# Commission Regulation (EU) 2019/2023 of 1 October 2019 laying down ecodesign requirements for household washing machines and household washer-dryers pursuant to Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, amending Commission Regulation (EC) No 1275/2008 and repealing Commission Regulation (EU) No 1015/2010 (Text with EEA relevance), Division 2: INDICATIVE BENCHMARKS FOR HOUSEHOLD WASHER-DRYERS ON WATER AND ENERGY CONSUMPTION, WASHING EFFICIENCY AND AIRBORNE ACOUSTICAL NOISE EMISSIONS

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

At the time of entry into force of this Regulation, the best available technology on the market for household washer-dryers, in terms of their water and energy consumptions and airborne acoustical noise emissions during washing/spinning/drying for the standard 60 °C cotton washing cycle at rated capacity and the ‘dry cotton’ drying cycle, is identified as follows:
(1)household washer dryer with a rated washing capacity of 6 kg:
(a)energy consumption of a complete cycle (washing, spinning and drying) at rated capacity and at standard 60 °C cotton programme: 3,64 kWh/cycle corresponding to an overall annual consumption of 800,8 kWh/year;
(b)energy consumption of a washing cycle (washing and spinning only) at rated capacity and at standard 60 °C cotton programme: 0,77 kWh/cycle corresponding to an overall annual consumption of 169,4 kWh/year;
(c)water consumption of a complete cycle (washing, spinning and drying) at rated capacity and at standard 60 °C cotton programme: 78 L/cycle, corresponding to 17 160 L/year for 220 cycles;
(d)airborne acoustic emissions during washing/spinning/drying: 51/77/66 dB(A);
(2)household washer dryer with a rated washing capacity of 7 kg:
(a)energy consumption of a complete cycle (washing, spinning and drying) at rated capacity and at standard 60 °C cotton programme: 4,76 kWh/cycle corresponding to an overall annual consumption of 1 047 kWh/year;
(b)energy consumption of a washing cycle (washing and spinning only) at rated capacity and at standard 60 °C cotton programme: 0,8 kWh/cycle corresponding to an overall annual consumption of 176 kWh/year;
(c)water consumption of a complete cycle (washing, spinning and drying) at rated capacity and at standard 60 °C cotton programme: 72 L/cycle, corresponding to 15 840 L/year for 220 cycles;
(d)airborne acoustic emissions during washing/spinning/drying: 47/73/58 dB(A);
(3)household washer dryer with a rated washing capacity of 8 kg:
(a)energy consumption of a complete cycle (washing, spinning and drying) at rated capacity and at standard 60 °C cotton programme: 3,8 kWh/cycle corresponding to an overall annual consumption of 836 kWh/year;
(b)energy consumption of a washing cycle (washing and spinning only) at rated capacity and at standard 60 °C cotton programme: 1,04 kWh/cycle corresponding to an overall annual consumption of 229 kWh/year;
(c)water consumption of a complete cycle (washing, spinning and drying) at rated capacity and at standard 60 °C cotton programme: 70 L/cycle, corresponding to 15 400 L/year for 220 cycles;
(d)airborne acoustic emissions during washing/spinning/drying: 49/73/66 dB(A);
(4)household washer dryer with a rated washing capacity of 9 kg:
(a)energy consumption of a complete cycle (washing, spinning and drying) at rated capacity and at standard 60 °C cotton programme: 3,67 kWh/cycle corresponding to an overall annual consumption of 807 kWh/year;
(b)energy consumption of a washing cycle (washing and spinning only) at rated capacity and at standard 60 °C cotton programme: 1,09 kWh/cycle corresponding to an overall annual consumption of 240 kWh/year;
(c)water consumption of a complete cycle (washing, spinning and drying) at rated capacity and at standard 60 °C cotton programme: 69 L/cycle, corresponding to 15 180 L/year for 220 cycles;
(d)airborne acoustic emissions during washing/spinning/drying: 49/75/66 dB(A).
