membership includes the national standardiz ation bodi es of the member states.  
One of the department's tasks is to prepare Kuwaiti standards and technical regulations by specialized technical 
committees.  
The technical sub -committee  for Energy Efficiency of Refrigeration Devices, Washing Machines and Dryers  
emanating from the National Committee for the Electrical and Electro nic Standards  Sector has prepared this 
Kuwaiti technical regulation  within th e work program of the National Committee for the Electrical and 
Electronic Standards Sector, in accordance with t he ministerial decision issued in this regard.  
This  technical  regulation  "Electrical Clothes Dryers  - Energy Performance Requirements and Labeling " was based 
on Saudi technical regulation  SASO 2883 . 3 KUWAIT STANDARD   KWS........ /2022

To calculate the Ener gy Efficien cy Index  (EEI) of a tumble  dryer model, the weighted  Annual  Ener gy 
Consumption  of a tumb le dryer for the stand ard cotton program at full and partial load is compared to its 
Standard Annual Ener gy Consumpt ion. 
 
The Ener gy Efficiency Index (EEI)  is calculated  as follows  and rounded to one decimal  place: 
 
 
                            Formula  (A.1) 
 
 
Where:

A.2.1 ‐ Annual energy calculation   
AEC is calculated in kWh as follows and is rounded to two decimal  place
16 KUWAIT STANDARD   KWS........ /2022 
  
 
   Formula (A.4)  
 
Where: 
 
Et = weighted energy consumptio n, in kWh and rounded to two decimal places 
Po = power in ‘off-mode’ for the standard cotton program  at full load,  in W and rounded to two decimal 
places. 
Pl = power in ‘left-on mode’ for the standard  cotton program at full load, in W and rounded to two decimal 
places. 
Tt = weight ed program time, in minutes  and rounded to the nearest minute. 
160 = total number of drying cycles per year. 
525600 = constant (time ) 
 
 
A.2.2 ‐ Annual energy consump tion for tumble dryers equippe d with  power  management system 
 When the tumble  dryer  is equipp ed with a power manag ement system, with the tumble  dryer reverting 
automatically  to ‘off-mode’ after the end of the program,  the weighted Annual Energy Consumption (AEC)  
is calculated  taking  into consideration the effective duration  of the ‘left-on mode’, according to the following 
formula,  and rounded to two decimal places:

The weighted program time (Tt) is calculated in minutes  as follows  and rounded to the nearest  minute: 
 
Tt = (3 × Tdry + 4 × Tdry;½ )/7                                                                                              Formula  (A.6)

Annex  B - Calcu lation of the condensat ion efficiency 
 
 
 
B.1 – Calc ulation  of the condensat ion efficiency  index (Ct) 
The conden sation  efficiency of a program  is the ratio betwe en the mass of moisture condensed and 
collected in the container  of a conde nser tumble  dryer and the mass of moisture removed from the load by 
the program, the latter  being the differen ce between the mass of the wet test load before drying and the 
mass of the test load after drying. For calculating  the weigh ted conden sation  efficiency, the average 
conden sation  efficiency for the standard cotton program  at both full and partial  load is considered. 
 
The weighted condensation efficiency  (Ct) of a program  is calculated as a percentage and rounded to the 
nearest whole percent as: 
Ct = (3 × Cdry + 4 × Cdry;½ )/7                                                                                            Formula  (B.1) 
Where: 
Cdry : average condensation  efficien cy of the standard cotton  program at full load; 
Cdry;½  : average condensation efficient of the standard  cotton progr am at partial  load. 
 
B.2 – Calc ulation  of the condensat ion efficiency  (Cdry) 
The average condensation  efficiency  Cdry (and Cdry;½) is calculated  from the condensation efficien cies of 
test runs and expres sed as a perce ntage: 
 
 
   Formula (B.2)  
 
 
Where: 
 
n : is the number  of test runs, comprising at least three  valid test runs for the selected program. 
j : is the test run numb er. 
Wwj : is the mass of water collected  in the condenser reservoir during test run j. 
Wi : is the mass of the wet test load before drying. 
Wf : is the mass of the test load after drying
