy consumption requirements formulated in TEC result in a power demand requirement larger than 1,00 W in at least one power mode, Member State authorities shall test one single unit as follows: The model configuration shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements set out in points 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 and 2.3 of Annex II if the test results for the applicable limit values do not exceed them by more than 7 %. The model configuration shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements set out in point 2.2 of Annex II if the test results for the applicable limit values do not exceed them by more than 7 %. An additional allowance as set out in point 2.4 of Annex II can be added to the test results if the model configuration is placed on the market with a WOL functionality enabled in sleep mode. The model configuration should be tested with WOL functionality both enabled and disabled and should comply with both requirements. The model configuration placed on the market without Ethernet capability shall be tested without WOL enabled. If the test results referred to above are not achieved, three additional units of the same model configuration shall be tested. After three additional units of the same model and configuration have been tested, the model configuration shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements set out in points 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 2.2 and 2.3 of Annex II if the average of the test results of the latter three units for the applicable limit values does not exceed them by more than 7 %. If the test results referred to above are not achieved, the model configuration and all models that are covered by the same product information (mentioned in Annex II, points 7.1.2 and 7.3.2) shall be considered not to comply with the applicable requirements set out in points 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 2.2 and 2.3 of Annex II. 2.2. For power demand requirements smaller than or equal to 1,00 W, Member State authorities shall test one single unit as follows: The model configuration shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements set out in point 3.1 of Annex II if the test results for the applicable limit values do not exceed them by more than 0,10 W. An additional allowance as set out in point 3.3 of Annex II can be added to the test results if the model configuration is placed on the market with an ‘information or status display’. The model configuration shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements set out in point 4.1 of Annex II if the test results for the applicable limit values do not exceed them by more than 0,10 W. An additional allowance as set out in point 4.3 of Annex II can be added to the test results if the model configuration is placed on the market with a WOL functionality enabled in off mode. The model configuration should be tested with WOL functionality both enabled and disabled and should comply with both requirements. The model configuration placed on the market without Ethernet capability shall be tested without WOL enabled. If the test results referred to above are not achieved, three additional units of the same model configuration shall be tested. After three additional units of the same model and configuration have been tested, the model configuration shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements set out in points 3.1 and 4.1 of Annex II if the average of the test results of the latter three tests for the applicable limit values does not exceed them by more than 0,10 W. If the test results referred to above are not achieved, the model configuration and all models that are covered by the same product information (mentioned in Annex II, points 7.1.2 and 7.3.2) shall be considered not to comply with the applicable requirements set out in points 3.1 and 4.1 of Annex II. Internal power supply efficiency 2.3. Authorities of the Member States shall test one single unit. The model shall be considered to comply with the provisions set out in point 5 of Annex II if: (a) the arithmetic average of efficiency at load conditions as defined in Annex II does not fall below the applicable limit value for average active efficiency by more than 2 %; and (b) the arithmetic average of the power factor as defined in Annex II does not fall below the applicable limit value for the power factor by more than 10 %. If the results referred to above are not achieved, three additional units of the same model shall be tested. After three additional units of the same model have been tested, the model shall be considered to comply with the provisions set out in point 5 of Annex II if: (a) the average of the arithmetic averages of efficiency at load conditions as defined in Annex II does not fall below the applicable limit value for average active efficiency by more than 2 %; and (b) the arithmetic average of the power factor as defined in Annex II does not fall below the applicable limit value for the power factor by more than 10 %. If the results referred to above are not achieved, the model configuration and all models that are covered by the same product information (mentioned in Annex II, points 7.1.2 and 7.3.2) shall be considered not to comply with the applicable requirements set out in point 5 of Annex II. Power management enabling 2.4. For the requirements set out in point 6.1 of Annex II, Member State authorities shall use the applicable procedure to measure the power demand after the power management function, or a similar function, has switched the equipment into the applicable power mode. 2.5. For the requirements set out in points 6.2.1 to 6.2.6 of Annex II, Member State authorities shall test one single unit as follows: The model configuration shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements set out in point 6.2.1 if the speed of any active 1 Gigabit per second (Gb/s) Ethernet network links is reduced when a desktop computer, integrated desktop computer or notebook computer transitions to sleep or off-with-WOL mode. The model configuration shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements set out in point 6.2.2 if a desktop computer, integrated desktop computer or notebook computer becomes fully usable, including rendering of any connected display, within 5 seconds after a wake event is initiated during sleep mode. The model configuration shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements set out in point 6.2.3 if a display connected to a desktop computer, integrated desktop computer or notebook computer enters sleep mode within 10 minutes of user inactivity. The model configuration shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements set out in point 6.2.4 if a WOL function for sleep and off mode can be enabled and disabled. The model configuration shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements set out in point 6.2.5 if a desktop computer, integrated desktop computer or notebook computer enters sleep mode within 30 minutes of user inactivity. The model configuration shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements set out in point 6.2.6 if users are able to easily activate and deactivate any wireless network connection(s) and users are given a clear indication with a symbol, light or equivalent, when wireless network connection(s) have been activated or deactivated. If the test results referred to above are not achieved, three additional units of the same model configuration should be tested. After three additional units of the same model and configuration have been tested, the model configuration shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements set out in points 6.2.1 to 6.2.6 of Annex II if all three of the additional units meet the requirements. If the results referred to above are not achieved, the model configuration and all models that are covered by the same product information (mentioned in Annex II, points 7.1.2 and 7.3.2) shall be considered not to comply with the applicable requirements set out in points 6.2.1 to 6.2.6 of Annex II. The verification tolerances defined in this Annex relate only to the verification of the measured parameters by Member State authorities and shall not be used by the manufacturer as an allowed tolerance on the values in the technical documentation to achieve compliance with the requirements. Declared values shall not be more favourable for the manufacturer than the values reported in the technical documentation.
