The values indicated in the attached tables are typical values for a device at full rated  load and 50/60 Hz.

Power loss per pole (P/pole) in Watts (W)
The value indicated is the power loss at In, 50/60 Hz, for a three-pole or four-pole circuit breaker. Measurement and calculation of power loss are carried out in compliance with the recommendations of Annex G of standard IEC 60947-2.

Resistance per pole (R/pole) in milliohms (mΩ)
The value of the resistance per pole is provided as a general indication for a new device. The value of the contact resistance is determined on the basis of the measured voltage drop, in accordance with the manufacturer's test procedure.
Note: this measurement is not sufficient to determine the quality of the contacts, i.e. the capacity of the circuit breaker to carry its rated current.

Calculation of total power loss
Total power loss at full rated load and 50/60 Hz is equal to power losses per pole multiplied by the number of poles (3 or 4).
