  1. (a)

    the rated washing capacity is the sum of the rated washing capacities of each drum; for multi-drum household washer-dryers, the rated capacity is the sum of the rated capacities of each drum;

  2. (b)

    the energy and water consumption of the multi-drum household washing machine and of the washing cycle of the multi-drum household washer-dryer is the sum of the energy consumption, or water consumption, of each drum;

  3. (c)

    the energy and water consumption of the complete cycle of the multi-drum household washer-dryer is the sum of the energy consumption, or water consumption, of each drum;

  4. (d)

    the Energy Efficiency Index (EEIW) is calculated using the rated washing capacity and energy consumption; for multi-drum household washer-dryers, the Energy Efficiency Index (EEIWD) is calculated using the rated capacity and energy consumption;

  5. (e)

    the duration is the duration of the longest eco 40-60 programme, or wash and dry cycle, operating in each drum;

  6. (f)

    the residual moisture content after washing is calculated as the weighted average, according to each drum’s rated capacity;

  7. (g)

    for household multi-drum washer-dryers, the final moisture content after drying is measured individually for each drum;

  8. (h)

    the measurement of low power modes, of the acoustic airborne noise emissions and the acoustic airborne noise emissions class apply to the whole household washing machine.
