1. RATED CAPACITY OF WASHER -DRYERS  
The rated capacity of washer -dryers shall be measur ed, using the ‘wash and dry’ 
complete programme.  
If the household washer -dryer provides continuous complete  cycles, the rated

machine or the washing cycle of the h ousehold washer -dryer ; 
SCE C is the  standard cycle energy consumption of the household washing 
machine or the washing cycle of the household washer -dryer .

the fo llowing equations:  
𝐴 = −0,0391  𝑥 𝑐+0,6918  
𝐵 = −0,0109 𝑥 𝑐+0,3582  
𝐶 = 1−(𝐴 +𝐵 ) 
where: 
c is the rated capacity of the washing machine or the washing rated capacity of 
the washer dryer.  
2.2. Energy Efficiency Index of the complete  cycle of household washer -dryers  
For the calculation of the Energy Efficiency Index (C ) of a household washer -dryer 
model, the weighted energy  consumption of the ‘wash and dry ’ programme at full 
and half loads is compared to its standard  cycle energy consumption.  
(a) The C is calculated as follows, and is rounded to one decimal place:  
C = (Ed / SC) x 100  
where:  
Ed = weighted cycle energy consumption of the household washer -dryer;  
SC = standard cycle energy consumption of the household washer -dryer.  
(b) The S c is calculated in kWh per cycle and rounded to three  decimal places as 
follows:  
SC = –0,0502 x d2 + 1,1742 x d – 0,644 
where d  is the rated capacity of the household washer -dryer for the ‘wash and 
dry’ programme . 
(c) The weighted energy consumption ( Ed) is calculated in kWh per cycle  as

i.e. at half the rated capacity  and rounded to three  decimal places . 
3. WEIGHTED WATER CONSUMPTION  
(1) The weighted water consumption (W t) of a household washing machine  or the 
washing cycle of a household washer -dryer is calculated in litres and rounded

where:  
Wt,full is the water consumption  of the ‘eco 40-60’ programme at rated washing 
capacity,  in litres and rounded to  one decimal place ;  
Wt,½ is the water consumption  of the ‘eco 40-60’ programme at half of the  rated 
washing capacity, in litres and rounded  to one decimal place ;

Verification procedure for market surveillance purposes  
The verification tolerances set out in this Annex relate only to the verification of the measured 
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. T he values and classes on the 
label or in the product fiche shall not be more favourable for the supplier than the values 
reported in the technical documentation.  
When verifying the compliance of a product model with the requirements laid down in this 
Regu lation, for the requirements referred to in this Annex, the authorities of the Member 
States shall apply the following procedure:  
1. The Member State authorities shall verify one single unit of the model.  
2. The model shall be considered to comply with the app licable requirements if:  
(a) the values given in the technical documentation pursuant to Article  3(3) of 
Regulation (EU)  2017/1369  (declared values), and, where applicable, the 
values used to calculate these values, are not more favourable for the supplier 
than the corresponding values given in the test reports and  
(b) the values published on the label and in the product fiche are not more 
favourable for the supplier than the declared values, and the indicated energy 
efficiency class is not more favourable for th e supplier than the class 
determined by the declared values; and  
(c) when the Member State authorities test the unit of the model, the determined 
values (the values of the relevant parameters as measured in testing and the 
values calculated from these measure ments) comply with the respective 
verification tolerances as given in Table  8.  
3. If the results referred to in points  2(a) or  (b) are not achieved, the model and all 
models that have been listed as equivalent household washing machine or household 
washer -dryer  models in the supplier's technical documentation shall be considered 
not to comply with this Regulation.  
4. If the result referred to in point  2(c) is not achieved, the Member State authorities 
shall select three additional units of the same mod el for testing. As an alternative, the 
three additional units selected may be of one or more different models that have been 
listed as equivalent models in the supplier's technical documentation.  
5. The model shall be considered to comply with the applicable  requirements if for 
these three units, the arithmetical mean of the determined values complies with the 
respective tolerances given in Table  8.  
6. If the result referred to in point  5 is not achieved, the model and all models that have 
been listed as equiva lent household washing machine or household washer -dryer  
models in the supplier's technical documentation shall be considered not to comply 
with this Regulation.  
7. 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 
being taken on the non -compliance o f the model according to points  3 and  6. 
Member States' authorities shall use measurement procedures which take into account the 
generally recognis ed, state -of-the-art, reliable, accurate and reproducible measurement EN 35  EN methods, including methods set out in documents whose reference numbers have been 
published for that purpose in the Official Journal of the European Union . The Member State 
authorities s hall use the measurement and calcul ation methods set out in Annex III.  
The Member State authorities shall only apply the verification tolerances that are set out in 
Table 8 and shall only use the procedure described in points 1 to 7 for the requirements 
referred to in this Annex. No other tolerances, such as those set out in harmonised standards 
or in any other measurement method, shall be applied.

Multi -drum household washing machines  
For m ulti-drum household washing machines , the provisions of Annexes  II and  IV to this 
Regulation , following the measurement  and calculation methods set out in Annex  III, shall apply 
to any drum  with a rated capacity equal to or larger than 3  kg in m ulti-drum household washing 
machine s, with the exception of drums with a rated capacity smaller than 4  kg and proposing no 
programme for normally soiled cotton laundr y and no programme with a nominal temperature 
above 30  °C. 
Where applicable as per the previous paragraph, the provisions of Annex IV  shall apply to each 
of the drums  independently, except when the drums are built in the same casing  and can only 
operate si multaneously in all programmes, in which case the provisions of Annex IV  shall apply  
to the multi -drum household washing machine  as a whole , as follows:  
(a) the energy and water consumption of the overall household washing machine is the total 
of the energy , respectively  water consumption , of each drum  (summing up rated 
capacity and considering overall energy ); 
(b) the Energy Efficiency Index (EEI) is calculated considering the overall rated capacity 
and energy consumption ; 
(c) the duration is the common duration of all programmes operating simultaneously;  
(d) the acoustic airborne noise emissions measurement and class  apply to the whole 
washing machine.  
The product information sheet and the technical documentation shall include and present jointly 
the information require d under Annex  V and Annex  VI respectively, for all the drums to which 
the provisions of Annex  IV apply.  
The provi sions of Annexes  VII and  VIII apply to each of the drums to which the provisions of 
Annex  IV apply.  
The verifica tion procedure set out in Annex  IX applies to the multi -drum household washing 
machine as a whole, with the verification tolerances applying to each of the parameter s 
determine d in application of this annex.
