Summary

Current List of WiMAX iIOT test cases in MP05 (3A) has been downgraded

WiMAX Forum CWG informed WFDCL on 2nd July 2009 that all the current list of WiMAX iIOT test cases in MP05 (3A) has been downgraded owing to the pending receipts and audit of the test reports. CWG is working with Clearwire to secure requested reports for the MIOT Val TG to review and audit the test reports. Once CWG completes the audit, it will reactivate them.

Implementing Directive 2005/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to ecodesign requirements for televisions (Draft Version)

The information from Official Journal of the European Union as below,

The environmental aspect of televisions that is identified as significant for the purposes of this Regulation is the electricity consumption in the use phase. Annual electricity consumption related to televisions was estimated to be 60 TWh in 2007 in the Community, corresponding to 24 Mt CO2 emissions. If no specific measures are taken to limit this consumption, it is predicted that electricity consumption will increase to 132 TWh in 2020. The preparatory study shows that use phase electricity consumption can be significantly reduced. (Excerpted from point 5 & 6)

Ecodesign Requirements for TV Products:

A. On-mode power consumption Requirements

1. [insert fixed date: One year after entry into force of this regulation]:
The on-mode power consumption of a television with visible screen area A expressed in dm2 shall not exceed the following limits:

2. From 1 April 2012:
The on-mode power consumption of a television with visible screen area A expressed in dm2 shall not exceed the following limits:

B. Standby/Off mode power consumption requirements

1. From 7 January 2010:
(a) Power consumption in "off-mode":
Power consumption of televisions in any off-mode condition shall not exceed 1.00 Watt.

(b) Power consumption in "standby-mode(s)":
The power consumption of televisions in any condition providing only a reactivation function, or providing only a reactivation function and a mere indication of enabled reactivation function, shall not exceed 1.00 Watt.

The power consumption of televisions in any condition providing only information or status display, or providing only a combination of reactivation function and information or status display, shall not exceed 2.00 Watts.

(c) Availability of off-mode and/or standby-mode
Televisions shall have an off-mode and/or standby-mode, and/or another condition which does not exceed the applicable power consumption requirements for off-mode and/or standby-mode when the television is connected to the mains power source.

(d) For television sets which consist of a display, and one or more tuner(s)/receiver(s) and optional additional functions for data storage and/or display such as digital versatile disc (DVD), hard disk drive (HDD) or videocassette recorder (VCR) in one or more separate units, points (a)-(c) apply for the display and the separate unit(s) individually.

2. From [insert fixed date: two years after this regulation has come into force]:
(a) Power consumption in "off-mode":
Power consumption of televisions in any off-mode condition shall not exceed 0.30 Watts, unless the condition in the next paragraph is fulfilled.
For televisions with an easily visible switch, which puts the television in a condition with power consumption not exceeding 0.01 Watts when operated to the off position, the power consumption of any other off-mode condition of the television shall not exceed 0.50 Watts.

(b) Power consumption in "standby-mode(s)":
The power consumption of televisions in any condition providing only a reactivation function, or providing only a reactivation function and a mere indication of enabled reactivation function, shall not exceed 0.50 Watts.
The power consumption of televisions in any condition providing only information or status display, or providing only a combination of reactivation function and information or status display, shall not exceed 1.00 Watt.

(c) Availability of off-mode and/or standby-mode
Televisions shall have an off-mode and/or standby-mode, and/or another condition which does not exceed the applicable power consumption requirements for off-mode and/or standby-mode when the television is connected to the mains power source.

(d) Automatic power-down
Televisions shall provide a function with the following characteristics:
(i) After no more than 4 hours in on mode following the last user interaction and/or a
channel change, the television shall be automatically switched from on mode to:
– standby-mode; or
– off-mode; or
– another condition which does not exceed the applicable power consumption requirements for off-mode and/or standby-mode.

(ii) Televisions shall display an alert message before the automatic switch from on mode to the applicable condition/modes.
This function shall be set as default.

(e) For television sets which consist of a display, and one or more tuner(s)/receiver(s) and optional additional functions for data storage and/or display such as digital versatile disc (DVD), hard disk drive (HDD) or videocassette recorder (VCR) in a separate unit, points (a)-(d) apply for the display and the separate unit individually.
