The model shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements if, when the Member State authorities check the unit of the model, it complies with the requirements on resource efficiency in Annex II, points D and E.

The requirements of Annex II, D.4. shall be deemed to be complied with if:

— The determined value for HFRs identified in Directive 2011/65/EU does not exceed the relevant maximum concentration values defined in Annex II of Directive 2011/65/EU; and

— For other HFRs, the determined value for any homogenous material does not exceed 0,1 % by weight of halogen content. Where the determined value for any homogenous material exceeds 0,1 % by weight of halogen content, the model may still be considered compliant where documentary checks or any other appropriate, reproducible methods show that the halogen content is not attributable to flame retardant.

2. Procedure if requirements are not achieved

If the results referred to in point 1(c) and 1(d) related to requirements not involving measured values are not achieved, the model and all equivalent models shall be considered not to comply.

If the results referred to in point 1(c) and 1(d) related to requirements involving measured values are not achieved, the Member State authorities shall select three additional units of the same model or equivalent models for testing. 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 3. Otherwise the model and all equivalent models shall be considered not to comply.

The Member State authorities shall provide all relevant information to the authorities of the other Member States and to the Commission without delay after a decision being taken on the non-compliance of the model.

The Member State authorities shall use the measurement and calculation methods set out in Annex III and only use the procedure described in points 1 and 2 for the requirements referred to in this Annex.

3. Verification tolerances

The Member State authorities shall only apply the verification tolerances that are set out in Table 3. No other tolerances, such as those set out in harmonised standards or in any other measurement method, shall be applied.

The verification tolerances defined in this Annex relate only to the verification of the measured parameters by the 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.

Parameter Verification tolerances
On mode power demand, (Pmeasured, Watts) excluding allowances and adjustments in Annex II, point B, for the purposes of EEI calculation set out in Annex II, point A. The determined value (*1) shall not exceed the declared value by more than 7 %
Off mode, standby mode and networked standby mode power demand (Watts), as applicable The determined value (*1) shall not exceed the declared value by more than 0,10 Watt if the declared value is 1,00 W or less, or by more than 10 % if the declared value is more than 1,00 W
Peak white luminance ratio Where applicable, the determined value shall not be lower than 60 % of the peak white luminance of the brightest on mode configuration provided by the electronic display
Peak white luminance (cd/m2) The determined value (*1) shall not be lower than the declared value by more than 8 %
Visible screen diagonal in centimetres The determined value (*1) shall not be lower than the declared value by more than 1 cm
Screen area in dm2 The determined value (*1) shall not be lower than the declared value by more than 0,1 dm2
Timed functions as set out in Annex II, points C.3 and C.4 The switch shall be completed within 5 seconds of the set out values
Weight of plastic components as qualified in Annex II, point D.2 The determined value (*1) shall not be different from the declared value by more than 5 grams
(*1) In the case of three additional units tested as prescribed in Annex IV point 2(a), the determined value means the arithmetic mean of the values determined for these three additional units.

ANNEX V

The best available technology on the market, at the time of entry into force of this Regulation, for the environmental aspects that were considered significant and are quantifiable is indicated below.

The following indicative benchmarks are identified for the purpose of part 3, point 2 of Annex I to Directive 2009/125/EC. They refer to the best available technology at the time of drafting this Regulation for electronic displays on the market.
