Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 665/2013 of 3 May 2013 supplementing Directive 2010/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to energy labelling of vacuum cleaners (Text with EEA relevance)
When the UK left the EU, legislation.gov.uk published EU legislation that had been published by the EU up to IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.). On legislation.gov.uk, these items of legislation are kept up-to-date with any amendments made by the UK since then.
Legislation.gov.uk publishes the UK version. EUR-Lex publishes the EU version. The EU Exit Web Archive holds a snapshot of EUR-Lex’s version from IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.).
Point in time view as at 31/01/2020.
There are outstanding changes not yet made to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 665/2013. Any changes that have already been made to the legislation appear in the content and are referenced with annotations.
Changes and effects yet to be applied by the editorial team are only applicable when viewing the latest version or prospective version of legislation. They are therefore not accessible when viewing legislation as at a specific point in time. To view the ‘Changes to Legislation’ information for this provision return to the latest version view using the options provided in the ‘What Version’ box above.
The annual energy consumption AE is calculated, in kWh/year and rounded to one decimal place, as follows:
for carpet vacuum cleaners:
for hard floor vacuum cleaners:
for general-purpose vacuum cleaners:
Where:
ASEc is the average specific energy consumption in Wh/m2 during carpet test, calculated as provided below;
ASEhf is the average specific energy consumption in Wh/m2 during hard floor test, calculated as provided below;
dpuc is the dust pick-up on carpet, determined in accordance with point 4 of this Annex;
dpuhf is the dust pick-up on hard floor, determined in accordance with point 4 of this Annex;
50 is the standard number of cleaning tasks per year;
87 is the standard dwelling surface to be cleaned in m2;
4 is the standard number of times that a vacuum cleaner passes over each point on the floor (two double strokes);
0,001 is the conversion factor from Wh to kWh;
1 is the standard dust pick-up;
0,20 is the standard difference between dust pick-up after five and after two double strokes.
The average specific energy consumption during carpet test (ASEc ) and during hard floor test (ASEhf ) shall be determined as an average of the specific energy consumption (SE) of the number of cleaning cycles that constitute the carpet and hard floor test respectively. The general equation for the specific energy consumption SE in Wh/m2 test area, at an accuracy of 3 decimal places, applicable for carpet, hard floor and general purpose vacuum cleaners with the appropriate suffixes, is:
Where:
P is the average power in W, at an accuracy of 2 decimal places, during the time in a cleaning cycle that the center of the cleaning head is moving over the test area;
NP is the average power equivalent in W, at an accuracy of 2 decimal places, of battery operated active nozzle, if any, of the vacuum cleaner, calculated as provided below;
t is the total time in hours, at an accuracy of 4 decimal places, in a cleaning cycle during which the centre of the cleaning head, i.e. a point halfway between the side, front and back edges of the cleaning head, is moving over the test area;
A is the surface area in m2, at an accuracy of 3 decimal places, passed over by the cleaning head in a cleaning cycle, calculated as 10 times the product of the head width and the appropriate length of test area. If a household vacuum cleaner has a head width of over 0,320 m, then the figure of 0,320 m shall be substituted for head width in this calculation.
For the hard floor tests the suffix hf and parameter names SEhf, Phf, NPhf, thf and Ahf shall be used in the above equation. For the carpet tests the suffix c and parameter names SEc, Pc, NPc, tc and Ac shall be used in the above equation. For each of the cleaning cycles, values of SEhf, Phf, NPhf, thf , Ahf and/or SEc, Pc, NPc, tc , Ac , as applicable, shall be included in the technical documentation.
The general equation for the average power equivalent of battery operated active nozzles NP in W, applicable for carpet, hard floor and general purpose vacuum cleaners with the appropriate suffixes, is:
Where:
E is the electricity consumption in Wh at an accuracy of 3 decimal places of the battery operated active nozzle of the vacuum cleaner necessary to return the initially fully charged battery to its originally fully charged state after a cleaning cycle;
tbat is the total time in hours, at an accuracy of 4 decimal places, in a cleaning cycle in which the battery operated active nozzle of the vacuum cleaner is activated, in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions;
In case the vacuum cleaner is not equipped with a battery operated active nozzle the value of NP equals zero.
For the hard floor tests the suffix hf and parameter names NPhf, Ehf, tbathf shall be used in the above equation. For the carpet tests the suffix c and parameter names NPc, Ec, tbatc shall be used in the above equation. For each of the cleaning cycles, values of Ehf, tbathf and/or Ec, tbatc , as applicable, shall be included in the technical documentation.

This timeline shows the different versions taken from EUR-Lex before exit day and during the implementation period as well as any subsequent versions created after the implementation period as a result of changes made by UK legislation.
The dates for the EU versions are taken from the document dates on EUR-Lex and may not always coincide with when the changes came into force for the document.
For any versions created after the implementation period as a result of changes made by UK legislation the date will coincide with the earliest date on which the change (e.g an insertion, a repeal or a substitution) that was applied came into force.
