‘declared values’ means the values provided by the manufacturer, importer or authorised representative in the technical documentation in accordance with point 3.4 of Annex 2, for the verification of conformity by the market surveillance authority8.

The verification tolerances set out in this Annex relate only to the verification by the market surveillance authority of the declared values.

The manufacturer, importer or authorised representative of a product must not use the verification tolerances—

a

to establish the declared values;

b

to interpret the declared values; or

c

to communicate better performance.

For the purposes of the EEI calculation, the declared values of the following technical parameters listed in Table 5 of Annex 6 (technical documentation) must be used—

a

on mode power demand (P_measured );

b

visible screen area.

g

If the electronic display does not support HDR—

i

the following must not be displayed—

aa

the HDR pictogram; and

bb

the energy efficiency class; and

ii

the screen pictogram, indicating screen size and resolution, must be vertically centred in the area below the indication of the energy consumption.
