This International Standard specifies methods of measurement for the power consumption of
television sets, video recording equipment, Set Top Boxes (STBs), audio equipment and
multi-function equipment for consumer use. Television sets include, but are not limited to,
those with CRT, LCD, PDP or projection technologies.
Moreover the different modes of operation which are relevant for measuring power
consumption are defined.
The methods of measurement are only applicable for equipment which can be connected to
the mains.
The measuring conditions in this standard represent the normal use of the equipment and
may differ from specific conditions, for example as specified in safety standards.
