Division 1 The information referred to in Article 4(b) shall be provided in the following order:

United Kingdom

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

  1. (a)

    the rated capacity in kg of cotton, for the standard cotton programme at full load;

  2. (b)

    whether the household tumble drier is an air-vented, condenser or gas-fired household tumble drier;

  3. (c)

    the energy efficiency class as defined in point 1 of Annex VI;

  4. (d)

    for electric mains-operated household tumble drier:

    the weighted Annual Energy Consumption (AEc ) rounded up to the nearest integer, to be described as: ‘Energy consumption “X” kWh per year, based on 160 drying cycles of the standard cotton programmes at full and partial load, and the consumption of the low-power modes. Actual energy consumption per cycle will depend on how the appliance is used.’;

    for household gas-fired tumble drier:

    • the weighted Annual Energy Consumption (AEC(Gas) ) rounded up to one decimal place; it shall be described as: ‘Energy consumption “X” kWh-Gas per year, based on 160 drying cycles of the standard cotton programme at full and partial load. Actual energy consumption per cycle will depend on how the appliance is used’;

      and

    • the weighted Annual Energy Consumption (AEC(Gas)el ) rounded up to one decimal place; it shall be described as: ‘Energy consumption “X” kWh per year, based on 160 drying cycles of the standard cotton programme at full and partial load, and the consumption of the low-power modes. Actual energy consumption per cycle will depend on how the appliance is used.’;

  5. (e)

    whether the household tumble drier is an ‘automatic tumble drier’ or ‘non-automatic tumble drier’;

  6. (f)

    the energy consumption (Edry , Edry½ , Egdry , Egdry½ , Egdry,a , Egdry½,a ) of the standard cotton programme at full and partial load, rounded up to two decimal places and calculated in accordance with Annex VII;

  7. (g)

    the power consumption of the off-mode (Po ) and the left-on mode (Pl ) for the standard cotton programme at full load;

  8. (h)

    the programme time of the ‘standard cotton programme at full load’ (Tdry ) and the programme time of the ‘standard cotton programme at partial load’ (Tdry½ ), in minutes and rounded to the nearest minute, calculated in accordance with Annex VII;

  9. (i)

    if the household tumble drier is a condenser tumble drier, the condensation efficiency class in accordance with point 2 of Annex VI;

  10. (j)

    the sound power level (weighted average value — LWA) for the standard cotton programme at full load, expressed in dB and rounded to the nearest integer;

  11. (k)

    if the household tumble drier is intended to be built-in, an indication to this effect.
