Division 1 ENERGY EFFICIENCY INDEX

For the calculation of the EEI of a household dishwasher model, the EPEC of the household dishwasher is compared to its SPEC.

1. (a)

   The EEI is calculated as follows and rounded to one decimal place:

   EEI = (EPEC/SPEC) × 100

   where:

   EPEC is the eco programme energy consumption of the household dishwasher, measured in kWh/cycle and rounded to three decimal places;

   SPEC is the standard programme energy consumption of the household dishwasher.

2. (b)

   The SPEC is calculated in kWh/cycle and rounded to three decimal places as follows:

   1. (1)

      for household dishwashers with rated capacity ps ≥ 10 and width > 50 cm:

      SPEC = 0,025 × ps + 1,35

   2. (2)

      for household dishwashers with rated capacity ps ≤ 9 or width ≤ 50 cm:

      SPEC = 0,09 × ps + 0,45

      where ps is the number of place settings.
