# Commission Decision of 17 December 1999 establishing the ecological criteria for the award of the Community eco-label to washing machines (notified under document number C(1999) 4650) (Text with EEA relevance) (2000/45/EC), Division 3: Spin drying efficiency

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

The machine shall achieve a residual moisture content (also termed D or spin extraction) of less than 54 %, in an EN 60456:1999 test, using the same standard 60 oC cotton cycle as chosen for Directive 95/12/EC.
The machine will thus qualify for spin drying efficiency class A or B as defined in Directive 95/12/EC, Annex IV.
The applicant shall provide a copy of the technical documentation referred to under Article 2(1) of Directive 95/12/EC. This documentation shall include the reports of at least three measurements of the spin extraction made according to EN 60456:1999, using the same standard 60 oC cotton cycle as chosen for Directive 95/12/EC. The arithmetic mean of these measurements shall be less than the above requirement. The spin drying efficiency class indicated on the energy label shall correspond to this mean value.
In case of verification, which is not required on application, competent bodies shall apply the tolerances and control procedures laid down in EN 6056:1999.
