Full title and description
Audio, video, and related equipment - Determination of power consumption - Part 2: Signals and media. This part specifies the test signals, media formats and signal-generation requirements used to determine the power consumption (and related peak luminance ratios) of televisions, computer monitors and similar audio/video equipment; it also describes required signal-generation equipment, interfaces and accuracy.
Abstract
IEC 62087-2:2023 (Edition 2.0) provides the set of video and audio test signals and media required when measuring on-mode power consumption and peak luminance characteristics of audio/video products. This 2023 edition is a technical revision of the first edition (2015) and introduces HDR and UHD test signals, dynamic box-and-outline signals (replacing static patterns), and distributes all test signals as downloadable media files from an IEC online repository rather than physical discs.
General information
- Status: Published — International Standard (active).
- Publication date: 17 February 2023.
- Publisher: International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
- ICS / categories: 33.160.10 (Audio, video and audiovisual engineering).
- Edition / version: Edition 2.0 (2023).
- Number of pages: 73.
Scope
Specifies the signals and media used to determine power consumption and related peak luminance measurements for audio, video and related equipment (for example television sets and computer monitors). The part defines test signal content (static, dynamic and broadcast/Internet content sets), peak luminance ratio signals, and requirements for signal-generation equipment, interfaces and accuracy. It also documents that test signals are provided as downloadable media files from a dedicated IEC repository, replacing previous DVD/Blu‑ray distribution. The document cancels and replaces the first edition issued in 2015.
Key topics and requirements
- Definition and specification of video/audio test signals for power-measurement: static, dynamic, broadcast and Internet-content sets.
- Addition of HDR and UHD test signals for modern displays and content.
- Replacement of static box-and-outline patterns with dynamic box-and-outline test signals to better represent real content dynamics.
- Specification of peak luminance ratio signals used in some TV power-measurement programs.
- Requirements for signal-generation equipment, interfaces and measurement accuracy to ensure repeatable, comparable power measurements.
- Provision of all test signals as downloadable media files from an IEC online repository (removes need for physical DVD/Blu-ray media).
Typical use and users
Used by product test laboratories, display and TV manufacturers, regulatory and energy‑label authorities, certification bodies, and R&D teams to generate standardised test signals and media for repeatable measurement of on‑mode power consumption and peak luminance behaviour. It is applied where comparative, reproducible power measurements of audio/video equipment are required.
Related standards
IEC 62087-2 is part of the IEC 62087 series. Key related items include IEC 62087-1 (Part 1: General — general measurement methods and operating mode definitions) and other parts of the series that address device-specific measurement details. The 2023 edition of Part 2 cancels and replaces IEC 62087-2:2015. Regional/adopted versions (EN/UNE/DIN adoptions) exist that harmonize the text for local application.

A: IEC 62087-2:2023 is Part 2 of the IEC 62087 series titled "Audio, video, and related equipment - Determination of power consumption - Part 2: Signals and media"; it defines the signals and media used when measuring power consumption of AV equipment.
Q: What does it cover?
A: It covers the content and format of video/audio test signals (static, dynamic, broadcast and Internet sets), peak luminance test signals, and requirements for signal-generation equipment and interfaces to ensure accurate, repeatable power measurements. It also mandates distribution of test signals as downloadable media files.
Q: Who typically uses it?
A: Manufacturers, accredited test laboratories, certification bodies, regulators and energy‑label programs use this part together with IEC 62087‑1 (general methods) to perform standardized power-consumption testing of televisions, monitors and similar AV products.
Q: Is it current or superseded?
A: It is current (published 17 February 2023) and supersedes the first edition of IEC 62087‑2 published in 2015; the edition is listed as stable through the IEC stability date.
Q: Is it part of a series?
A: Yes — IEC 62087 is a multipart series. Part 1 covers general measurement methods (IEC 62087‑1) and additional parts address specific equipment types and aspects; Part 2 provides the signals and media used with the rest of the series.
