  "text": "(1) The verification tolerances set out in Table 15 must be used only by the market surveillance authority and only for the purposes of this Schedule.\n(2) The manufacturer, authorised representative or importer of a product must not use the verification tolerances—\n(a) as allowed tolerances to establish the declared values;\n(b) in order to interpret the declared values with a view to achieving compliance; or\n(c) to communicate better performance.\nTable 15\nVerification tolerances\nParameter\nVerification tolerances\nEW,full, EW,½, EW,1/4, EWD,full, EWD,½\nThe determined value must not exceed the declared value of EW,full, EW,½, EW,1/4, EWD,full and EWD,½, respectively, by more than 10 per cent.\nWeighted energy consumption (EW and EWD)\nThe determined value must not exceed the declared value of EW, or EWD,, respectively, by more than 10 per cent.\nWW,full, WW,½ WW,1/4, WWD,full, WWD,½\nThe determined value must not exceed the declared value of WW,full, WW,½, WW,1/4, WWD,full and WWD,½, respectively, by more than 10 per cent.\nWeighted water consumption (WW and WWD)\nThe determined value must not exceed the declared value of WW, or WWD,, respectively, by more than 10 per cent.\nWashing efficiency index (IW and JW) at all relevant loads\nThe determined value must not be less than the declared value of IW, or Jw,, respectively, by more than 8 per cent.\nRinsing effectiveness (IR and JR) at all relevant loads\nThe determined value must not exceed the declared value of IR, or JR, respectively, by more than 1.0 g/kg.\nDuration of the eco 40-60 programme (tW) at all relevant loads\nThe determined value of the programme duration must not exceed the declared value of tW by more than 5 per cent or by more than 10 minutes, whichever is the smaller.\nDuration of the wash and dry cycle (tWD) at all relevant loads\nThe determined value of the cycle duration must not exceed the declared value of tWD by more than 5 per cent or by more than 10 minutes, whichever is the smaller.\nMaximum temperature inside the laundry (T) during the washing cycle at all relevant loads\nThe determined value must not be less than the declared values of T by more than 5 K and it must not exceed the declared value of T by more than 5 K.\nWeighted remaining moisture content after washing (D)\nThe determined value must not exceed the declared value of D by more than 10 per cent.\nFinal moisture content after drying at all relevant loads\nThe determined value must not exceed 3 per cent.\nSpin speed (S) at all relevant loads\nThe determined value must not be less than the declared values of S by more than 10 per cent\nPower consumption in off mode (Po)\nThe determined value of power consumption Po must not exceed the declared value by more than 0.10 W.\nPower consumption in standby mode (Psm)\nThe determined value of power consumption Psm must not exceed the declared value by more than 10 per cent if the declared value is higher than 1.00 W, or by more than 0.10 W if the declared value is lower than or equal to 1.00 W.\nPower consumption in delay start (Pds)\nThe determined value of power consumption Pds must not exceed the declared value by more than 10 per cent if the declared value is higher than 1.00 W, or by more than 0.10 W if the declared value is lower than or equal to 1.00 W.",
