reference numbers are published for th at purpose in the Official Journal of the European 
Union, or any other reliable, accurate and reproducible methods, which take into account the 
generally recognised state -of-the-art and are in conformity  with the  provisions  of this Annex . 
Where a parameter is declared pursuant to Article 3(3) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1369  and in 
accordance with Table 4 of Annex VI,  its declared value shall be used by the supplier  for the 
calculations in this Annex.  
The eco programme shall be used for the measurement and calculation of the EEI, the 
condensation efficiency and the  programme duration.  Concurrently, t he energy consumption, 
condensation efficiency and programme duration shall also be measured.   
The stated rated capacity for the eco programme shall not be lower than the highest declared 
rated capacity among all the cotton programmes of the household tumble dryer.  
1. ENERGY  EFFICIENCY  INDEX  
For the calculation of the EEI of a household tumble dr yer model, the weighted  energy 
consumption  per drying cycle  for the eco programme at full and  partial load is compared to 
the standard energy consumption  per drying cycle . 
(a) The EEI is calculated as follows and rounded to one decimal place:  
𝐸𝐸𝐼 =𝐸𝑡𝐶
𝑆𝐸𝐶×100   
where:  
EtC = we ighted energy consumption per drying cycle ,  
SEC = standard energy consumption per drying cycle.  
(b) SEC is calculated in kWh as follows and rounded to two decimal places:  
(i) for household tumble dr yers other than air -vented  tumble dryers : 
𝑆𝐸𝐶=0,46×𝑐0,63 
(ii) for air -vented tumble dr yers: 
𝑆𝐸𝐶=0,46×𝑐0,63×(1−𝑇𝑡
60×0,083 ) 
where  
c is the rated capacity of the household tumble dr yer for the eco programme,  
Tt is the weighted programme duration  for the eco programme.  
(c) EtC is calculated in kWh as follows and rou nded to two decimal places:  
𝐸𝑡𝐶=0,24×𝐸𝑑𝑟𝑦+0,76×𝐸𝑑𝑟𝑦 ½ 
where   
EN 11  EN Edry = energy consumption of the eco programme at full load, in kWh and 
rounded to two decimal places,  
Edry½ = energy consumption of the eco programme at partial load, in kWh and 
rounded to two decimal places.  
(d) For gas -fired tumble dryers , Edry and E dry1/2 are calculated as follows  
𝐸𝑑𝑟𝑦=𝐸𝑔 𝑑𝑟𝑦
𝑓𝑔+𝐸𝑔 𝑑𝑟𝑦 ,𝑎 
𝐸𝑑𝑟𝑦 ½=𝐸𝑔 𝑑𝑟𝑦 ½
𝑓𝑔+𝐸𝑔 𝑑𝑟𝑦 ½,𝑎 
where  
Egdry = gas consumption of the eco programme at full load, in kWh and 
rounded to two decimal places,  
Egdry½ = gas consumption of the eco programme at partial load, in kWh 
and rounded to two decimal places,  
Egdry,a = auxiliary electricity consumption of the ec o programme at full 
load, in kWh and rounded to two decimal places,  
Egdry½,a  = auxiliary electricity consumption of the eco programme at 
partial load, in kWh and rounded to two decimal places,  
fg = 1,9. 
(e) Tt for the eco programme is calculated in minutes , rounded to the nearest 
minute , as follows :  
𝑇𝑡=0,24×𝑇𝑑𝑟𝑦+0,76×𝑇𝑑𝑟𝑦 ½ 
where  
Tdry = programme duration  for the eco programme at full load, in minutes and 
rounded to the nearest minute,  
Tdry½ = programme duration  for the eco programme at partial load, in minutes 
and rounded to the nearest minute.  
(f) The weighted energy consumption per 100 drying cycles of the household 
tumble dryer is calculated as follows and rounded to the nearest integer:  
ETc × 100   
2. CONDENSATION  EFFICIENCY   
The condensation efficiency of a programme (Ct) is the ratio between the mass of moisture 
condensed and collected in the container of a condenser tumble dr yer and the mass of 
moisture removed from the load by the programme, the latter being the difference b etween the 
mass of the wet test load before drying and the mass of the test load after drying.  
Ct is calculated as a percentage and rounded to the nearest whole percent as  follows :  
𝐶𝑡=0,24×𝐶𝑑𝑟𝑦+0,76×𝐶𝑑𝑟𝑦 ½ 
where   
EN 12  EN Cdry = average condensation efficiency of the eco programme at full load,  
Cdry½ = average condensation efficiency of the eco programme at partial load.  
3. LOW  POWER  MODES  
The power consumption of the off mode ( Po), standby mode ( Psm), and where applicable delay 
start ( Pds) are measured. The measured values are expressed in W and rounded to two decimal 
places.  
During measurements of the power consumption in low power modes, the following functions 
shall be checked and recorded:  
(a) the display or not of information;  
(b) the activation or not of a network connection.  
If the household tumble dry er provides for a wrinkle guard function, such function  shall be 
interrupted by opening the door  of the household tumble dryer , or any other appropriate 
intervention 15 minutes before  the measurement of energy consumption.  
4. ACOUSTIC  AIRBORNE  NOISE  EMISSION  
The acoustic airborne noise emission of the drying  phase of a household tumble dr yer shall be 
calculated for the eco programme at full load , using harmonised standards whose  reference  
numbers have been published for this purpose in the Official Journal of the European Union , 
or using other reliable, accurate and reproducible methods, which take into account the 
generally recognised state -of-the-art. 
Acoustic airborne  noise emissions shall be  measured in dB(A) with respect to 1 pW and shall 
be rounded to the nearest integer.

EN 22  EN ANNEX IX 
Verification procedure for market surveillance purposes  
1. The verification tolerances set out in this Annex relate only to the verification of the 
declared  values of parameters by Member State authorities and shall not be used by the 
supplier as an allowed tolerance to establish the values in the technical documentation  or 
in interpreting these values with a view to achieving a compliance or to communicate 
better performance by any means .  
2. The values and classes on the label or in the product information sheet  shall not be more 
favourable for the supplier th an the values reported in the technical documentation.  
3. Where a model has been designed  in such a way that it is  able to detect that it is being 
tested ( for example  by recognising the test conditions or test drying cycle), and to react 
specifically by autom atically altering its performance during the test with the objective 
of reaching a more favourable level for any of the parameters specified in this 
Regulation or included in the technical documentation or included in any of the 
documentation provided, the  model and all equivalent models shall be considered not 
compliant.  
4. In verifying the compliance of a product model with the requirements laid down in this 
Regulation, the authorities of Member States shall apply the following procedure:  
(a) the Member State authorities shall verify one single unit of the model.  
(b) the model shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements where it 
meets all the following conditions : 
(i) the declared values given in the technical documentation pursu ant to Article 
3(3) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 , and, where applicable, the values used 
to calculate such declared  values, are not more favourable for the supplier 
than the corresponding values given in the test reports;  
(ii) the values published on the label and in the product information sheet  are 
not more favourable for the supplier than the declared values, and the 
indicated energy efficiency class and the acoustic airborne noise emission  
class  are not more favourable for the supplier than the class d etermined by 
the declared values;  
(iii) the determined values , that it so say  the values of the relevant parameters as 
measured in testing and the values calculated from these measurements 
comply with the respective verification tolerances set out  in Table 6. 
5. Where  the results referred to in paragraph  4(b), points (i) or ( ii) are not achieved, the 
model and all equivalent models shall be considered not in compliance  with this 
Regulation.  
6. Where the result referred to in paragraph  4(b), point (iii)  is not achieved, or where  the 
test is not valid because the unit tested in compliance with the test conditions according 
to the relevant harmonised standards does not meet the requirements for a test to be 
valid as required by the relevant harmonised stand ards, the Member State authorities 
shall select three additional units of the same model for testing. As an alternative, the 
three additional units selected may be of one or more equivalent models.  
7. The model shall be considered to comply with the applicabl e requirements where for the 
three units  referred to in paragraph 6 , the arithmetical mean of the determined values 
complies with the respective tolerances set out in Table 6.    
EN 23  EN 8. Where the result referred to in paragraph 7  is not achieved, the model and all  equivalent 
models shall be considered not in compliance  with this Regulation.  That includes 
situations for which one of the three units referred to in paragraph 6, tested in 
compliance with the test conditions according to the relevant harmonised standard s does 
not meet the requirements for a test to be valid as required by the relevant harmonised 
standards . 
9. The Member State authorities shall provide all relevant information to the authorities of 
the other Member States and to the Commission without delay after a decision is taken 
on the non -compliance of the model pursuant paragraphs 2, 3, 5 or 8 . 
10. The Member State authorities shall use the measurement and calculation methods set out 
in Annex IV. 
11. The Member State authorities shall only apply the verificatio n tolerances that are set out 
in Table 6 and shall only use the proc edure described in paragraphs  1 to 8 for the 
requirements referred to in this Annex. For the parameters set out in Table 6 no other 
tolerances, such as those set out in harmonised standards or in any other measurement 
method, shall be applied.
