For equipment sold in multiple international markets and therefore rated at multiple input voltages, the manufacturer must test at and report all relevant voltages and power consumption levels. For example, a manufacturer that ships the same printer model to the United States and Europe must measure and report the TEC or OM values at both 115 volts/60 Hz and 230 volts/50 Hz. If a product is designed to operate at a voltage/frequency combination in a specific market that is different from the voltage/frequency combination for that market (e.g. 230 volts, 60 Hz in North America), the manufacturer should test the product at the regional combination that most closely matches the product’s design capabilities and note this fact on the test reporting sheet.\n(Reference IEC 62301: Household electrical appliances — Measurement of standby power, Sections 3.2, 3.3)\nSupply voltage:\nNorth America/Taiwan:\n115 (± 1 %) volts AC, 60 Hz (± 1 %)\nEurope/Australia/New Zealand:\n230 (± 1 %) volts AC, 50 Hz (± 1 %)\nJapan:\n100 (± 1 %) volts AC, 50 Hz (± 1 %)/60 Hz (± 1 %)\nNote: For products rated for > 1,5 kW maximum power, the voltage range is ± 4 %\nTotal harmonic distortion (THD) (voltage):\n< 2 % THD (< 5 % for products rated for > 1,5 kW maximum power)\nAmbient temperature:\n23 °C ± 5 °C\nRelative humidity:\n10 – 80 %\nPaper specifications:\nFor all TEC tests and for OM tests that require the use of paper, the paper size and basis weight must be appropriate to the intended market, per the following table.\nPaper size and weight\nMarket\nSize\nBasis weight\nNorth America/Taiwan:\n8,5″ × 11″\n75 g/m2\nEurope/Australia/New Zealand:\nA4\n80 g/m2\nJapan:\nA4\n64 g/m2",
