1. Scope of Application

Quoting from Section 1 (Scope of Application) of TCVN 11848:2021, the standard specifies: “This standard stipulates the energy efficiency level and the method for determining energy consumption for notebook computers, two-in-one notebook computers, all-in-one notebook computers, tablet computers, mobile workstations, which are collectively referred to as notebook computers in this standard.”

A Notebook Computer is a computer specifically designed for portability, capable of operating for extended periods both with and without being directly connected to a mains power source. A Notebook Computer utilizes an integrated screen and is able to run on a built-in battery. Furthermore, most Notebook Computers are powered using an External Power Supply (EPS) or an AC adapter and feature an integrated keyboard and pointing device.

Notebook Computers are typically designed to offer functionality comparable to that of desktop computers, which includes running software that performs functions similar to the applications used on standard desktop systems.

Within this standard, docking stations are treated as accessories and are therefore not considered part of the Equipment Under Test (EUT). Tablet computers, which utilize a touchscreen either alongside or in place of other input devices, are classified as Notebook Computers for the purposes of this standard. Additionally, small-form-factor notebook computers, typically characterized by a smaller (limited) screen size and less base memory, also fall under the definition of Notebook Computers within this standard.

2. Energy Efficiency Requirements in the Energy Efficiency Test Report for Laptops/Notebook Computers

In accordance with TCVN 11848:2021, the Energy Efficiency Test Report for Laptops/Notebook Computers must prove that the products meet functional requirements, including: System Sleep Mode Activation Time, Display Sleep Mode Activation Time, and the Typical Energy Consumption (TEC) level (Minimum Energy Performance Standard – MEPS). These criteria will be presented in the energy efficiency test results for notebook computers; see the attached file below for details:

After receiving the Energy Efficiency Test Report for the Laptop/Notebook Computers, the enterprise will submit the report together with the energy labeling registration file to the Ministry of Industry and Trade to carry out the energy label declaration. After completing the declaration procedures, the enterprise is authorized to affix the energy label in conformity with the information stated in the Declaration of Energy Labeling.

The Energy Efficiency Test Report for Laptops/Notebook Computers represents the foundational pillar upon which the entire energy labeling process is built. Its importance cannot be overstated, as it serves as the definitive, verifiable evidence that a product complies with Vietnam’s stringent energy consumption regulations. The integrity of this entire process hinges on the accuracy and reliability of the data presented in the report, which is why partnering with a competent and officially designated Testing laboratory is a critical business decision.

An exemplary Conformity Assessment Body like Phuc Gia® will ensure that all evaluations are conducted with the highest degree of precision. The testing protocol strictly follows the national standard TCVN 11848:2021, a comprehensive framework that standardizes the measurement of Energy Efficiency for devices, including the Notebook Computer, two-in-one notebooks, tablets, and even the high-performance Mobile Workstation. This standard guarantees that every Energy Efficiency Test Report for Laptops/Notebook Computers is consistent and reliable.

The report meticulously details crucial metrics, such as the activation times for System and Display Sleep Modes and, most importantly, the Typical Energy Consumption (TEC) value. This TEC figure is essential for confirming that the device meets or exceeds the Minimum Energy Performance Standard (MEPS). Submitting a flawless and credible report from a designated laboratory like Phuc Gia® not only expedites the Energy labeling registration with the Regulatory Authority but also acts as a testament to a company’s commitment to quality and environmental stewardship. Ultimately, a compliant Energy Efficiency Test Report for Laptops/Notebook Computers is the key that unlocks market access, builds consumer trust, and aligns the enterprise with the goals of the Vietnam – National Energy Efficiency Program.
