When a unit comes within 0.5% of the next higher badge level on any loading parameter, the test of that unit is completed, and a second unit is tested at the failed point. Should the second unit pass the next level, the second unit is thoroughly tested, and that data is used for the 80 PLUS® report. If the second unit fails to meet the higher level, then the first unit's data is used to create the 80 PLUS® report.
