Paragraph 1
(1)
The energy efficiency class of an appliance shall be determined in accordance with Table 1.
TABLE 1
| Energy efficiency class | Energy consumption “C” in kWh per kg for a complete operating (washing spinning and drying) cycle using standard 60°C cotton cycle, and “dry cotton” drying cycle, determined in accordance with the test procedures of the harmonised standards |
|---|---|
| A | C ≤ 0.68 |
| B | 0.68 <C ≤ 0.81 |
| C | 0.81 <C ≤ 0.93 |
| D | 0.93 <C ≤ 1.05 |
| E | 1.05 <C ≤ 1.17 |
| F | 1.17 <C ≤ 1.29 |
| G | 1.29 <C |
(2)
The washing performance class of an appliance shall be determined in accordance with Table 2.
TABLE 2
| Washing performance class | Washing performance index “P” as defined in the harmonised standards, using a standard 60°C cotton cycle |
|---|---|
| A | P> 1.03 |
| B | 1.03 ≥ P> 1.00 |
| C | 1.00 ≥ P> 0.97 |
| D | 0.97 ≥ P> 0.94 |
| E | 0.94 ≥ P> 0.91 |
| F | 0.91 ≥ P> 0.88 |
| G | 0.88 ≥ P |
