Common use of Continuing Verification Clause in Contracts

Continuing Verification. This testing procedure describes the method by which a single unit may be tested for compliance. An ongoing testing process is highly recommended to ensure that products from different production runs comply with ENERGY STAR. I. Desktop, Integrated Desktop, Notebook Computers: Below is a sample TEC calculation intended to show how compliance levels are determined based on functional adders and operational mode measurements, for an example ETEC evaluation for a Category A Notebook Computer (integrated GPU, 8 GB Memory Installed, 1 HDD) 1. Measure values using the Appendix A test procedure: – Off = 1 W – Sleep = 1.7 W – Idle = 10 W 2. Determine which Capability Adjustments apply: – Integrated Graphics? Does not apply for Premium Graphics. – 8GB Memory installed. Does meet memory adjustment level: 8 yields a 1.6 kWh adjustment (4 ∙ 0.4kWh). 3. Apply Weightings based on Table 2 to calculate TEC: – Table 2 (for conventional notebook): Toff 60% Tsleep 10% Tidle 30% – ETEC = (8760/1000) ∙ (▇▇▇▇ ∙ Toff + Psleep ∙ Tsleep + Pidle ∙ Tidle) – = (8760/1000) ∙ (▇▇▇▇ ∙ 0.60 + Psleep ∙ 0.10 + Pidle ∙ 0.30) – = (8760/1000) ∙ (1 ∙ 0.60 + 1.7 ∙ 0.10 + 10 ∙ 0.30)
