Full title and description

St IEC 62087-1-2015 — Audio, video, and related equipment — Determination of power consumption — Part 1: General. This part specifies general requirements and measurement conditions for determining the power consumption of audio, video and related equipment; it defines operating modes relevant to power measurement and establishes the general measurement procedure to be used together with product-specific parts of the IEC 62087 series.

Abstract

IEC 62087-1:2015 is the first-part (general) standard in the IEC 62087 series and provides the foundational definitions, operating-mode descriptions, environmental and electrical test conditions, measurement instruments and uncertainty requirements, and a verification procedure for declared power values. It forms the normative baseline for the companion parts (e.g., set-top boxes, displays, etc.) and replaces Clauses 1–5 of IEC 62087:2011. Key additions in this edition include clarified operation modes, treatment of equipment with removable main batteries, and specifications for light-measuring equipment.

Scope

This part of IEC 62087 specifies the general requirements for determination of power consumption of audio, video and related equipment that can be powered from an external power source. It defines and describes the operating modes relevant to power measurement (on mode, standby modes, off mode, networked standby, etc.), general environmental and input-signal conditions, measurement instrument requirements (power and light measuring devices), and an example verification procedure for checking declared values. The standard is intended to be used together with the product-specific parts of the IEC 62087 series; where a specific part exists it may supersede the general requirements. IEC 62087-1:2015 cancels and replaces the corresponding Clauses of IEC 62087:2011.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions of operating modes and functions used for power-consumption measurement (on, standby, networked standby, off, etc.).
• General measurement conditions: power source, ambient environmental conditions, adjustment of controls, and specified input signals.
• Requirements for power-measuring instruments and measurement uncertainty reporting.
• Specification and use of luminance and illuminance measuring equipment where display brightness or lighting affects power measurement.
• Treatment of equipment incorporating removable main batteries and auxiliary batteries.
• Provision of a verification procedure (informative annex) to assess compliance of a model with declared power values.
• Relationship to and precedence by product-specific parts of IEC 62087 (Parts 2–6).

Typical use and users

IEC 62087-1:2015 is used by test laboratories, manufacturers of audio/video and related consumer and professional equipment, regulatory bodies and energy-efficiency programs to define consistent measurement methods for power consumption. It is consulted when writing product-specific test procedures (the other parts of the series), when verifying declared energy or power values for compliance or marketplace labeling, and by certification bodies that assess energy-related claims.

Related standards

IEC 62087-1 is part of the IEC 62087 series (other parts include IEC 62087-2 to IEC 62087-6 covering specific product categories such as displays and set-top boxes). It is commonly used together with IEC 62301 (measurement of standby power) and IEC 62542 (glossary and environmental standardization) and is the basis for regional/adopted versions (for example EN 62087-1). Users should consult the product-specific parts (e.g., Part 5 for set-top boxes, Part 4 for display devices) for detailed methods applicable to particular equipment classes.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: IEC 62087-1:2015 is the general-part standard in the IEC 62087 series that specifies the general requirements, definitions and measurement procedures for determining the power consumption of audio, video and related equipment. It establishes baseline conditions and instruments to be used with product-specific parts.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers operating-mode definitions (on, standby, off, networked standby, etc.), environmental and power-input conditions for tests, requirements for power and light measuring equipment, measurement uncertainty, and an example verification procedure. It applies to equipment powered from an external source and complements the product-specific parts of IEC 62087.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers, conformity-assessment and testing laboratories, regulators, energy-labeling programs, and standards developers use IEC 62087-1 as the foundational method for measuring and verifying power consumption of AV and related products.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: IEC 62087-1:2015 is the active first edition of Part 1 published on 5 June 2015 and, together with Parts 2–6 published in 2015, replaced and cancelled IEC 62087:2011 (the earlier consolidated standard). Users should check for any later amendments or revisions in national adoption bodies; as published by IEC the 2015 edition is the authoritative text.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — IEC 62087 is a multipart series. Part 1 is the general requirements document and is intended to be used in conjunction with the product-specific parts (for example Parts 2–6) that provide detailed measurement methods for particular equipment categories.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Power consumption measurement, operating modes, standby, networked standby, luminance measurement, verification procedure, audio-video equipment, IEC 62087.
