COMMISSION DELEGATED REGU LATION (EU) No ..../… 
implementing Council Directive 2010/../EU of  the European Parliament and of the 
Council with regard to energy labelling of household washing machines 
(Text with EEA relevance) 
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION, 
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Having regard to Directive 2010/../EU of the Eu ropean Parliament and of the Council on the 
indication by labelling and standard product in formation of the consumption of energy and 
other resources by energy related products
1, and in particular Article 11 thereof, 
Whereas: (1)  Directive 2010/../EU requi res the Commission to adopt de legated acts for the labelling 
of energy related products representing sign ificant potential for energy savings and 
presenting a wide disparity in performan ce levels with equivalent functionality. 
(2) Provisions for the energy labelling of hous ehold washing machines were established by 
Commission Directive 95/12/ EC of 23 May 1995 implementing Council Directive 
92/75/EEC with regard to energy labelli ng of household electric washing machines
2.  
(3) The electricity used by household washing machines accounts for a significant part of 
total household electricity demand in the Eu ropean Union. In addi tion to the energy 
efficiency improvements already achieved, the scope for further reducing the energy 
consumption of household washing machines is substantial. 
(4) Commission Directive 95/12/EC should be re placed in order to en sure that the energy 
label provides dynamic incentives for suppl iers to further improve the energy 
efficiency of household washing machines a nd to accelerate the ma rket transformation 
towards energy efficient technologies. 
(5) Household combined washer-driers are addressed in Direc tive 96/60/EC of 19 
September 1996 implementing Council Directiv e 92/75/EEC with re gard to energy 
labelling of household combined washer-driers3 and should therefore be exempted 
from the scope of this delegated Regulati on. However, considering that they offer 
similar functionalities as household washin g machines, a revision of Directive 
96/60/EC should take place as soon as possible. 
(6) The information provided on the label s hould be obtained through reliable, accurate 
and reproducible measurement procedures, which take into acc ount the recognised 
state of the art measurement methods includ ing, where available, harmonised standards

EN 3   EN adopted by the European standardisation bodies, as listed in Annex I to Directive 
98/34/EC of the European Parliament and of  the Council of 22 June  1998 laying down 
a procedure for the provision of information in the field of technical standards and 
regulations and of rules on Information Society services4. 
(7) This delegated Regulation should specify a uniform design and content for the label for 
household washing machines. 
(8) In addition, this delegated Regulation  should specify requirements as to the technical 
documentation and the fiche for household washing machines. 
(9) Moreover, this delegated Re gulation  should specify requirem ents as to the information 
to be provided for any form of distan ce selling, advertisements and technical 
promotional materials of household washing machines. 
(10) It is appropriate to provide for a review of the provisions of this delegated Regulation  
taking into account technological progress. 
(11) In order to facilitate the transition from Directive 95/12/EC to this delegated 
Regulation , provisions should be made that household washing machines labelled in 
accordance with this delegated Regulation sh ould be considered as compliant with 
Directive 95/12/EC.(12) Di rective 95/12/EC should therefore be repealed.

EN 24   EN ANNEX VII  
Verification procedure for ma rket surveillance purposes  
For the purposes of checking conformity with th e requirements laid down in Articles 3 and 4, 
Member State authorities shall test a single household washing machine. If the measured 
parameters do not meet the valu es declared by the supplier  within the ranges set out in Table 
1, the measurements shall be carried out on three more household washing machines. The arithmetic mean of the measured values of these three household washing machines shall meet the values declared by the supplier  within the range defined in Table 1, except for the 
energy consumption where the measured value sh all not be greater than the rated value of E
t 
by more than 6%.  
Otherwise, the model and all other equivalent household washing machines models shall be 
considered not to comply with the requirements laid down in Articles 3 and 4.  
Member States authorities shall use reliab le, accurate and reproducible measurement 
procedures, which take into account the gene rally recognised state of the art measurement 
methods, including methods set out in document s the reference numbers of which have been 
published for that purpose in the Offici al Journal of the European Union.
