ANNEX ISupplementary provisions
ANNEX I Definitions applicable for the Annexes The following definitions shall apply: (1) ‘ on mode ’ or ‘ active mode ’ means a condition in which the electronic display is connected to a power source, has been activated and is providing one or more of its display functions; (2) ‘ off mode ’ means a condition in which the electronic display is connected to the mains power source and is not providing any function; the following shall also be considered as off mode: (1) conditions providing only an indication of off mode condition; (2) conditions providing only functionalities intended to ensure electromagnetic compatibility pursuant to Directive 2014/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 6 ); (3) ‘ standby mode ’ means a condition where the electronic display is connected to a power source, depends on energy input from that source to work as intended and provides only the following functions, which may persist for an indefinite time: — reactivation function, or reactivation function and only an indication of enabled reactivation function; and/or — information or status display; (4) ‘ organic light emitting diode (OLED)’ means a technology in which light is produced from a solid state device embodying a pn junction of organic material. A junction emits optical radiation when excited by electric current; (5) ‘microLED display’ means an electronic display where individual pixels are lit using microscopic LED technology; (6) ‘ normal configuration ’ means a display setting which is recommended to the end-user by the manufacturer from the initial set up menu or the factory setting that the electronic display has for the intended product use. It must deliver the optimal quality for the end user in the intended environment and for the intended use. The normal configuration is the condition in which the values for off, standby, networked standby and on mode are measured; (7) ‘ External Power Supply (EPS) ’ means a device as defined in Commission Regulation (EU) 2019/1782 ( 7 ); (8) ‘ USB ’ means Universal Serial Bus; (9) ‘ Automatic Brightness Control (ABC) ’ means the automatic mechanism that, when enabled, controls the brightness of an electronic display as a function of the ambient light level illuminating the front of the display; (10) ‘ default ’, referring to a specific feature or setting, means the value of a specific feature as set at the factory and available when the customer uses the product for the first time and after performing a ‘reset to factory settings’ action, if allowed by the product; (11) ‘ luminance ’ means the photometric measure of the luminous intensity per unit area of light traveling in a given direction, expressed in units of candelas per square meter (cd/m 2 ). The term brightness is often used to ‘subjectively’ qualify the luminance of a display; (12) ‘ close viewing ’ means a viewing distance comparable to that obtained when viewing an electronic display held in the hand or when sitting at the desk; (13) ‘ forced menu ’ means a specific menu, appearing upon initial start-up of the display or upon a reset to factory settings, offering a set of alternative display settings, pre-defined by the manufacturer; (14) ‘ network ’ means a communication infrastructure with a topology of links and an architecture that includes the physical components, organisational principles and communication procedures and formats (protocols); (15) ‘ network interface ’ or ‘ network port ’ means a wired or wireless physical interface, providing network connection, through which functions of the electronic display can be remotely activated and data received or sent. Interfaces to input data such as video and audio signals, but not originated from a network source and not using a network address, are not considered to be a network interface; (16) ‘ network availability ’ means the capability of an electronic display to activate functions after a remotely initiated trigger has been detected by a network interface; (17) ‘ networked display ’ means an electronic display that can connect to a network using one of its network interfaces, if enabled; (18) ‘ networked standby mode ’ means a condition in which the electronic display is able to resume a function by way of a remotely initiated trigger from a network interface; (19) ‘ reactivation function ’ means a function that via a remote switch, a remote control unit, an internal sensor, a timer or, for networked displays in networked standby mode, the network, provides a switch from standby mode or networked standby mode to a mode, other than off-mode, providing additional functions; (20) ‘ room presence sensor ’ or ‘ gesture detection sensor ’ or ‘ occupancy sensor ’ means a sensor monitoring and reacting to the movements in the space around the product whose signal can trigger the switching to on mode. Lack of movement detection for a predetermined time can be used to switch into standby mode or networked standby mode; (21) ‘ pixel (picture element) ’ means the area of the smallest element of a picture that can be distinguished from its neighbouring elements; (22) ‘ touch functionality ’ means the possibility of inputting commands using, as input device, a touch-sensitive device, that generally is in the form of a transparent film layered on top of an electronic display panel; (23) ‘ brightest on mode configuration ’ means the configuration of the electronic display, set by the manufacturer, which provides an acceptable picture with the highest measured peak white luminance; (24) ‘ shop configuration ’ means the configuration for use specifically in the context of demonstrating the electronic display, for example in high illumination (retail) conditions and not involving an auto power-off if no user action or presence is detected. This configuration may be not accessible through a displayed menu; (25) ‘ dismantling ’ means possibly irreversible taking apart of an assembled product into its constituent materials and/or components; (26) ‘ disassembling ’ means reversible taking apart of an assembled product into its constituent materials and/or components without functional damage that would preclude reassembling, reuse or refurbishment of the product; (27) ‘ step ’ referring to dismantling or disassembling, means an operation that finishes with a change of tool or with the removal of a component or part; (28) ‘ Printed Circuit Board ’ (PCB) means an assembly that mechanically supports and electrically connects electronic or electrical components using conductive tracks, pads and other features etched from one or more sheet layers of conductive metal laminated onto or between sheet layers of a non-conductive substrate; (29) ‘ PMMA ’ means PolyMethylMethAcrylate; (30) ‘ flame retardant ’ or ‘ fire retardant ’ means a substance that markedly retards the propagation of a flame; (31) ‘ halogenated flame retardant ’ means a flame retardant that contains any halogen; (32) ‘ homogeneous material ’ means one material of uniform composition throughout or a material consisting of a combination of materials, that cannot be disjointed or separated into different materials by mechanical actions such as unscrewing, cutting, crushing, grinding and abrasive processes; (33) ‘ product database ’ means a collection of data concerning products which is arranged in a systematic manner and consists of a consumer-oriented public part, where information concerning individual product parameters is accessible by electronic means, of an online portal for accessibility and of a compliance part, with clearly specified accessibility and security requirements, as laid down in Regulation (EU) 2017/1369; (34) ‘ equivalent model ’ means a model which has the same technical characteristics relevant for the technical information to be provided, but which is placed on the market or put into service by the same manufacturer, importer or authorised representative as another model with a different model identifier; (35) ‘ model identifier ’ means the code, usually alphanumeric, which distinguishes a specific product model from other models with the same trade mark of the same manufacturer’s, importer’s or authorised representative’s name; (36) ‘ spare part ’ means a separate part that can replace a part with the same function in a product; (37) ‘ professional repairer ’ means an operator or undertaking which provides services of repair and professional maintenance of electronic displays; (38) ‘declared values’ means the values provided by the manufacturer, importer or authorised representative for the stated, calculated or measured technical parameters in accordance with Article 4, for the verification of compliance by the Member State authorities; (39) ‘HD resolution’ means 1920 x 1080 pixels or 2 073 600 pixels; (40) ‘UHD resolution’ means 3840 x 2160 pixels or 8 294 400 pixels.
