(Text with EEA relevance)
Article 1
Subject matter and scope
This Regulation establishes ecodesign requirements for the placing on the market of electric mains-operated household dishwashers and electric mains-operated household dishwashers that can also be powered by batteries, including those sold for non-household use and built-in household dishwashers.
Article 2
Definitions
In addition to the definitions laid down in Article 2 of Directive 2009/125/EC, the following definitions shall apply for the purpose of this Regulation:
(1) ‘household dishwasher’ means a machine which cleans, rinses, and dries dishware, glassware, cutlery and cooking utensils by chemical, mechanical, thermal, and electric means and which is designed to be used principally for non-professional purposes;
(2) ‘built-in household dishwasher’ means a household dishwasher intended to be installed in a cabinet, a prepared recess in a wall or a similar location, requiring furniture finishing;
(3) ‘place settings’ means a defined set of crockery, glass and cutlery for use by one person;
(4) ‘rated capacity’ means the maximum number of place settings together with the serving pieces, as stated by the manufacturer, which can be treated in a household dishwasher on the programme selected when loaded in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions;
(5) ‘programme’ means a series of operations that are pre-defined and are declared as suitable by the manufacturer for specified levels of soil or types of load, or both, and together form a complete cycle;
(6) ‘programme time’ means the time that elapses from the initiation of the programme until the completion of the programme, excluding any user-programmed delay;
(7) ‘cycle’ means a complete cleaning, rinsing, and drying process, as defined for the selected programme;

ANNEX II
Method for calculating the Energy Efficiency Index, the Cleaning Efficiency Index and the Drying Efficiency Index
1. CALCULATION OF THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY INDEX
For the calculation of the Energy Efficiency Index (EEI) of a household dishwasher model, the Annual Energy Consumption of the household dishwasher is compared to its Standard Energy Consumption.
(a) The Energy Efficiency Index (EEI) is calculated as follows and rounded to one decimal place:
where:
|
AEC |
= |
Annual Energy Consumption of the household dishwasher; |
|
SAEC |
= |
Standard Annual Energy consumption of the household dishwasher. |
(b) The Annual Energy Consumption (AEc ) is calculated in kWh/year as follows and rounded to two decimal places:
(i)
where:
|
Et |
= |
energy consumption for the standard cycle, in kWh and rounded to three decimal places; |
|
Pl |
= |
power in ‘left-on mode’ for the standard cleaning cycle, in W and rounded to two decimal places; |
|
Po |
= |
power in ‘off-mode’ for the standard cleaning cycle, in W and rounded to two decimal places; |
|
Tt |
= |
programme time for the standard cleaning cycle, in minutes and rounded to the nearest minute; |
(ii) where the household dishwasher is equipped with a power management system, with the household dishwasher reverting automatically to ‘off-mode’ after the end of the programme, AEC is calculated taking into consideration the effective duration of ‘left-on mode’, according to the following formula:
where:
|
Tl |
= |
measured time in ‘left-on mode’ for the standard cleaning cycle, in minutes and rounded to the nearest minute; |
|
280 |
= |
total number of standard cleaning cycles per year. |
(c) The Standard Annual Energy Consumption SAEC is calculated in kWh/year as follows and rounded to two decimal places:
(i) for household dishwashers with rated capacity ps ≥ 10 and width > 50 cm:
(ii) for household dishwashers with rated capacity ps ≤ 9 and household dishwashers with rated capacity ps > 9 and width ≤ 50 cm:
where:
|
ps |
= |
number of place settings. |
2. CALCULATION OF THE CLEANING EFFICIENCY INDEX
For the calculation of the Cleaning Efficiency Index (IC ) of a household dishwasher model, the cleaning efficiency of the household dishwasher is compared to the cleaning efficiency of a reference dishwasher, where the reference dishwasher shall have the characteristics indicated in the generally recognised state-of-the-art measurement methods, including methods set out in documents the reference numbers of which have been published for that purpose in the Official Journal of the European Union.
(a) The Cleaning Efficiency Index (IC ) is calculated as follows and rounded to two decimal places
IC = exp(lnIC )
where:
|
CT,i |
= |
cleaning efficiency of the household dishwasher under test for one test cycle (i) |
|
CR,i |
= |
cleaning efficiency of the reference dishwasher for one test cycle (i) |
|
n |
= |
number of test cycles, n ≥ 5 |
(b) The cleaning efficiency (C) is the average of the soil score of each load item after completion of a standard cleaning cycle. The soil score is calculated as shown in Table 1:
Table 1
|
Number of small dot-shaped soil particles (n) |
Total soiled area (AS ) in mm2 |
Soil score |
|
n = 0 |
AS = 0 |

|
Not applicable |
200 < AS |
0 (least efficient) |
3. CALCULATION OF THE DRYING EFFICIENCY INDEX
For the calculation of the Drying Efficiency Index (ID ) of a household dishwasher model, the drying efficiency of the household dishwasher is compared to the drying efficiency of a reference dishwasher, where the reference dishwasher shall have the characteristics indicated in the generally recognised state-of-the-art measurement methods, including methods set out in documents the reference numbers of which have been published for that purpose in the Official Journal of the European Union.
(a) The Drying Efficiency Index (ID ) is calculated as follows and rounded to two decimal places:
ID = exp(lnID )
where:
|
DT,i |
= |
drying efficiency of the household dishwasher under test for one test cycle (i) |
|
DR,i |
= |
drying efficiency of the reference dishwasher for one test cycle (i) |
|
n |
= |
number of test cycles, n ≥ 5 |
(b) The Drying Efficiency (D) is the average of the wet score of each load item after completion of a standard cleaning cycle. The wet score is calculated as shown in Table 2:
Table 2
|
Number of water traces (WT) or wet streak (WS) |
Total wet area (Aw) in mm2 |
Wet score |
|
WT = 0 and WS = 0 |
Not applicable |

|
2 < WT or WS = 2 or WS = 1 and WT = 1 |
Aw > 50 |
0 (least efficient) |
ANNEX III
Product compliance verification by market surveillance authorities
The verification tolerances defined in this Annex relate only to the verification of the measured parameters by Member State authorities and shall not be used by the manufacturer or importer as an allowed tolerance to establish the values in the technical documentation or in interpreting these values with a view to achieving compliance or to communicate better performance by any means.
When verifying the compliance of a product model with the requirements laid down in this Regulation pursuant to Article 3(2) of Directive 2009/125/EC, for the requirements referred to in this Annex, the authorities of the Member States shall apply the following procedure:
(1) The Member State authorities shall verify one single unit of the model.
(2) The model shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements if:
(a) the values given in the technical documentation pursuant to point 2 of Annex IV to Directive 2009/125/EC (declared values), and, where applicable, the values used to calculate these values, are not more favourable for the manufacturer or importer than the results of the corresponding measurements carried out pursuant to paragraph (g) thereof; and
(b) the declared values meet any requirements laid down in this Regulation, and any required product information published by the manufacturer or importer does not contain values that are more favourable for the manufacturer or importer than the declared values; and
(c) when the Member State authorities test the unit of the model, the determined values (the values of the relevant parameters as measured in testing and the values calculated from these measurements) comply with the respective verification tolerances as given in Table 1.
(3) If the results referred to in point 2(a) or (b) are not achieved, the model and all models that have been listed as equivalent household dishwasher models in the manufacturer's or importer's technical documentation shall be considered not to comply with this Regulation.
(4) If the result referred to in point 2(c) is not achieved, the Member State authorities shall select three additional units of the same model for testing. As an alternative, the three additional units selected may be of one or more different models that have been listed as equivalent models in the manufacturer's or importer's technical documentation.
(5) The model shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements if, for these three units, the arithmetical mean of the determined values complies the respective verification tolerances given in Table 1.
(6) If the result referred to in point 5 is not achieved, the model and all models that have been listed as equivalent household dishwasher models in the manufacturer's or importer's technical documentation shall be considered not to comply with this Regulation.
(7) The Member State authorities shall provide all relevant information to the authorities of the other Member States and to the Commission without delay after a decision being taken on the non-compliance of the model according to points 3 and 6.
Member States' authorities shall use measurement procedures which take into account the generally recognised, state-of-the-art, reliable, accurate and reproducible measurement methods, including methods set out in documents whose reference numbers have been published for that purpose in the Official Journal of the European Union. The Member State authorities shall use the measurement and calculation methods set out in Annex II.
The Member State authorities shall only apply the verification tolerances that are set out in Table 1 and shall only use the procedure described in points 1 to 7 for the requirements referred to in this Annex. No other tolerances, such as those set out in harmonised standards or in any other measurement method, shall be applied.
