The “omnibus” amendment has clarified the verification procedure by explicitly mentioning that the values included in the technical documentation required under Regulation (EU) 2019/2013 shall be declared values. For a display model to be considered compliant with the requirements in the Energy Labelling Regulation, the declared values shall be within the applicable tolerances of the values obtained by market surveillance authorities when physically testing the model. For the peak white luminance of the normal configuration and the peak white luminance of the brightest on mode configuration the determined value shall not be lower than the declared value by more than 8 %. The peak white luminance ratio is calculated from the two declared values and is implicitly verified if the two declared values used for its calculation are verified. Where applicable, the peak white luminance ratio shall then comply with the minimum requirement of 65% of the Ecodesign Regulation. This is now clarified by an amendment to Regulation (EU)2019/2020.
