ANNEX I U.K. ECODESIGN REQUIREMENTS

1. NO-LOAD POWER CONSUMPTION AND AVERAGE ACTIVE EFFICIENCY U.K.

(a) One year after this Regulation has come into force: U.K.

The no-load condition power consumption shall not exceed 0,50 W.

The average active efficiency shall be not less than:

• 0,500 · P_O, for P_O < 1,0 W;

• 0,090 · ln(P_O) + 0,500, for 1,0 W ≤ P_O ≤ 51,0 W;

• 0,850, for P_O > 51,0 W.

(b) Two years after this Regulation has come into force: U.K.

• The no-load condition power consumption shall not exceed the following limits:

  	AC-AC external power supplies, except low voltage external power supplies	AC-DC external power supplies except low voltage external power supplies	Low voltage external power supplies
  PO ≤ 51,0 W	0,5 W	0,3 W	0,3 W
  PO > 51,0 W	0,5 W	0,5 W	n/a

• The average active efficiency shall be not less than the following limits:

  	AC-AC and AC-DC external power supplies, except low voltage external power supplies	Low voltage external power supplies
  PO ≤ 1,0 W	0,480 · PO + 0,140	0,497 · PO + 0,067
  1,0 W < PO ≤ 51,0 W	0,063 · ln(PO) + 0,622	0,075 · ln(PO) + 0,561
  PO > 51,0 W	0,87	0,86

2. MEASUREMENTS U.K.

The no-load condition power consumption and the average active efficiency referred to in point 1 shall be established by a reliable, accurate and reproducible measurement procedure, which takes into account the generally recognised state of the art.
