Yes, models that do not meet the 80 PLUS^® performance specification during their first evaluation may be modified and resubmitted for testing. Each resubmission is treated as a new application and requires the standard certification fee. We recommend a thorough engineering review to address the specific efficiency or power factor shortfalls identified in the initial test report before beginning a new certification attempt.

The 80 PLUS^® certification program does not specify pass/fail thresholds for Input Total Harmonic Distortion (ITHD). ITHD is measured across various load conditions and reported in the test data set to assess power quality. The testing methodology follows IEC 62301 for general test conditions and standby power measurements, with harmonic measurements, including ITHD, conducted per IEC 61000-4-7 to ensure accurate and consistent harmonic distortion analysis.

We take pride in our rigorous data capture process, ensuring that every aspect of power supply performance is thoroughly monitored. Here’s an overview of how our data collection works, broken down by different measurement types and their corresponding data points:
