Appendix H to Subpart B of Part 430—Uniform Test Method for Measuring the Power Consumption of Television Sets

On or after April 14, 2023 and prior to September 11, 2023, any representations made with respect to the energy use or energy efficiency of a television must be based upon results generated under this appendix as it appeared in 10 CFR part 430 edition revised as of January 1, 2023, or this appendix. Beginning September 11, 2023 any representations made with respect to the energy use or efficiency of a television must be based upon results generated under this appendix. Given that beginning September 11, 2023, representations with respect to the energy use or efficiency of televisions must be made in accordance with tests conducted pursuant to this appendix, manufacturers may wish to begin using this test procedure as soon as possible. DOE incorporated by reference in § 430.3, ANSI/CTA-2037-D in its entirety. However, only enumerated provisions of ANSI/CTA-2037-D are applicable to this appendix, as follows: (a) Section 5 as referenced in section 2 of this appendix; (b) Sections 6 and 8 through 11 as referenced in section 3 of this appendix; (c) Section 7 as referenced in sections 3 and 4 of this appendix; and (d) Annex A as referenced in section 4 of this appendix. This appendix covers the test requirements used to measure the energy and power consumption of television sets that have a diagonal screen size of at least fifteen inches; and are powered by mains power (including TVs with auxiliary batteries but not TVs with main batteries). 2.1. Definitions. The following terms are defined according to section 5.1 of ANSI/CTA-2037-D. 2.2. Symbol usage. The symbols and abbreviations in section 5.2 of ANSI/CTA-2037-D apply to this test procedure. Determine the dynamic luminance and on mode and standby mode power consumption of TVs by following the procedure specified in sections 6 through 11 of ANSI/CTA-2037-D. Calculate the on mode power consumption, dynamic luminance, standby mode power consumption, and annual energy consumption as specified in Annex A of ANSI/CTA-2037-D. The following additional requirements are also applicable. 4.1. Round on mode power value as specified in Annex A of ANSI/CTA-2037-D. 4.2. Round dynamic luminance to the nearest tenth. 4.3. Round standby mode power as specified in section 7.1.2 of ANSI/CTA-2037-D. 4.4. Round annual energy consumption as specified in Annex A of ANSI/CTA-2037-D.
