Apple has also published a fairly extensive document where he details his own test methodology, noting that the methods required by the EU present ambiguities that could lead to different interpretations by independent laboratories.
For example, although Apple states that its current models would obtain a qualification “TO” In energy efficiency, a rating decided to voluntarily “B” As a precautionary measure to avoid controversies such as those that the company has confronted in the past, anticipating possible differences with other laboratories that qualify its products differently.
