2. Technical definitions

(a)

‘hard floor test’ means a test of two cleaning cycles where the cleaning head of a vacuum cleaner operating at maximum suction setting passes over a wooden test plate test area with width equal to the cleaning head width and appropriate length, featuring a diagonally (45°) placed test crevice, where the time elapsed, electric power consumption and the relative position of the center of the cleaning head to the test area are continuously measured and recorded at an appropriate sample rate and where at the end of each cleaning cycle the mass decrease of the test crevice is appropriately assessed;

(b)	‘test crevice’ means a removable U-shaped insert with appropriate dimensions filled at the beginning of a cleaning cycle with appropriate artificial dust;

(c)

‘carpet test’ means a test with an appropriate number of cleaning cycles on a Wilton carpet test rig where the cleaning head of a vacuum cleaner operating at maximum suction setting passes over the test area with width equal to the cleaning head width and appropriate length, soiled with equally distributed and appropriately embedded test dust of appropriate composition, where the time elapsed, electric power consumption and the relative position of the center of the cleaning head to the test area are continuously measured and recorded at an appropriate sample rate and at the end of each cleaning cycle the mass increase of the appliance dust receptacle is appropriately assessed;

(d)	‘cleaning head width’ in m, at an accuracy of 3 decimal places, means the external maximum width of the cleaning head;

(e)	‘cleaning cycle’ means a sequence of 5 double strokes of the vacuum cleaner on a floor-specific test area (‘carpet’ or ‘hard floor’);

(f)	‘double stroke’ means one forward and one backward movement of the cleaning head in a parallel pattern, performed at a uniform test stroke speed and with a specified test stroke length;

(g)

‘test stroke speed’ in m/h means the appropriate cleaning head speed for testing, preferably realized with an electromechanical operator. Products with self-propelled cleaning heads shall try to come as close as possible to the appropriate speed, but a deviation is permitted when clearly stated in the technical documentation;

(h)	‘test stroke length’ in m means the length of the test area plus the cleaning head distance covered by the center of the cleaning head when moving over the appropriate acceleration zones before and after the test area;

(i)

‘dust pick up’ (dpu), at an accuracy of 3 decimal places, means the ratio of the mass of the artificial dust removed, determined for carpet through the mass increase of the appliance dust receptacle and for hard floor through the mass decrease of the test crevice, after a number of double strokes of the cleaning head, to the mass of artificial dust initially applied to a test area, for carpet corrected for the specific test conditions and for hard floor corrected for the length and positioning of the test crevice;

(j)	‘reference vacuum cleaner system’ means electrically operated laboratory equipment used to measure the calibrated and reference dust pick-up on carpets with given air related parameters to improve the reproducibility of test results;

(k)	‘rated input power’ in W means the electric input power declared by the manufacturer, whereby for appliances that are enabled to function also for other purposes than vacuum cleaning only the electric input power relevant to vacuum cleaning applies;

(l)

‘dust re-emission’ means the ratio, expressed as a percentage at an accuracy of 2 decimal places, of the number of all dust particles of a size from 0.3 to 10 μm emitted by a vacuum cleaner to the number of all dust particles of the same size range entering the suction inlet when fed with a specific amount of dust of that particle size range. The value includes not only dust measured at the vacuum cleaner outlet but also dust emitted elsewhere either from leaks, or generated by the vacuum cleaner;

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 666/2013

of 8 July 2013

implementing Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to ecodesign requirements for vacuum cleaners

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 establishing a framework for the setting of ecodesign requirements for energy-related products (1), and in particular Article 15(1) thereof,

After consulting the Consultation Forum referred to in Article 18 of Directive 2009/125/EC,

Whereas:

(1)

Under Directive 2009/125/EC ecodesign requirements should be set by the Commission for energy-related products representing significant volumes of sales and trade, having significant environmental impact and presenting significant potential for improvement in terms of their environmental impact without entailing excessive costs.

(2)

Article 16(2) of Directive 2009/125/EC provides that in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 19(3) and the criteria set out in Article 15(2), and after consulting the Consultation Forum, the Commission has to, as appropriate, introduce implementing measures for domestic appliances, including vacuum cleaners.

(3)

The Commission has carried out a preparatory study to analyse the technical, environmental and economic aspects of vacuum cleaners typically used in households and commercial premises. The study has been developed together with stakeholders and interested parties from the Union and third countries, and the results have been made publicly available.

(4)	Wet, wet and dry, robot, industrial, central and battery operated vacuum cleaners and floor polishers and outdoor vacuums have particular characteristics and should therefore be exempted from the scope of this Regulation.

(5)

The environmental aspects of the products covered, identified as significant for the purposes of this Regulation, are energy consumption in the use phase, dust pick-up, dust re-emission, noise (sound power level) and durability. The annual electricity consumption of products subject to this Regulation was estimated to have been 18 TWh in the Union in 2005. Unless specific measures are taken, annual electricity consumption is predicted to be 34 TWh in 2020. The preparatory study shows that the energy consumption of products subject to this Regulation can be significantly reduced.

(6)	The preparatory study shows that requirements regarding further ecodesign parameters referred to in Part 1 of Annex I to Directive 2009/125/EC are not necessary in the case of vacuum cleaners.

(7)	The energy consumption of vacuum cleaners should be made more efficient by applying existing non-proprietary cost-effective technologies that can reduce the combined costs of purchasing and operating these products.

(8)

The ecodesign requirements should not affect functionality from the end-user’s perspective and should not negatively affect health, safety or the environment. In particular, the benefits of reducing energy consumption during the use phase should more than offset any additional environmental impacts during the production phase and the disposal.

(9)

The ecodesign requirements should be introduced gradually in order to provide a sufficient timeframe for manufacturers to re-design products subject to this Regulation. The timing should be such as to avoid negative impacts on the functionalities of equipment on the market, and to take into account cost impacts for end-users and manufacturers, in particular small and medium-sized enterprises, while ensuring timely achievement of the objectives of this Regulation.

(10)	A review of this Regulation is foreseen no later than 5 years after its entry into force and in relation to two provisions no later than 1 September 2016.

(11)

Commission Regulation (EU) No 327/2011 of 30 March 2011 implementing Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to Ecodesign requirements for fans driven by motors with an electric input power between 125 W and 500 kW (2) should be amended to exclude fans integrated in vacuum cleaners from its scope in order to prevent specific ecodesign requirements for the same products to be contained in two separate regulations.

(12)

Measurements of the relevant product parameters should be performed through reliable, accurate and reproducible measurement methods, which take into account the recognised state of the art measurement methods including, where available, harmonised standards adopted by the European standardisation organisations, as listed in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on European standardisation (3).

(13)	In accordance with Article 8 of Directive 2009/125/EC, this Regulation should specify the applicable conformity assessment procedures.

(14)	In order to facilitate compliance checks, manufacturers should provide information contained in the technical documentation referred to in Annexes IV and V of Directive 2009/125/EC insofar as this information relates to the requirements laid down in this Regulation.

(15)

In addition to the legally binding requirements laid down in this Regulation, indicative benchmarks for best available technologies should be identified to ensure the wide availability and easy accessibility of information on the life-cycle environmental performance of products subject to this Regulation.

(16)	The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 19(1) of Directive 2009/125/EC,

ANNEX IV

Benchmarks

At the time of entry into force of this Regulation, the best available technology on the market for domestic vacuum cleaners, in terms of their specific energy consumption, is an upright vacuum cleaner of 650 W at a cleaning head width of 0,28 m, which translates into a specific energy consumption of 1,29 Wh/m2, although with sound power level rated at over 83 dB.

Dust pick-up and dust re-emission data for the above machine, compliant with the methods defined and referenced in this Regulation are not available. Best dust pick-up currently available on the market is around 1,08 for hard floor with crevice, and 0,90 on carpet. Best dust re-emission currently available on the market is around 0,0002 %. Best sound power level is 62 dB.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 668/2013

of 12 July 2013

amending Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards maximum residue levels for 2,4-DB, dimethomorph, indoxacarb, and pyraclostrobin in or on certain products

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 February 2005 on maximum residue levels of pesticides in or on food and feed of plant and animal origin and amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Article 14(1)(a) and Article 49(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)	For 2,4-DB, indoxacarb and pyraclostrobin, maximum residue levels (MRLs) are set in Annex II and Part B of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. For dimethomorph, MRLs are set in Part A of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.

(2)	Certain technical adaptations should be made, in particular the name of the active substance ‘2,4 DB’ should be replaced by ‘2,4-DB’. Annex II and Part B of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(3)

For 2,4-DB, the European Food Safety Authority, hereinafter ‘the Authority’, submitted a reasoned opinion on the existing MRLs in accordance with Article 12(2) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 in conjunction with Article 12(1) thereof (2). The Authority proposed to change the residue definition. The Authority concluded that concerning the MRLs for barley grain, oats grain, rye grain and wheat grain, for meat, fat, liver and kidney of swine, bovine animals, sheep and goat, as well as for cattle milk, sheep milk and goat milk some information was not available and that further consideration by risk managers was required. As there is no risk for consumers, MRLs for those products should be set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the existing level or the level identified by the Authority. Those MRLs will be reviewed taking into account the information available within two years from the publication of this Regulation.

(4)

For dimethomorph, the Authority submitted a reasoned opinion on the existing MRLs in accordance with Article 12(2) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 in conjunction with Article 12(1) thereof (3). The Authority proposed to change the residue definition. The Authority recommended lowering the MRLs for pineapples, potatoes, spring onions, cucumbers, gherkins, courgettes, melons, kohlrabi, scarole, witloof, beans (fresh, without pods), poppy seed and rape seed, for meat, fat, liver and kidney of swine, bovine animals, sheep and goat, as well as for poultry meat, poultry fat, poultry liver, cattle milk, sheep milk, goat milk and birds’ eggs. For other products it recommended raising or keeping the existing MRLs. The Authority concluded that concerning the MRLs for blackberries, raspberries and spinach some information was not available and that further consideration by risk managers was required. As there is no risk for consumers, MRLs for those products should be set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the existing level or the level identified by the Authority. Those MRLs will be reviewed taking into account the information available within two years from the publication of this Regulation. As regards bulb vegetables — others, the MRL should be set at a different level than identified by the Authority, given that there is no risk for consumers and based on additional information on the good agricultural practices provided by Germany. As regards garlic, onions, shallots, broccoli, head cabbage, leafy brassica, lettuce, scarole, spinach, beet leaves and celery, after submitting the opinion referred to in the first sentence, the Authority submitted further opinions concerning the MRLs (4) (5). It is appropriate to take those opinions into account.

(5)

For indoxacarb, the Authority submitted a reasoned opinion on the existing MRLs in accordance with Article 12(2) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 in conjunction with Article 12(1) thereof (6). The Authority proposed to change the residue definition. The Authority recommended lowering the MRLs for blueberries, currants, gooseberries, rose hips, mulberries, azarole, elderberries, Brussels sprouts, head cabbage, scarole, peanuts, rape seed and maize grain. For other products it recommended raising or keeping the existing MRLs. The Authority concluded that concerning the MRLs for apples, broccoli, cauliflower, lamb’s lettuce, rocket, rucola, leaves and sprouts of brassica, poultry meat, poultry fat, poultry liver and birds’ eggs some information was not available and that further consideration by risk managers was required. As there is no risk for consumers, MRLs for those products should be set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the existing level or the level identified by the Authority. Those MRLs will be reviewed taking into account the information available within two years from the publication of this Regulation. As regards strawberries, raspberries, Chinese cabbage, lamb’s lettuce, beans (fresh, with pods), cardoons, fennel and rhubarb, after submitting the opinion referred to in the first sentence, the Authority submitted a further opinion concerning the MRLs (7). It is appropriate to take that opinion into account.

(6)

For pyraclostrobin, the Authority submitted a reasoned opinion on the existing MRLs in accordance with Article 12(2) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 in conjunction with Article 12(1) thereof (8). The Authority recommended lowering the MRLs for scarole and lupins (dry). For other products it recommended raising or keeping the existing MRLs. The Authority concluded that concerning the MRLs for table grapes, celery, cotton seed and coffee beans some information was not available and that further consideration by risk managers was required. As there is no risk for consumers, MRLs for those products should be set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the existing level or the level identified by the Authority. Those MRLs will be reviewed taking into account the information available within two years from the publication of this Regulation. As regards oranges, leafy brassica, linseed, peanuts, poppy seed, sesame seed, rape seed, mustard seed, cotton seed, safflower, borage, gold of pleasure and castor bean, after submitting the opinion referred to in the first sentence, the Authority submitted further opinions concerning the MRLs (9) (10). It is appropriate to take those opinions into account. As regards cherries, peaches, plums, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, papaya, onions, cucurbits – edible peel, barley, oats, rye, sorghum and wheat, after the Authority submitted the opinion referred to in the first sentence, the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) (11) adopted Codex MRLs (CXLs) for pyraclostrobin. It is appropriate to take these CXLs into account, with the exception of those CXLs which are not safe for a European consumer group and for which the Union presented a reservation to the CAC (12).

(7)	Based on the reasoned opinions of the Authority and taking into account the factors relevant to the matter under consideration, the appropriate modifications to the MRLs fulfil the requirements of Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.

(8)	Through the World Trade Organisation, the trading partners of the Union were consulted on the new MRLs and their comments have been taken into account.

(9)	A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before the modified MRLs become applicable in order to permit Member States and interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements which will result from the modification of the MRLs.

(10)	Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 and Part A and B of Annex III to that Regulation should therefore be amended accordingly.

(11)

In order to allow for the normal marketing, processing and consumption of products, this Regulation should provide for a transitional arrangement for products which have been lawfully produced before the modification of the MRLs and for which information shows that a high level of consumer protection is maintained.

(12)	The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and neither the European Parliament nor the Council has opposed them,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

Article 2

Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 as it stood before being amended by this Regulation shall continue to apply to products which were lawfully produced before 2 February 2014:

(1)	as regards the active substances 2,4-DB and dimethomorph in and on all products;

(2)	as regards the active substance indoxacarb in and on all products except head cabbage and scarole (broad-leaf endive);

(3)	as regards the active substance pyraclostrobin in and on all products except scarole (broad-leaf endive).

Article 3

This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

It shall apply from 2 February 2014.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
