For the purposes of compliance and verification of compliance with the requirements of this Regulation, measurements and calculations shall be made using harmonised standards the reference numbers of which have been published for this purpose in the Official Journal of the European Union, or other reliable, accurate and reproducible methods, which takes into account the generally recognised state-of-the-art, and in line with the following provisions.
The eco 40-60 programme shall be used for the measurement and calculation of the energy consumption, Energy Efficiency Index (EEIW), maximum temperature, water consumption, remaining moisture content, programme duration, washing efficiency, rinsing effectiveness, spin-drying efficiency and airborne acoustical noise emissions in the spinning phase for household washing machines and the washing cycle of household washer-dryers. The energy consumption, maximum temperature, water consumption, remaining moisture content, programme duration, washing efficiency and rinsing effectiveness shall be measured concurrently.
The wash and dry cycle shall be used for the measurement and calculation of the energy consumption, Energy Efficiency Index (EEIWD), maximum temperature in the washing phase, water consumption, final moisture content, cycle duration, washing efficiency and rinsing effectiveness for household washer-dryers. The energy consumption, maximum temperature, water consumption, final moisture content, cycle duration, washing efficiency and rinsing effectiveness shall be measured concurrently.
When measuring the parameters of this annex for the eco 40-60 programme and for the wash and dry cycle, the highest spin speed option for the eco 40-60 programme shall be used at rated capacity, at half of the rated capacity and, where relevant, at a quarter of the rated capacity.
For household washing machines with a rated capacity lower than or equal to 3 kg and for household washer-dryers with a rated washing capacity lower than or equal to 3 kg, the parameters for the eco 40-60 programme and for the wash and dry cycle shall be measured at rated capacity only.
The duration of the eco 40-60 programme (tW) at rated washing capacity, at half of the rated washing capacity and at a quarter of the rated washing capacity, and the duration of the wash and dry cycle (tWD) at rated capacity and at half of the rated capacity, are expressed in hours and minutes and rounded to the nearest minute.
Airborne acoustical noise emissions are measured in dB(A) with respect to 1 pW and rounded to the nearest integer.
The rated capacity of household washer-dryers shall be measured, using the wash and dry cycle.
If the household washer-dryer provides a continuous cycle, the rated capacity of the wash and dry cycle shall be the rated capacity for this cycle.
If the household washer-dryer does not provide a continuous cycle, the rated capacity of the wash and dry cycle shall be the lower value of the rated washing capacity of the eco 40-60 programme and the rated drying capacity of the drying cycle achieving cupboard dry status.
For the calculation of the EEIW, the weighted energy consumption of the eco 40-60 programme at the rated washing capacity, half of the rated washing capacity and a quarter of the rated washing capacity is compared to its standard energy consumption.
The EEIW is calculated as follows, and is rounded to one decimal place:
EEIW = (EW/SCEW) × 100
where:
EW is the weighted energy consumption of the household washing machine or the washing cycle of the household washer-dryer;
SCEW is the standard cycle energy consumption of the household washing machine or the washing cycle of the household washer-dryer.
The SCEW is calculated in kWh per cycle and rounded to three decimal places as follows:
SCEW = -0,0025 × c2 + 0,0846 × c + 0,392
where c is the rated capacity of the household washing machine or the rated washing capacity of the household washer-dryer for the eco 40-60 programme.
The EW is calculated in kWh per cycle as follows and rounded to three decimal places:
[X1 ]
where:
EW,full is the energy consumption of the household washing machine or of the washing cycle of the household washer-dryer for the eco 40-60 programme at the rated washing capacity and rounded to three decimal places;
EW,½ is the energy consumption of the household washing machine or of the washing cycle of the household washer-dryer for the eco 40-60 programme at half of the rated washing capacity and rounded to three decimal places;
EW,1/4 is the energy consumption of the household washing machine or of the washing cycle of the household washer-dryer for the eco 40-60 programme at a quarter of the rated washing capacity and rounded to three decimal places;
A is the weighting factor for rated washing capacity and rounded to three decimal places;
B is the weighting factor for half of the rated washing capacity and rounded to three decimal places;
C is the weighting factor for a quarter of the rated washing capacity and rounded to three decimal places.
For household washing machines with a rated capacity lower than or equal to 3 kg and for household washer-dryers with a rated washing capacity lower than or equal to 3 kg, A shall be equal to 1; B and C shall be equal to 0.
For other household washing machines and household washer-dryers, the values of the weighting factors depend on the rated capacity according to the following equations:
A = -0,0391 × c + 0,6918
B = -0,0109 × c + 0,3582
C = 1 - (A + B)
where c is the rated capacity of the household washing machine or the rated washing capacity of the household washer dryer.
The weighted energy consumption per 100 cycles of the household washing machine or of the washing cycle of the household washer-dryer is calculated as follows and rounded to the nearest integer:
EW × 100
