EN 4  EN ANNEX III  
Method for calculating the Energy Efficiency Index  
For the purposes of compliance and verification of compliance with the requirements of this 
Regulation, measurements and calculations shall be made using harmonised standards the 
reference numbers of which have been published for this purpose in the Offici al Journal of the 
European Union , or other reliable, accurate and reproducible methods, which takes into 
account the generally recognised state -of-the-art, and in line with the following provisions.  
Numbers shall be rounded in accordance with B.3 Rule B of  ISO 80000 -1:2009. If the 
rounding takes place in decimals , the omitted places shall not be filled with zeros . 
For the calculation of the Energy Efficiency Index ( ‘EEI’) of a h ousehold dishwasher model, 
the e co programme  energy consumption ( ‘EPEC’) of the household dishwasher is compared 
to its standard programme  energy consumption ( ‘SPEC’). 
(a) The EEI is calculated as follows and rounded to one decimal place:  
EEI = (EPEC / SPEC) x 100  
where:  
EPEC is the  eco programme energy consumption of the househo ld dishwasher  in 
kWh/cycle and rounded to three decimal places ; 
SPEC is the  standard programme energy consumption of the household dishwasher.  
(b) The SPEC is calculated in kWh/cycle and rounded to three decimal places  as 
follows:  
(1) for household dishwash ers with rated capacity ps ≥ 10 and width > 50 cm : 
SPEC = 0,025 x ps + 1, 350 
(2) for household dishwashers with rated capacity ps ≤ 9 or width ≤ 50 cm : 
SPEC = 0,090 x ps + 0, 450 
where ps is the  number of place settings .

EN 15  EN ANNEX IX 
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 information sheet  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 
Regulation, 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 applicable 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 information sheet  are 
not more favourable for the supplier than the declared values, and the 
indicated energy efficiency class is no t more favourable for the 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 calcu lated from these measurements) comply with 
the respective verificati on tolerances as given in Table  4.  
(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 dishwasher  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 model for testi ng. 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 requirement s if for 
these three units, the arithmetical mean of the determined values complies with the 
respe ctive tolerances given in Table  4.  
(6) If the re sult referred to in point  5 is not achieved, the model and all models that have 
been listed as equivalent househo ld dishwasher  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 of the mod el according to points  3 and  6. 
Member States' authorities shall use measurement procedures which take into account the 
generally recognised, state -of-the-art, reliable, accurate an d reproducible measurement 
methods, including methods set out in documents whose reference numbers have been  
EN 16  EN published for that purpose in the Official Journal of the European Union . The Member State 
authorities shall use the measurement and calcul ation me thods set out in Annex  III.  
The Member State authorities shall only apply the verification toler ances that are set out in 
Table  4 and shall only use th e procedure described in points  1 to 7 for the requirements 
referred to in this Annex. No other toleranc es, such as those set out in harmonised standards 
or in any other measurement method, shall be applied.
