Division 3 DRYING PERFORMANCE INDEXF1

For the calculation of the drying performance index (I_D) of a household dishwasher model, the drying performance of the eco programme is compared to the drying performance of the reference dishwasher.

The I_D is calculated as follows and rounded to two decimal places:

I_D = exp (ln I_D)

and

where:

I_D,i is the drying performance index of the eco programme of the household dishwasher under test for one test run (i);

n is the number of combined cleaning and drying test runs.

The I_D,i is calculated as follows and rounded to two decimal places:

ln I_D,i= ln (D_T,i/D_R,t)

where:

D_T,i is the average drying performance score of the eco programme of the household dishwasher under test for one test run (i), rounded to two decimal places;

D_R,t is the target drying score of the reference dishwasher, rounded to two decimal places.
