Power consumption testing for smartphone energy labeling

Mobile phones and tablets placed on the EU market will require an Energy Efficiency Index (EEI) labeling from June 20th, 2025 onwards to display information on their energy efficiency, battery longevity and more. Rohde & Schwarz and SmartViser have partnered to develop a solution for testing compliance with the new regulation. The solution is based on the R&S CMX500 radio communication tester that supports end-to-end testing of all signaling use cases and SmartViser’s viSer test automation application.
