COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2019/2013
of 11 March 2019
supplementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to energy labelling of electronic displays and repealing Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1062/2010
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 July 2017 setting a framework for energy labelling and repealing Directive 2010/30/EU (1), and in particular Article 11(5) and Article 16 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 empowers the Commission to adopt delegated acts as regards the labelling or re-scaling of the labelling of product groups representing significant potential for saving energy and, where relevant, other resources. |
(2) |
Provisions on the energy labelling of televisions were established by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1062/2010 (2). |
(3) |
The Communication from the Commission COM(2016) 773 final (3) (ecodesign working plan), established by the Commission in application of Article 16(1) of Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (4), sets out the working priorities under the ecodesign and energy labelling framework for the period 2016-2019. The ecodesign working plan identifies the energy-related product groups to be considered as priorities for the undertaking of preparatory studies and eventual adoption of implementing measure, as well as the review of Commission Regulation (EC) No 642/2009 (5) and of Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1062/2010. |
(4) |
Measures from the ecodesign working plan have an estimated potential to deliver in total in excess of 260 TWh of annual final energy savings in 2030, which is equivalent to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 100 million tonnes per year in 2030. Electronic displays are one of the product groups listed in the working plan. |
(5) |
Televisions are among the product groups mentioned in Article 11(5)(b) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 for which the Commission should adopt a delegated act introducing an A to G rescaled label. |
(6) |
Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1062/2010 required the Commission to review the regulation in light of technological progress. |
(7) |
The Commission has reviewed Regulation (EU) No 1062/2010 as required by its Article 7 and analysed technical, environmental and economic aspects of televisions and other electronic displays, including monitors and signage displays as well as the real-life user understanding and behaviour in respect to different labelling elements. The review was carried out in close cooperation with stakeholders and interested parties from the Union and third countries. The results of the review were made public and presented to the Consultation Forum established by Article 14 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1369. |
(8) |
It appears from the review that the same requirements for televisions should also apply to monitors because of the rapidly increasing functionality overlap between displays and televisions. Moreover, digital signage displays are specifically listed in the Commission's 2016-2019 ecodesign working plan to be taken up in the revision of the existing regulations for televisions. The scope of this Regulation should thus comprise electronic displays including televisions, monitors and digital signage displays. |
(9) |
The annual energy consumption in 2016 of televisions in the Union constituted more than 3 % of the Union's electricity consumption. The projected energy consumption of televisions, monitors and digital signage displays, in a business as usual scenario, is expected be close to 100 TWh/yr in 2030. This Regulation, together with the accompanying ecodesign regulation, is estimated to reduce the annual final energy consumption up to 39 TWh/yr by 2030. |
(10) |
The high dynamic range (HDR) encoding function may lead to a different energy use, suggesting a separate energy efficiency indication for such a function. |
(11) |
The information provided on the label for the electronic displays in the scope of this Regulation should be obtained through reliable, accurate and repeatable measurement procedures, which take into account the recognised state of the art measurement methods including, where available, harmonised standards adopted by the European standardisation organisations, as listed in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6). |
(12) |
Recognising the growth of sales of energy-related products through internet hosting platforms, rather than directly from suppliers' or dealers' websites, it should be clarified that internet sales platforms should be responsible for enabling the displaying of the label provided by the supplier in proximity to the price. They should inform the dealer of that obligation, but should not be responsible for the accuracy or content of the label and the product information sheet provided. However, in application of Article 14(1)(b) of Directive 2000/31/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (7) on electronic commerce, such internet hosting platforms should act expeditiously to remove or to disable access to information about the product in question if they are aware of the non-compliance (e.g. missing, incomplete or incorrect label or product information sheet) for example if informed by the market surveillance authority. A supplier selling directly to end-users via its own website is covered by dealers' distance selling obligations referred to in Article 5 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1369. |
(13) |
Electronic displays that are displayed at trade fairs should bear the energy label if the first unit of the model has already been placed on the market or is placed on the market at the trade fair. |
(14) |
To improve the effectiveness of this Regulation, products that automatically alter their performance in test conditions to improve the declared parameters should be prohibited. |
(15) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation were discussed by the Consultation Forum and the Member States' experts in accordance with Article 14 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1369. |
(16) |
Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1062/2010 should be repealed, |

ANNEX IV
Measurement methods and calculations
For the purposes of compliance and verification of compliance with the requirements of this Regulation, measurements and calculations shall be made using harmonised standards, the reference numbers of which have been published in the Official Journal of the European Union or using other reliable, accurate and reproducible methods which take into account the generally recognised state-of-the-art. They shall be in line with the provisions set out in this Annex.
Measurements and calculations shall meet the technical definitions, conditions, equations and parameters set out in this Annex. Electronic displays which can operate in both 2D and 3D modes shall be tested when they operate in 2D mode.
An electronic display which is split into two or more physically separate units, but placed on the market in a single package, shall, for checking the conformity with the requirements of this Annex, be treated as a single electronic display. Where multiple electronic displays that can be placed on the market separately are combined in a single system, the individual electronic displays shall be treated as single displays.
1. MEASUREMENTS OF ON MODE POWER DEMAND
Measurements of the on mode power demand shall fulfil all of the following general conditions:
(a) |
electronic displays shall be measured in the normal configuration; |
(b) |
measurements shall be made at an ambient temperature of 23 °C +/- 5 °C; |
(c) |
measurements shall be made using a dynamic broadcast video signal test loops representing typical broadcast content for electronic displays in standard dynamic range (SDR). For the HDR measurement the electronic display must automatically and correctly respond to the HDR metadata in the test loop. The measurement shall be the average power consumed over 10 consecutive minutes; |
(d) |
measurements shall be made after the electronic display has been in the off-mode or, if an off-mode is not available, in standby mode for a minimum of 1 hour immediately followed by a minimum of 1 hour in the on mode and shall be completed before a maximum of 3 hours in on-mode. The relevant video signal shall be displayed during the entire on mode duration. For electronic displays that are known to stabilise within 1 hour, these durations may be reduced if the resulting measurement can be shown to be within 2 % of the results that would otherwise be achieved using the durations described here; |
(e) |
where ABC is available, measurements shall be made with it switched off. If ABC cannot be switched off, then the measurements shall be performed in an ambient light condition of 100 lux measured at the ABC sensor. |
2. MEASUREMENTS OF PEAK WHITE LUMINANCE
Measurements of the peak white luminance shall be made:
(a) |
with a luminance meter, detecting that portion of the screen exhibiting a full (100 %) white image, which is part of a ‘full screen test’ pattern not exceeding the average picture level (APL) point where any power limiting or other irregularity occurs; |
(b) |
without disturbing the luminance meter’s detection point on the electronic display whilst switching between the normal configuration and the brightest on mode configuration. |

ANNEX IX
Verification procedure for market surveillance purposes
The verification tolerances set out in this Annex relate only to the verification of the measured parameters by Member State authorities and shall not be used by the supplier as an allowed tolerance to establish the values in the technical documentation. The values and classes on the label or in the product information sheet shall not be more favourable for the supplier than the values reported in the technical documentation.
Where a model has been designed to be able to detect it is being tested (e.g. by recognizing the test conditions or test cycle) and to react specifically by automatically altering its performance during the test with the objective of reaching a more favourable level for any of the parameters specified in this Regulation or included in the technical documentation or included in any of the documentation provided, the model and all equivalent models shall be considered not compliant.
When verifying the compliance of a product model with the requirements laid down in this Regulation, the authorities of the Member States shall apply the following procedure:
(1) |
The Member State authorities shall verify one single unit of the model. |
(2) |
The model shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements if:
|
(3) |
If the results referred to in points 2(a) or (b) are not achieved, the model and all equivalent models shall be considered not to comply with this Regulation. |
(4) |
If the result referred to in point 2(c) is not achieved, the Member State authorities shall select three additional units of the same model for testing. As an alternative, the three additional units selected may be one or more equivalent models. |
(5) |
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 tolerances given in Table 6. |
(6) |
If the result referred to in point 5 is not achieved, the model and all equivalent models shall be considered not to comply with this Regulation. |
(7) |
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 according to points 3 and 6. |
The Member State authorities shall use the measurement and calculation methods set out in Annex IV.
The Member State authorities shall only apply the verification tolerances that are set out in Table 6 and shall only use the procedure described in points 1 to 7 for the requirements referred to in this Annex. No other tolerances, such as those set out in harmonised standards or in any other measurement method shall be applied.
