This part of IEC 62087 specifies the general requirements for the determination of power consumption of audio, video, and related equipment. Requirements for specific types of equipment are specified in additional parts of this series of standards and may supersede the requirements specified in this standard.

Moreover, this part of IEC 62087 defines the different modes of operation which are relevant for determining power consumption.

This standard is only applicable for equipment which can be powered by an external power source. Equipment that includes a non-removable main battery is not covered by this standard. Equipment may include any number of auxiliary batteries.

In order to assess compliance of a specific model of equipment with the declared value, an example verification procedure is provided.

The measuring conditions in this standard represent the normal use of the equipment and may differ from specific conditions, for example as specified in safety standards.
