  "text": "For the purposes of conformity assessment pursuant to Article 4, the technical documentation shall contain the following elements:\n(a) for each standby and/or off mode:\nthe power consumption data in Watt rounded to the first decimal place,\nthe measurement method used,\na description of how the equipment mode was selected or programmed,\nthe sequence of events leading to the condition where the equipment automatically changes modes,\nany notes regarding the operation of the equipment, e.g. information on how the user switches the equipment into a condition having networked standby,\nif applicable, the default time after which the power management function, or similar function, has switched the equipment into the applicable low power mode or condition;\n(b) for networked equipment:\nthe number and type of network ports and, with the exception of wireless network ports, where these ports are located on the equipment; in particular it shall be declared if the same physical network port accommodates two or more types of network ports,\nwhether all network ports are deactivated before delivery,\nwhether the equipment qualifies as HiNA equipment or equipment with HiNa functionality; where no information is provided, this is considered not to be the case;\nand for each type of network port:\nthe default time after which the power management function, or a similar function, switches the equipment into a condition providing networked standby,\nthe trigger that is used to reactivate the equipment,\nthe (maximum) performance specifications,\nthe (maximum) power consumption of the equipment in a condition providing networked standby into which the power management function, or a similar function, will switch the equipment, if only this port is used for remote activation,\nthe communication protocol used by the equipment;\nIf no information is provided, the equipment is considered not to be networked equipment unless it provides the functionalities of a router, network switch, wireless network access point (not being a terminal), hub, modem, VoIP telephone, video phone.\n(c) test parameters for measurements:\nambient temperature,\ntest voltage in V and frequency in Hz,\ntotal harmonic distortion of the electricity supply system,\ninformation and documentation on the instrumentation, set-up and circuits used for electrical testing;\n(d) the equipment characteristics relevant for assessing conformity with the requirements set out in point 1(c), or the requirements set out in points 2(c) and/or 2(d) and/or 3(b), as applicable, including the time taken to automatically reach standby, or off mode, or another condition which does not exceed the applicable power consumption requirements for off mode and/or standby mode.\nIn particular, if applicable, a technical justification shall be provided that the requirements set out in point 1(c), or the requirements set out in points 2(c) and/or 2(d) and/or 3(b), are inappropriate for the intended use of equipment. The need to maintain one or more network connections or to wait for a remotely initiated trigger is not considered a technical justification for exemption from the requirements set out in 2(d) in the case of equipment that is not defined as networked equipment by the manufacturer.",
