ANNEX IU.K.Ecodesign requirements

1.One year after this Regulation has come into force, SSTBs placed on the market shall not exceed the following power consumption limits; SSTBs with an integrated hard disk and/or second tuner are exempt from that requirement:U.K.

Standby modeActive mode
Simple STB1,0 W5,0 W
Allowance for display function in standby1,0 W—
Allowance for decoding HD signals—3,0 W

2.Three years after this Regulation has come into force SSTBs, placed on the market shall not exceed the following power consumption limits:U.K.

Standby modeActive mode
Simple STB0,5 W5,0 W
Allowance for display function in standby0,5 W—
Allowance for hard disk—6,0 W
Allowance for second tuner—1,0 W
Allowance for decoding HD signals—1,0 W

3.Availability of standby modeU.K.

One year after this Regulation has come into force, SSTBs shall provide standby mode.

4.Automatic power-downU.K.

One year after this implementing measure has come into force, SSTBs shall be equipped with an ‘automatic power-down’ or similar function with the following characteristics:

  • the SSTB shall be automatically switched from active mode into standby after less than three hours in active mode following the last user interaction and/or a channel change with an alert message two minutes before going into standby mode.

  • the ‘automatic power-down’ function shall be set as default.

5.MeasurementsU.K.

The power consumption referred to in Points 1 and 2 shall be established by a reliable, accurate and reproducible measurement procedure, which takes into account the generally recognised state of the art.

Textual Amendments

6.Information to be provided by the manufacturers for the purposes of conformity assessmentU.K.

For the purposes of conformity assessment pursuant to Article 5, the technical documentation shall contain the following elements:

(a)

For standby and active modes

  • The power consumption data in Watts rounded to the second decimal place including consumption data for the different additional functions and/or components

  • The measurement method used

  • Period of measurement

  • Description of how the appliance mode was selected or programmed

  • Sequence of events to reach the mode where the equipment automatically changes modes

  • Any notes regarding the operation of the equipment

(b)

Test parameters for measurements

  • Ambient temperature

  • Test voltage in V and frequency in Hz

  • Total harmonic distortion of the electricity supply system

  • The fluctuation of the power supply voltage during the tests

  • Information and documentation on the instrumentation, set-up and circuits used for electrical testing

  • Input signals in RF (for digital terrestrial broadcasts) or IF (for satellite broadcasts)

  • Audio/video test signals as described in the MPEG-2 transport stream

  • Adjustment of controls

The power requirements of peripheral devices powered by the STB for broadcast reception, such as active terrestrial antenna, satellite LNB or any cable or telecom modem are not required to be included in the technical documentation.

7.Information to be provided by the manufacturers for the purposes of consumer informationU.K.

Manufacturers shall ensure that consumers of SSTBs are provided with the power consumption in Watts rounded to the first decimal place of standby and active modes of the SSTB.

[F2ANNEX IIU.K. Product compliance verification by market surveillance authorities

Textual Amendments

The verification tolerances defined in this Annex relate only to the verification of the measured parameters by [F3Great Britain] authorities and shall not be used by the manufacturer or importer as an allowed tolerance to establish the values in the technical documentation or in interpreting these values with a view to achieving compliance or to communicate better performance by any means.

Textual Amendments

[F4When verifying the compliance of a product model with the requirements laid down in this Regulation, for the requirements referred to in this Annex the authorities of Great Britain must apply the following procedure—]

Textual Amendments

(1)

The [F3Great Britain] authorities shall verify one single unit of the model.

(2)

The model shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements if:

(a)

the values given in the technical documentation pursuant to [F5paragraph 1(2) of Part 1 of Schedule 1A to the Ecodesign for Energy-Related Products Regulations 2010], and, where applicable, the values used to calculate these values, are not more favourable for the manufacturer or importer than the results of the corresponding measurements carried out pursuant to [F6paragraph 1(2)(b)(vii) of Part 1 of Schedule 1A to those Regulations]; and

(b)

the declared values meet any requirements laid down in this Regulation, and any required product information published by the manufacturer or importer does not contain values that are more favourable for the manufacturer or importer than the declared values; and

(c)

when the [F3Great Britain] authorities test the unit of the model, the determined values (the values of the relevant parameters as measured in testing and the values calculated from these measurements) comply with the respective verification tolerances as given in Table 1.

(3)

If the results referred to in point 2(a) or (b) are not achieved, the model shall be considered not to comply with this Regulation.

(4)

If the result referred to in point 2(c) is not achieved, the [F3Great Britain] authorities shall select three additional units of the same model for testing.

(5)

The model shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements if, for these three units, the arithmetical mean of the determined values complies with the respective verification tolerances given in Table 1.

(6)

If the result referred to in point 5 is not achieved, the model shall be considered not to comply with this Regulation.

(7)

F7...

Textual Amendments

The [F3Great Britain] authorities shall use the measurement and calculation methods set out in Annex I.

The [F3Great Britain] authorities shall only apply the verification tolerances that are set out in Table 1 and shall only use the procedure described in points 1 to [F86] for the requirements referred to in this Annex. No other tolerances, such as those set out in [F9designated] standards or in any other measurement method, shall be applied.

Textual Amendments

Table 1

Verification tolerances

Provisions in Annex I, Points 1 and 2, as applicable Verification tolerances
For power consumption above 1,00 W The determined value shall not exceed the declared value by more than 10 %.
For power consumption less than or equal to 1,00 W The determined value shall not exceed the declared value by more than 0,10 W.]

ANNEX IIIU.K.Benchmarks

The following indicative benchmarks are identified for the [F10purposes of this Regulation]. They refer to the best available technology at the date of adopting this Regulation:

Textual Amendments

  • SSTB without any additional features:

    • Active mode: 4,00 W

    • Standby mode excluding the display function: 0,25 W

    • Off-mode: 0 W

  • SSTB with an integrated hard drive:

    • Active mode: 10,00 W

    • Standby mode excluding the display function: 0,25 W

    • Off-mode 0 W:

The above benchmarks are established on the basis of a SSTB with a basic configuration, an ‘automatic power down’ function and a hard-off switch.
