Modifications etc. (not altering text)

C1 Annex 10 applied (with modifications) (31.12.2020) by The Ecodesign for Energy-Related Products and Energy Information (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 (S.I. 2020/1528), regs. 1(4), 30(1)-(3), Sch. 2

C2 Annex 10, as applied and modified by S.I. 2020/1528, Sch. 2, amended (1.10.2021) by The Ecodesign for Energy-Related Products and Energy Information (Amendment) Regulations 2021 (S.I. 2021/1097), regs. 1(2), 5(10)

(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;

(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;

(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;

(d)

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

(e)

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

(f)

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

(g)

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

(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.
