scope:

This Standard specifies minimum energy performance standards (MEPS) and energy rating label requirements for television sets as defined in AS/NZS 62087.

EXCLUSIONS

This Standard does not apply to the following:

(a) Handheld television sets powered solely from batteries. This includes handheld televisions that have provision for connection to the mains for the sole purpose of charging the batteries. It does not include handheld televisions that have provision for connection to the mains that powers the televisions when the batteries are charging, fully charged or not present.

(b) Television display devices that do not have a television tuner and are not sold in a modular form.

This Standard does not specify electrical safety requirements.

Appliances sold in a modular form are 'television sets' for the purpose of this Standard and are subject to the MEPS and labelling requirements, e.g. display devices and an external tuner.

Displays or monitors that incorporate an inbuilt tuner are 'television sets' for the purposes of this Standard and are subject to the MEPS and labelling requirements.

APPLICATION

This Standard shall be read in conjunction with AS/NZS 62087.1.

Televisions require energy efficiency registration if they are:

(a) Directly connected to 230 V or 240 V.

(b) Connected to 230 V or 240 V via a power supply permanently connected to the television (including a power supply within the television as a component and so the user only sees a 230 V a.c. or 240 V a.c. supply connection).

(c) Connected to 230 V or 240 V via an external power supply that can be disconnected from the television and the television can be operated via the EPS without batteries (i.e. the EPS is not specifically for charging batteries).

Televisions connected via an external power supply that can be disconnected from the television, and that power supply is supplied with the television, shall be tested with the external power supply supplied with the television. All energy measurements shall be taken with the external power supply energy consumption included.
