Desktop and notebook computers - Measurement of energy consumption

This International Standard covers personal computing products. It applies to desktop and notebook computers as defined in 4.1 that are marketed as final products and that are hereafter referred to as the equipment under test (EUT) or product. This standard specifies: - a test procedure to enable the measurement of the power and/or energy consumption in each of the EUT's power modes; - formulas for calculating the typical energy consumption (TEC) for a given period (normally annual); - a majority profile that should be used with this standard which enables conversion of average power into energy within the TEC formulas; - a pre-defined format for the presentation of results. This standard does not set any pass/fail criteria for the EUTs. Users of the test results should define such criteria.

Desktop- und Notebook-Computer - Messung des Energieverbrauchs

Ordinateurs de bureau et ordinateurs portables - Mesure de la consommation d'énergie

L'IEC 62623:2022 traite des produits informatiques personnels. Il s'applique aux ordinateurs de bureau et aux ordinateurs portables définis en 4.1, qui sont commercialisés en tant que produits finaux et appelés ci-après matériel à l'essai (EUT, Equipment Under Test) ou produit. Le présent document spécifie: - une procédure d'essai pour mesurer la consommation de puissance et/ou d'énergie dans chacun des modes d'alimentation de l'EUT; - des formules pour calculer la consommation d'énergie type (TEC, Typical Energy Consumption) sur une période donnée (annuellement en général); - le profil majoritaire à utiliser avec le présent document pour convertir la puissance moyenne en énergie dans les formules de TEC; - un format prédéfini pour la présentation des résultats. Le présent document n'établit aucun critère de réussite/d'échec pour les EUT. Ces critères sont définis par les utilisateurs des résultats d'essai. L'IEC 62623:2022 annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2012. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. La première édition de la présente norme a été établie sur la base de l'ECMA-383. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: a) des termes et définitions ont été ajoutés, et les descriptions relatives aux termes attente courte et attente longue ont été modifiées; b) le montage d'essai a été modifié pour les ordinateurs portables dont le bloc de batteries ne peut pas être retiré pour les essais; c) la procédure de classification issue de l'ECMA-389 a été supprimée; d) le profil majoritaire a été remplacé par une nouvelle étude des cycles de service; de nouveaux attributs de cycle de service ont été ajoutés pour les ordinateurs de bureau et les ordinateurs portables destinés à une application domestique et d'entreprise; e) les références à la spécification et à la méthodologie d'essai ENERGY STAR V5 ont été supprimées.

Namizni in prenosni računalniki - Merjenje porabe energije (IEC 62623:2022)

Ta mednarodni standard zajema osebne računalnike. V skladu s točko 4.1 velja za namizne in prenosne računalnike, ki so trženi kot končni izdelki (v nadaljevanju: preskušana oprema ali izdelek).
Ta standard določa:
– preskusni postopek, ki omogoča merjenje moči in/ali porabe energije v vsakem od načinov moči preskušane opreme;
– formule za izračun tipične porabe energije (TEC) za določeno obdobje (običajno letni izračun);
– večinski profil za uporabo s tem standardom, ki omogoča pretvorbo povprečne moči v energijo v okviru formul za izračun tipične porabe energije;
– vnaprej določeno obliko za predstavitev rezultatov.
Ta standard ne določa meril za uspešno/neuspešno opravljen preskus za preskušano opremo. Taka merila morajo določiti uporabniki rezultatov preskušanja.
