  1. (a)

    supplier’s name or trade mark;

  2. (b)

    supplier’s model identifier, meaning the code, usually alphanumeric, which distinguishes a specific household washing machine model from other models with the same trade mark or supplier’s name;

  3. (c)

    rated capacity in kg of cotton for the standard 60 °C cotton programme at full load or the 40 °C cotton programme at full load, whichever is the lower;

  4. (d)

    energy efficiency class in accordance with point 1 of Annex VI;

  5. (e)

    where the household washing machine has been awarded an ‘EU Ecolabel award’ under Regulation (EC) No 66/2010, this information may be included;

  6. (f)

    weighted annual energy consumption (AEC) in kWh per year, rounded up to the nearest integer; it shall be described as: ‘Energy consumption “X” kWh per year, based on 220 standard washing cycles for cotton programmes at 60 °C and 40 °C at full and partial load, and the consumption of the low-power modes. Actual energy consumption will depend on how the appliance is used.’;

  7. (g)

    the energy consumption (Et,60, Et,60½, Et,40½) of the standard 60 °C cotton programme at full load and partial load and of the standard 40 °C cotton programme at partial load;

  8. (h)

    weighted power consumption of the off-mode and of the left-on mode;

  9. (i)

    weighted annual water consumption (AWC) in litres per year, rounded up to the nearest integer; it shall be described as: ‘Water consumption “X” litres per year, based on 220 standard washing cycles for cotton programmes at 60 °C and 40 °C at full and partial load. Actual water consumption will depend on how the appliance is used.’;

  10. (j)

    spin-drying efficiency class determined in accordance with point 2 of Annex VI, expressed as ‘spin-drying efficiency class “X” on a scale from G (least efficient) to A (most efficient)’; this may be expressed by other means provided it is clear that the scale is from G (least efficient) to A (most efficient);

  11. (k)

    maximum spin speed attained for the standard 60 °C cotton programme at full load or the standard 40 °C cotton programme at partial load, whichever is the lower, and remaining moisture content attained for the standard 60 °C cotton programme at full load or the standard 40 °C cotton programme at partial load, whichever is the greater;

  12. (l)

    indication that the ‘standard 60 °C cotton programme’ and the ‘standard 40 °C cotton programme’ are the standard washing programmes to which the information in the label and the fiche relates, that these programmes are suitable to clean normally soiled cotton laundry and that they are the most efficient programmes in terms of combined energy and water consumption;

  13. (m)

    the programme time of the ‘standard 60 °C cotton programme’ at full and partial load and of the ‘standard 40 °C cotton programme’ at partial load in minutes and rounded to the nearest minute;

  14. (n)

    the duration of the left-on mode (Tl) if the household washing machine is equipped with a power management system;

  15. (o)

    airborne acoustical noise emissions expressed in dB(A) re 1 pW and rounded to the nearest integer during the washing and spinning phases for the standard 60 °C cotton programme at full load;

  16. (p)

    if the household washing machine is intended to be built-in, an indication to this effect.

2.

One fiche may cover a number of household washing machine models supplied by the same supplier.

3.

The information contained in the fiche may be given in the form of a copy of the label, either in colour or in black and white. Where this is the case, the information listed in point 1 not already displayed on the label shall also be provided.
