The energy efficiency class of a household tumble drier shall be determined on the basis of its Energy Efficiency Index (EEI) as set out in Table 1.
The Energy Efficiency Index (EEI) of a household tumble drier shall be determined in accordance with point 1 of Annex VII.
Energy efficiency classes
Energy efficiency class | Energy Efficiency Index |
---|---|
A+++ (most efficient) | EEI < 24 |
A++ | 24 ≤ EEI < 32 |
A+ | 32 ≤ EEI < 42 |
A | 42 ≤ EEI < 65 |
B | 65 ≤ EEI < 76 |
C | 76 ≤ EEI < 85 |
D (least efficient) | 85 ≤ EEI |
The condensation efficiency class of a condenser household tumble drier shall be determined on the basis of the weighted condensation efficiency (Ct ) as set out in Table 2.

Condensation efficiency classes
Condensation efficiency class | Weighted condensation efficiency |
---|---|
A (most efficient) | Ct > 90 |
B | 80 < Ct ≤ 90 |
C | 70 < Ct ≤ 80 |
D | 60 < Ct ≤ 70 |
E | 50 < Ct ≤ 60 |
F | 40 < Ct ≤ 50 |
G (least efficient) | Ct ≤ 40 |
