- Group:
- Large format displays
Criterion text
To be awarded [points/price deductions] in the tender evaluation, large format displays shall meet one of the following:
- Energy star 8.0 or later for electronic displays. Note that version 8.0, or later
or
- At least the energy efficiency class specified in Table 1 in accordance with EU Regulation No. 2019/2013 on energy labelling of electronic monitors.
Table 1. Energy efficiency class according to Regulation (EU) No 2019/2013
| Luminous intensity (nits or cd/m2) | Energy efficiency class according to EU 2019/2013 |
| 350 - 700 | F |
| 700-1000 | G |
Verification
The supplier shall, upon request, be able to present any of for example the following:
- Technical documentation showing that Energy star version 8.0 or later is met, that is Signage displays Pon≤ Pon_MAX+ P ABC
- Energy label in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 2019/2013 (from 1 March 2021) with regard to energy labelling of electronic displays.
- Excerpt from EPREL (European database for energy-labeled products) which proves the product's energy labelling.
Proposed follow-up
Energy star
If the requirement has been verified by Energy star, verify that the delivered products correspond to the energy-efficient large format displays requested in the procurement by checking test reports that verify that the limit values in Energy Star 8.0 for electronic displays have been met. Technical documentation that confirms that Energy Star version 8.0 has been met; that is,
Signage displays Pon≤ Pon_MAX+ PABC
'POn' stands for 'On mode power' and is calculated in Watts. 'ABC' stands for 'Automatic Brightness Control'; that is, the light sensor that adjusts the luminous intensity of the display according to the ambient light.
Energy label
If the requirement has been verified by an energy label check that it is in accordance with the requirement and that the label is in accordance with:
- Regulation 2017/1369 in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 2019/2013 on energy labelling of electronic displays.
Excerpt from EPREL database
If the requirement has been verified with excerpts from the EPREL database (European database for energy-labeled products) verify that the product's energy-labelling is in accordance with the requirement.
Information about the criterion
This criterion is formulated as an award criterion. Tenders fulfilling the criteria are awarded, but the tenders not fulfilling them award criterion are are not excluded from the process further of evaluating tenders.
Select an evaluation model that fits your specific procurement object where this award criterion can be included. Remember to specify the weighting of the award criteria according to your needs and objectives.
Energy labelling
The energy labelling regulation came into force on 1 March 2021 for electronic displays covers both TVs and monitors and can thus be used as a way to show energy-efficient products in relation to the screen brightness according to Table 1. A screen with high brightness often requires more energy than one with lower brightness. However, high brightness contributes to products with longer life. Monitors for digital signage (signage display) are covered by Regulation EU 2019/2013 up to and including 1000cd / m2.
As there is uncertainty in the market at the beginning of the transition to the new energy labelling regarding the availability of products with energy efficiency class higher than G, this requirement is designed as an award criterion that provides adds value if it is met.
Energy star
The requirement is described in Energy star's product requirements, version 8.0 for electronic displays, in which even large displays (pro monitors) with high resolution are included. The requirement in Energy star that shall be followed up is:
Signage displays Pon≤ Pon_MAX+ PABC
'POn' stands for 'On mode power' and is calculated in Watts. 'ABC' stands for 'Automatic Brightness Control'; that is, the light sensor that adjusts the luminous intensity of the display according to the ambient light.
Smaller screens / computer screens are not covered by this requirement, they are covered by the requirement on energy-efficient computer screens, requirement ID 11170, where the requirement applies to energylabelling.
In February 2018, Energy Star ceased to apply as a label within the EU. The product database of Energy Star-approved products no longer exists. Energy star can still be used as a standard to start from but must be verified with other forms of technical documentation. Read more at www.eu-energystar.org.
Environmental goals
Motive
Energy-efficient products reduce the environmental impact from the use phase.
Luminous intensity is a measure of how much light is emitted in a certain direction from a light source, measured in candelas.
A product with high luminous intensity has a longer service life than one with a low luminous intensity. . Luminous intensity impacts the amount of energy used by the product, so a brighter product may have a lower energy-efficiency class.
