Will this allowance also be used in the calculation of energy consumption over 1000h?

For displays correctly implementing the ABC function, a 10% allowance can be deducted from the measured power consumption Pmeasured. 

The calculation of the energy consumption over 1000h, as well as the calculation for the EEI, shall be based on the Pmeasured value obtained after the deduction of the 10% allowance, where applicable. This is now explicitly mentioned in an amendment to Regulation (EU) 2019/2020.
