The Emirates Authority for Standardization and Metrology (ESMA)  has a national 
responsibility for standardizati on activities. One of ESMA’s ma in functions is to issue 
Emirates Standards/Technical Regulation through specialized Tec hnical Committees. 
 
ESMA through the “Technical Commi ttee for Energy Efficiency and  Labeling” has updated 
the UAE Standard No. UAE.S 5010-6: 2015 Labeling – Energy Effici ency for Electrical 
Appliances Part 6: Dishwasher. 
 This Technical Regulation has been approved by Decree of UAE Ca binet No. ###:2018, 
held on ##/##/1439H, ##/##/2018.  
The approved Standard will replace and supersede the UAE.S 5010 -6:2015. UAE.S /FDS/ 5010‐6 : 2018

 INTRODUCTION 
 
With the UAE’s commitment to consumer safety, energy conservati on and environment 
protection, this regulation is developed to ensure that dishwas her are registered and 
monitored for their continuous compliance to the set specificat ions on: 
 
- Energy Consumption; 
- Water Consumption; 
 
 
The requirements set are based on accepted international specif ications. These are aligned 
with other countries in order for the manufacturer to easily co mply with the star rating of 
dishwasher.  UAE.S /FDS/ 5010‐6 : 2018

dishwasher household use. This standard also applies to those s old for built-in household 
dishwashers.  This document covers the requirements related to: 
 
- Energy Consumption; 
- Water Consumption; 
 
 Dishwasher intended for commercial purposes are not included.

any user programmed delay) until  all activity ceases (i.e. the end of the cycle) 
2.1.6. Place settings - defined set of crockery, glass and cutlery for use by one perso n 
 
For other terms and definitions, details mentioned in specific UAE standards per product 
scope shall apply.

VOLTAGE RATING FREQUENCY RATING 
230V 50Hz
 
1.3.2. Plug Requirements 
 
Products covered by this regulation, if supplied with an electr ical plug, shall be supplied with 
an electrical plug of BS 1363 type design that complies with th e UAE.S IEC 60881-1 standard.

4 Test Conditions and Standards 
 
4.1 Test Conditions 
 
In carrying out the tests as specified above, the unit shall be  tested at a voltage of 230V±2% 
and a frequency of 50Hz±1%. UAE.S /FDS/ 5010‐6 : 2018  
 
 P a g e  7 of 10  
 Moreover, the following test conditions shall be followed. And the cold water temperature 
should be 25±2˚C 
4.2 Test Methodology and Standards 
 
The tests specified in this regulation are required to be carri ed out, in accordance with UAE.S 
IEC 60436   to find out the energy efficiency and performance c haracteristics of a dishwasher 
with hard water. 
5 Measurements 
5.1 Measurement of Energy Consumption 
 
- The  Energy  Efficiency  Index  ( EEI)  of  a  household  dishwasher  shall  be      
calculated in accordance with : 
EEI  = ( Et / Ps ) * 1000 
 
where: 
Et = energy consumption for the standard cycle, in kWh and roun ded to three    
          decimal places 
 ps = number of place settings 
 
The energy efficiency class of a household dishwasher shall be determined on the    
basis of its Energy Efficiency Index ( EEI) as set out in Table 1. 
 
The annual energy consumption (AE c ) of a household dishwas her is calculated, in    
(KWh) and rounded up to the nearest integer, as: 
AEC  = Et× 280 
where: 
Et = energy consumption for the standard cycle, in kWh and rounded  to three              
decimal places; 
280 = total number of standard cleaning cycles per year. UAE.S /FDS/ 5010‐6 : 2018  
 
 P a g e  8 of 10  
  
5-2    Calculation of the annual water Consumption 
The annual water consumption (AWC) of a household dishwasher is  calculated, in    
liters and rounded up to the nearest integer, as: 
                                         AWC = Wt × 280 
where: 
Wt = water consumption for the standard cleaning cycle, in lite rs and rounded to one  
decimal place. 
 
Identifies Table (1) the efficiency of water consumption levels  in dishwashers, depending 
on the annual water consumption of the dishwasher.

Energy efficiency class Energy Efficiency Index Water  Efficiency Index (liter )
5 stars  (most efficient) EEI <  55 AWc < 2660    
4 stars 55  ≤ EEI <  65 2660 ≤ AWc < 2940
3 stars  65  ≤ EEI <  75  2940 ≤ AWc < 3220
2 stars 75  ≤ EEI <  85  3220 ≤ AWc < 3500 
1 stars(least efficient) 85  ≤ EEI < 95 3500 ≤ AWc  < 3920
6- Energy labeling requirements 
 
6.1   Label Location 
The labels should be self-adhesive to the appliance at a promin ent location. The client should

 6.2   Color Scheme and Dimensions  
The energy and water labels should be printed on  white-colored  self-adhesive   sheet 
material and should have color schemes and dimensions according  ESMA requirements (see 
annex 1). It should be printed in English and in Arabic. 
6.3    Following information shall be included in the label 
 
- Supplier's trade mark; 
- Supplier's model identifier 
- The energy efficiency class  
- The Water efficiency class - Annual Energy Consumption in kWh per year, rounded up to the nearest integer  
- Annual Water Consumption in liters per year , rounded up to t he nearest integer  
- rated capacity in standard place settings, for the standard c leaning cycle;,  
7 				Surveillance 	and	market	monitoring 	
 
A test report on one sample of the model shall be submitted. Ho wever,  if the  test results  of 
one  sample  indicate  that any of the  measured ( energy  cons umption, water consumption 
) is greater  than the rated value by more than 6 %,  Two more tests is required. In such case, 
for each individual test the values shall not be greater than t he rated values by more than 6 
%. Also, the information  on  the  energy label  shall be  base d  on  the  higher  values (lower 
efficiency)   UAE.S /FDS/ 5010‐6 : 2018
