Krenuo je sa radom Energy Star labeling program u Evropskoj Uniji, gde svi proizvodjaci smartphone-ova i tableta moraju da odrade standardizovane testove da bi bolje obavestili kupce kakav uredjaj kupuju. Sve je slicno Energy Star stickerima koje odavno imamo na beloj tehnici:
Testovi su standardizovani

Evo regulacije za meni najzanimljivije testove - za oznaku 3 [duzina upotrebe pri jednom punjenju] i oznaku 5 [broj ciklusa punjenja baterije od 0% do 100%, dok se ne dodje do trajnog pada kapaciteta baterije na 80%.]:
CALCULATION OF THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY INDEX
1.2.1. Test sequence for smartphones
From 100 % battery charge level to power off: repeat a cycle of:
— Phone call (4 min);
— Idle (30 min);
— Web browsing (9 min);
— Idle (30 min);
— Video streaming (4 min);
— Gaming (1 min);
— Idle (30 min);
— Data transfer: http upload and download (8 min);
— Idle (30 min);
— Video playback (4 min);
When device powers off: Terminate test.
MEASUREMENT OF THE BATTERY ENDURANCE IN CYCLES
Batteries of smartphones and slate tablets shall be tested for battery endurance in cycles until the battery has, in a fully charged state,
a remaining capacity of at least 80 % of the rated capacity; the battery shall be tested according to the default charging algorithms implemented by the manufacturer.
The resulting number of cycles shall be rounded down to full hundreds as '≥ x00' and stated in ranges as ≥ 800, ≥ 900, ≥ 1 000, ≥ 1 100, ≥ 1 200, ≥ 1 300, ≥ 1 400.
Battery endurance in cycles shall be measured with the following test sequence:
| 1) | one cycle at 0,2 C discharge rate and measure capacity; |
| 2) | cycles 2-499 at 0,5 C discharge rate; |
| 3) | repeat step 1.
To determine the number of cycles beyond 500 cycles, one should then continue with step 4 |
| 4) | 99 cycles at 0,5 C discharge rate |
| 6) | repeat steps 4 and 5 until measured capacity is below 80 %. |
Tests shall be performed with an external power source, which does not limit the power draw of the battery and leaves it to the specified default charging algorithm to regulate the charging rate. |
