grade, TEC (Typical Energy Consumption), and product category presented on the label are determined and calculated according to the standard
1.Energy Efficiency Grades
The grade is determined by the standard with the calculation of base consumption level with the sum of all the allowances for additional components such as main memory and graphics card. For products of any grade, the TEC should not exceed the value specified in the following table:
Product Type |
| TEC (kilowatt hour) |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Grade 1 | Grade 2 | Grade 3 |

|
|
|
|
|
| Category C | 54.5+∑Efa | 75.0+∑Efa | 123.5+∑Efa |
NOTE: ∑Efa is the sum of power factor of product additional functions.
2.Typical Energy Consumption
The energy consumption figure presented on the label is the data measured with the representative configuration that covers all the configurations in the registration unit which is selected according to
3.Product Category
The product category is determined by the standard according to the microcomputer’s configuration. The categorization of products complies with the regulations in the following table:
Product Type | Configuration Description |
|
|
Desktop microcomputer, AIO | Portable Computer |
Category A | The desktop microcomputer and AIO |
| whose configuration is out of the scope of |
| Category B, C, and D |
The portable computer whose configuration is out of the scope of Category B and C
Category B | CPU physical core number of 2, and | A Discrete GPU |
| system memory of not less than 2GB |
|
Category C | CPU physical core number of over 2, with | |
| at least one of the following features: | |
| 1. | System memory of not less than 2 GB |
| 2. | A Discrete GPU |
The product that has a CPU physical core number of not less than 2, system memory of not less than 2GB, A Discrete GPU with Frame Buffer Width not less than
Category D | CPU physical core number of not less than |
| 4, with at least one of the following |
| features: |
