ENERGY EFFICIENCY CLASS

1. The energy efficiency class of an appliance shall be determined as follows

A reference consumption C R shall be calculated as follows

C R = 1.35 + 0.025 × S

when S > 10

C R = 0.45 + 0.09 × S

when S < 9

where S is the capacity of the appliance in standard place settings (Schedule I,

note VIII).

C

An energy efficiency index E I is then set as

E I =

C R

where C is the energy consumption of the appliance (Schedule I, note V).

The energy efficiency class is then determined in accordance with Table 1

(lower)’. This may be expressed by other means provided it is clear that

the scale is from A (higher) to G (lower).

Drying performance class, determined in accordance with Schedule IV.

Expressed as: ‘Drying performance on a scale of A (higher) to G

(lower)’. This may be expressed by other means provided it is clear that

the scale is from A (higher) to G (lower).
