Overview

EN 62087-4:2016 (IEC 62087-4:2015) defines standardized methods to measure the power consumption of video recording equipment with removable media. This part of the IEC 62087 series updates and replaces Clause 7 of IEC 62087:2011 and extends the test scope to devices such as DVD and Blu‑ray (BD) recorders and recorders using removable solid‑state memory. The procedures apply only to mains‑powered consumer video recorders and are intended to reflect normal use conditions for accurate energy measurements.

Key topics

• Measurement scope and purpose
  • Methods for determining power consumption of video recording and playback devices with removable media.
  • Definitions of relevant terms (e.g., removable media, buffering, time‑shifting, hard disk drive).
• Operating modes and functions
  • Identification of modes relevant to power testing (On, Standby variants, auto power‑down behaviour and additional functions).
  • Treatment of devices with playback‑only or recording capabilities.
• Measurement conditions and setup
  • Specification of input signals and types: RF, broadband input and conditions for analogue, cable, digital terrestrial and satellite terminals.
  • Environmental and stabilization requirements to ensure repeatable measurements.
  • Test setup procedures and power measurement points.
• Special features
  • Handling of buffering/time‑shifting functions and multituner configurations.
  • Procedures to measure and account for auto power‑down and other power-management behaviors.

Applications

EN 62087-4:2016 is practical for:

• Manufacturers designing or optimizing video recorders (DVD/BD recorders, removable memory recorders) to meet energy targets.
• Test laboratories performing repeatable, comparable power measurements for product datasheets or certification.
• Regulatory bodies and energy program managers assessing compliance with energy labeling or eco‑design requirements.
• Procurement and sustainability teams evaluating product energy performance for purchasing or lifecycle assessments.
• R&D and QA teams validating firmware features (auto power down, buffering/time‑shift) that affect energy use.

Benefits include consistent test methodology, better comparability of published power figures, and support for product energy optimization and regulatory compliance.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 62087-4 has been prepared by technical area 12: AV energy
efficiency and smart grid applications, of IEC technical committee 100: Audio, video and
multimedia systems and equipment.
This first edition of IEC 62087-4 cancels and replaces Clause 7 of IEC 62087:2011. This
standard together with IEC 62087-1 to IEC 62087-3 and IEC 62087-5 to IEC 62087-6 cancels
and replaces IEC 62087:2011. This International Standard constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes significant technical changes with respect to Clause 7 of
IEC 62087:2011. The changes include fundamental and extensive revisions to cover video
recorders such as DVD and BD types as well as recorders with removable solid state memory.
Clause 7 has been revised in its entirety.

modes which are defined in IEC 62542:2013.
This standard has been divided into multiple parts. At the time of publication of this part, the
following parts are planned or published:
– Part 1: General
– Part 2: Signals and media
– Part 3: Television sets
