While the controversy continues to intensify in the Volkswagen group, the Korean giant Samsung is also accused of concealing the actual energy consumption of its TVs. The goal would have been hidden from Samsung conceal consumption to increase its energy rating and thus seem cleaner than many of its competitors. Samsung is accused by a laboratory funded by the European Union to voluntarily reduce the brightness of its televisions to improve its energy rating labels. Indeed, the laboratory noted that during testing before marketing, televisions showed surprisingly uses less energy than when used “normal” performed by customers. Apparently , technology “ Motion Lightning ” would be concerned and would have allowed the group to drastically decrease the screen brightness only at official tests to decrease the consumption of energy of the whole. But every day, this technology does not lower consumption, and this system seems designed to seem that uses less energy during the tests. But the Korean leader does not hear this ear and refutes “any comparison” with the Volkswagen case. The charges are the laboratory for Samsung unfounded, the Lightning motion is not a special option that will activate only for compliance testing. But at this stage, the European Commission has not given Following this legal case, but ensures studying very closely the springs of these tests. In addition, tests are being challenged and new standards should emerge by June 2016 to avoid any attempt to cheat and avoid a new Volkswagen scandal in Europe! The Commission “intends to verify if this problem has occurred and, if so, on what scale and assess whether the use of such devices leads to a result of compliance when in reality Products are not, “said the spokesman. It will also investigate any similar practices in other sectors. It also proposes, while the regulation on “eco-design” is being revised to clarify that these practices are illegal, added the spokesman. According to a document that AFP was able to consult, the Swedish Energy Agency-which depends on the Ministry of Economics- spotted during a laboratory test TVs that could recognize the film used for the test, and were adjusting “immediately” the brightness to lower power consumption. The agency concluded that this means circumvention should be taken into account by the Commission. According to MarketWatch, a collective of NGOs specialized in the issue of energy consumption, the failure of energy labels cost 10.5 billion euros saving energy to households in 28 Member States. <- share buttons by mashshare.net - version: 2.4.4>
