IEC 62087-3-2023 PDF

Full title and description

Audio, video, and related equipment — Determination of power consumption — Part 3: Television sets. This IEC standard specifies measurement methods, operating modes and reporting requirements for determining the electrical power consumption and related characteristics of consumer television sets (LCD, OLED, projection, LED, etc.).

Abstract

IEC 62087-3:2023 defines procedures to measure power consumption of television sets in defined operating modes (On/On average, Partial On, Off) and includes methods for measuring power factor and peak luminance ratio. It also includes procedures for On-mode measurement while viewing representative static-metadata HDR video content and provides normative requirements for test conditions and reporting. The document replaces the previous edition and aligns TV-specific measurement procedures with the multipart IEC 62087 series.

Scope

This part of IEC 62087 specifies the determination of power consumption and related characteristics of television sets that are designed to be connected to an external power source. It covers measurement conditions, defined operating modes and test procedures for consumer TVs (including CRT, LCD, OLED, projection and other display technologies), and excludes television sets with a non-removable main battery. The standard provides both normative test procedures and annexes for reporting and verification.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of TV-specific operating modes (On/On-average, Partial On, Off) and the associated measurement conditions.
• Procedures for measuring power consumption while displaying representative content, including static-metadata HDR video for On-mode HDR testing.
• Specification of measurement equipment, ambient conditions, input signals and loading to ensure repeatable, comparable results.
• Determination and reporting of power factor and peak luminance ratio as related characteristics.
• Test report requirements and verification guidance (references to Annexes and to IEC 62087-1 verification procedures).

Typical use and users

Manufacturers and test laboratories use IEC 62087-3:2023 to measure and declare the power consumption of television sets for product specifications, regulatory or energy-label compliance, and internal design validation. Regulatory bodies, energy programs, retailers and certification bodies also use the standard to harmonize measurement methods and compare products. Engineers performing energy efficiency testing and R&D teams optimizing display power management will reference this standard.

Related standards

IEC 62087-3 is part of the multipart IEC 62087 series (Part 1: General; Part 2: Signals and media; Part 4: Video recording equipment; Part 5: Set-top boxes; Part 6: Audio equipment; Part 7: Computer monitors, etc.). It supersedes earlier editions of EN/IEC 62087-3 (2015/2016) and is intended to be used alongside IEC 62087-1 (general measurement and verification procedures) and relevant product-specific standards or regional adoptions.
