EEI = (EPEC / SPEC) x 100  
where:  
EPEC is the  eco programme  energy consumpt ion of the household dishwasher  in 
kWh/cycle and rounded to three decimal places ; 
SPEC is the  standard programme  energy consumption of the household dishwasher.  
(b) The S PEC is calculated in kWh/cycle and rounded to three decimal places  as 
follows:  
(i) for household dishwas hers with rated capacity ps ≥  10 and width > 50 cm : 
SPEC = 0.025 x ps + 1.350  
(ii) for household dishwas hers with rated capacity ps ≤  9 or width ≤ 50 cm : 
SPEC = 0.090 x ps + 0.450  
where ps is the  number of place settings . 
2. CLEANING EFFICIENCY INDEX  
For the calculation of the cleaning efficiency index (‘IC’) of a household dishwasher model, 
the cleaning efficiency of the eco programme is compared to the cleaning efficiency of a 
reference dishwasher .  
The I C is calculated as follows an d rounded to two decimal places:  
IC = exp (ln IC) 
and 
 
where:  
CT,i is the  cleaning efficiency of the eco programme of the household dishwasher under test 
for one test run (i), rounded to two decimal places;  
 
EN 9  EN CR,i is the cleaning efficiency of the reference dishwasher for one test run (i), rounded to two 
decimal places;  
n is the  number of test runs.  
3. DRYING PERFORMANCE  INDEX  
For the calculation of the drying performance index (‘ID’) of a household dishwasher model, 
the drying performance  of the  eco programme is compared to the drying  performance  of the  
reference dishwasher.  
The ID is calculated as follows and rounded to two decimal places:  
ID = exp (ln ID) 
and 
 
where:   
ID,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:  
ln𝐼𝐷,𝑖=ln⁡(𝐷𝑇,𝑖
𝐷𝑅,t) 
where:  
DT,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;  
DR,t is the target drying score of the reference dishwasher , rounded to two decimal places .

the values used to calculate these values, are not more favourable for the 
manufacturer or importer than the results o f the corresponding measurements 
carried out pursua nt to paragraph  (g) thereof;  
(b) the declared values meet any requirements laid down in this Regulation, and 
any required product information published by the manufacturer or importer 
does not contain values t hat are more favourable for the manufacturer or 
importe r than the declared values;  
(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 f rom these measurements) comply with the respective 
verification tolerances as gi ven in Table  1. 
(3) If the conditions  referred to in point  (2)(a) or (b) are not complied with , the model 
and all equivalent models shall be considered not to comply with this Regu lation.  
(4) If the condition  referred to in point  (2)(c) is not complied with , 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 .

2. Verification of resource efficiency parameters  
When verifying the compliance of a product model with  one of  the requirements referred to in 
point  5 of Annex  II, the following procedure shall apply:  
(1) Availability of necessary spare parts   
The verification of compliance to this requirement shall be planned by the Member States 
authorities  at one or more  times chosen ra ndomly in the following period:  
(a) more than two years after the first product of the model under verification is 
placed on the m arket;  
(b) less than seven years after the last product of the model under verif ication is 
placed on the market . 
The Member States authorities  shall : (i) check that the list of necessary spare parts and the 
procedure for ordering them are publicly available and check that the list of necessary spare 
parts cover the items listed in point (1); (ii) select  one or more of the items in the list of point  
EN 12  EN (1) and order the said item(s)  from the manufacturer or importer, follo wing the relevant 
procedure ; (iii)  check that the part delivered correspond s to the order  or to a satisfactory 
alternative . In the event that  the item s delivered do  not correspond to the order  or to a 
satisfactory alternative , the order shall be repeated.  
The manufacture or importer is considered as not complying with the  requirement on the 
availability of spare parts if the list of necessary spare parts or the procedure for ordering 
them are not publicly available, or if the necessary spare part s selected are not available for 
order or if the delivered item s do not correspond to the order for two separate orders of the 
same part s without acceptable justificati on or an event of force majeure . 
(2) Necessary s pare part s maximum delivery time  
Member State s authorities  shall verify that the necessary spare parts ordered under  the 
previous point  (1) have  been delivered within 15 working days . The date of the order shall be 
the starting date of the delivery  period. In the event that  the parts ordered are  delivered 
correctly but not within 15 working days , the Member States authorities  shall repeat the 
verification with another sample of necessary spare parts.  
A manufacturer or importer is considered as not complying with the requirement on the 
maximum de livery time  if, for the same product , three  discrete orders of necessary spare parts 
are not delivered within 15 working days  without acceptable justification of an event of force 
majeur e. 
(3) Access to Rep air and Maintenance Information  
Member States authorit ies shall check that the access to repair and maintenance in formation is 
provided  and includes the information requested. The Member States authorities  may organise 
a blind test  with a professional repairer meeting the  conditions listed under point  (3)(b) to 
verify that the information is accessible to professional repairers  in non -discriminatory 
conditions.  
A manufacturer or importer is considered as not complying with the  requirement on access to 
repair and maintenance information if the registration of  the professional repairer is rejected , 
or if the conditions of access are considered discriminatory  by the Member States authorities , 
or if the information is provided after 24 hours without an acceptable justification or an event 
of force majeure,  or if the information provided does not correspond to the information listed 
under point  (3)(c) or to the sub -set of information requested by the professional repairer on 
this list.  
(4) Information requirements for refrigerat ion gases  
Member States authorities  shall  access the relevant parts of the appliance (heat pump) and 
check that the chemical name , or an equivalent reference,  of the principal component of the 
refrigerant gas is visibly and legibly marked on the exterior of the appliance.  The Member 
States author ities shall ask the manufacturer to show evidence, for example through the 
documentation of chemicals used in production, that the name or reference corresponds to the 
refrigerant gas used for this model. A reference, other than the scientific name of the 
chemical, is considered equivalent if it is commonly used and understandable by recyclers in 
the Member State concerned.  More than one reference can be used for the same chemical if 
the manufacturer considers it useful.   
A manufacturer or importer is consi dered as not complying with the  requirement on 
information on refrigeration gases if no marking is found, or if (at least one of) the 
reference(s) used is not considered understandable or if there is no evidence that the 
refrigerant used corresponds to the  name or reference marked.  Where the refrigerant gas is in  
EN 13  EN the scope of  Regulation (EU) No 517/2014, the verification procedure implemented by the 
Member State in implementation of that Regulation replaces the procedure above .  
If the compliance of a manuf acturer or importer with the above -mentioned requirem ents is 
considered as un satisfactory  by the Member States authorities , the Member States authorities  
shall take appropriate measures to ensure compliance. The manufacturer shall then take 
corrective actions, amendments and/or supplements and provide proof of compliance as 
requested by the Member States authorities .
