ANNEX I Ecodesign requirements
1. Generic ecodesign requirements
1.1.For the calculation of the energy consumption and other parameters for household tumble driers, the cycle which dries cotton laundry (with an initial moisture content of the load of 60 %) up to a remaining moisture content of the load of 0 % (hereinafter the ‘standard cotton programme’) shall be used. That cycle shall be clearly identifiable on the programme selection device(s) of the household tumble drier or the household tumble drier display, if any, or both, and indicated as ‘standard cotton programme’ or by a uniform symbol or an appropriate combination thereof, and shall be set as the default cycle for household tumble driers equipped with automatic programme selection or any function for automatically selecting a drying programme or maintaining the selection of a programme. If the tumble drier is automatic tumble drier the ‘standard cotton programme’ shall be automatic.
1.2.The booklet of instructions provided by the manufacturer shall provide:
(a)
information about the ‘standard cotton programme’ and shall specify that it is suitable to dry normal wet cotton laundry and that it is the most efficient programme in terms of energy consumption for drying wet cotton laundry;
(b)
the power consumption of the off-mode and the left-on mode;
(c)
indicative information on the programme time and energy consumption for the main drying programmes at both full, and, if applicable, partial load;
2. Specific ecodesign requirements
Household tumble driers shall comply with the following requirements:
2.1.From 1 November 2013:
the energy efficiency index (EEI) shall be less than 85,
for condenser household tumble driers the weighted condensation efficiency shall be not lower than 60 %.
2.2.From 1 November 2015:
for condenser household tumble driers the energy efficiency index (EEI) shall be less than 76,
for condenser household tumble driers, the weighted condensation efficiency shall be not lower than 70 %.
The energy efficiency index (EEI) and the weighted condensation efficiency are calculated in accordance with Annex II.
