(EU) 2019/2021 Eco Design Tests for Electronic Displays

Legislation (EU) 2019/2021, published by the European Parliament and Council, describes the eco-design requirements for the introduction and commissioning of electronic displays, including televisions, monitors and digital signage displays.

This legal regulation does not apply to the following:

• Any electronic display with a screen area equal to or less than 100 square centimeters
• projectors
• All-in-one video conferencing systems
• medical images
• Virtual reality headsets
• Images integrated or to be integrated into products listed in the 2012/19/EU directive
• Displays that are components or subgroups of products covered by the implementation measures adopted under the 2009/125/EC directive

In the said regulation, eco design requirements are regulated under the following headings:

• Energy efficiency requirements
  • Energy efficiency index limits for on-mode
• Permissions and adjustments for EEI calculation and functional requirements
  • Electronic displays with automatic brightness control
  • Mandatory and setup menus
  • Peak white luminance ratio
• Off mode, standby, and network standby requirements
  • Power demand limits other than on-mode
  • Availability of off, standby, and networked standby modes
  • Automatic standby on TVs
  • Automatic standby on screens other than TVs
• Material efficiency requirements
  • Design for disassembly, recycling and recovery
  • Marking of plastic components
  • Cadmium logo
  • Halogenated flame retardants
  • Design for repair and reuse

The ecodesign and energy labeling requirements pass test method for electronic displays provides a freely used measurement methodology for electronic display manufacturers and importers to assess compliance with the latest European Union regulations.

One of these legal regulations is the regulation (EU) 2009/125, which came into force in accordance with the 2019/2021/EC directive, which sets the eco-design requirements for electronic displays.

This regulation requires manufacturers to specify energy performance, energy label class, data sheet and other requirements contained herein. The pass test method published with this regulation provides manufacturers with guidance on how to demonstrate or evaluate compliance with these regulatory requirements.

Our organization also provides eco design testing services for (EU) 2019/2021 electronic displays, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it provides for businesses in various sectors.
