Frequently Asked Questions
MT 62623 is a Technical Committee within the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). It is named "TC 100/TA 19/MT 62623". This committee has published 2 standards.
MT 62623 develops IEC standards in the area of Information technology. Currently, there are 2 published standards from this technical committee.
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is the world's leading organization for the preparation and publication of international standards for electrical, electronic, and related technologies. Founded in 1906, the IEC provides a global platform for companies, industries, and governments to meet, discuss, and develop the international standards they require.
A Technical Committee (TC) in IEC is a group of experts responsible for developing international standards in a specific technical area. TCs are composed of national member body delegates and work through consensus to create standards that meet global industry needs. Each TC may have subcommittees (SCs) and working groups (WGs) for specialized topics.
IEC 62623:2022 covers personal computing products. It applies to desktop and notebook computers as defined in 4.1 that are marketed as final products and that are hereafter referred to as the equipment under test (EUT) or product. This document specifies:
- a test procedure to enable the measurement of the power and/or energy consumption in each of the EUT's power modes;
- formulas for calculating the typical energy consumption (TEC) for a given period (normally annual);
- a majority profile to be used with this document which enables conversion of average power into energy within the TEC formulas;
- a pre-defined format for the presentation of results.
This document does not set any pass/fail criteria for the EUTs. Users of the test results define such criteria. IEC 62623:2022 cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2012. This edition constitutes a technical revision. The first edition of this standard was originally based on ECMA-383. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) Additions to terms & definitions and modification to short & long idle descriptions.
b) Test setup modifications for notebooks where battery pack cannot be removed for testing.
c) Categorisation procedure based on ECMA-389 removed.
d) Replace majority profile with new duty cycle study including new duty cycle attributes for desktop and notebook in a residential and enterprise application.
e) Removal of any reference and test methodology to ENERGY STAR V5.

- a test procedure to enable the measurement of the power and/or energy consumption in each of the EUT's power modes;
- formulas for calculating the typical energy consumption (TEC) for a given period (normally annual);
- a majority profile that should be used with this standard which enables conversion of average power into energy within the TEC formulas;
- a system of categorisation enabling like for like comparisons of energy consumption between EUTs and a pre-defined format for the presentation of results.
This standard does not set any pass/fail criteria for the EUTs. Users of the test results should define such criteria. Keywords: Power consumption, Desktop computer, Notebook computer
