Product information sheet (PIS)
For each smartphone and slate tablet a "Product information sheet" (PIS) must be available.
The purpose of the PIS is to make additional product information about specific energy performance and environmental-related aspects not provided on the energy label available for the consumer.
The PIS for smart phones and tablets must include the details specified in Annex V, table 8.
Your obligations
You must ensure:
- An electronic PIS is made available to the dealers.
- If requested by the dealer, the product information sheet (PIS) must be made available in printed form.
- The values of the parameters of the PIS and the content of the technical documentation are entered into EPREL.
The energy label can be generated automatically when the product model is registered in EPREL
The design and content of a PIS
Below you find a list of parameters in a PIS, including an explanation in the right column.
Product Information Sheet COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2023/1669 with regard to the energy labelling of smartphones and slate tablets | Comments | ||
| This headline is the same for all Product Information Sheets (PIS) for smartphones and slate tablets | |||
1. Trademark
| 2. Model identifier | Both must be identical to the data in the energy label | |
| 3. General product parameters: | Just a headline (should not have an own number) | ||
| Parameter | Value | Headline for the rest of the table (should be bold) | |
| 4. Device type | [smartphone/tablet] | Devices in scope with diagonal size below 7 inches are “smartphones”, above “tablets” | |
| 5. Operating system | [Android/iOS/other] | Devices with operating systems other than Android and iOS are just indicated as “other”; for details you need to consult other data sources | |
| 6. Energy efficiency class | [A/B/C/D/E/F/G] | must be identical to the indication in the energy label | |
| 7. Battery user-replaceable | [yes/no] | Battery can be replaced without special tools or knowledge | |
| 8. Battery endurance per cycle [h] | Duration until device turns off due to low battery, starting from fully charged battery, measurement based on a standardized test; in real life the value can be different | ||
| 9. Battery endurance in cycles - default settings [cycles] | Stands for the number of full charging cycles until only 80% of rated capacity are left; rounded down to full 100 | ||
| 10. Rated battery capacity (Crated [mAh]) | |||
| 11. Shipped with protective cover | [yes/no] | ||
| 12. Repeated free fall reliability test - falls without defect [n] | Number of falls from 1m height without damage to the device | ||
| 13. Repeated free fall reliability test - falls without defect, tested in fully extended state [n] | Not available for non-extendable devices | ||
| 14. Repeated free fall reliability class | [A/B/C/D/E] | must be identical to the data in the energy label; no class E for smartphones | |
| 15. Ingress protection rating | IPxx | The first numeral refers to the protection against solid objects and is rated on a scale from 0 (no protection) to 6 (dust-tight).
The second numeral rates the enclosure’s protection against liquids and uses a scale from 0 (no protection) to 8 (continuous immersion, 1 m or more depth). | |
| 16. Specified immersion depth in water, in case of IPx8 [m] | [x,xx/n.a.] | Only for devices with the highest protection (8) against liquids, else “n.a.” | |
| 17. Screen scratch resistance on Mohs hardness scale | Scale goes up to 10 (in theory), typical values between 4 and 7, the higher the more resistant | ||
| 18. Charger | Required output power [W] | The higher, the faster the device is charged | |
| Receptacle type (at device end) | [USB-A/USB-Micro B/USB-C/other] | ||
| Repairability information: | |||
| 19. Minimum guaranteed availability of operating system security updates, corrective updates and functionality updates (years) | Must be at least 5 years | ||
| 20. Repairability Class (based on the index below) | [A/B/C/D/E] | must be identical to the data in the energy label | |
| 21. Repairability Index | 0,00 to 5,00 | Average of the six scores (21a. to 21f.) below giving 21a. a weight of 25% and all others 15% | |
| 21a. Disassembly Depth (SDD) score | 0,00 to 5,00 | Explaining how many steps are needed to remove a part from the device, weighted average of 10 parts, battery and display assembly being the most important ones | |
| 21b. Fasteners (type) score (SF) | 0,00 to 5,00 | Same weighting as 21a. | |
| 21c. Tools (type) score (ST) | 0,00 to 5,00 | Same weighting as 21a. | |
| 21d. Spare Part score (SSP) | 0,00 to 5,00 | The more parts available to consumers (and not only to professional repairers), the better score | |
| 21e. Software Updates (duration) score (SSU) | 0,00 to 5,00 | Between 5 and 7 years after the last unit of the model is placed on the market (i.e. in reality longer duration than stated for newer models) | |
| 21f. Repair Information score (SRI) | 0,00 to 5,00 | Higher score when no costs are charged for repair information | |
| 22. Weblink to information on spare parts availability for professional repairers and end users | https:// | ||
| 23. Weblink to repair instructions for end-users | https:// | ||
| 24. Weblink to indicative pre-tax prices | https:// | ||
