Re: Petition for Waiver and Application for Interim Waiver of 10 CFR 

430.27 concerning the measurement of water and energy used in the 

water softening regeneration process of Dishwasher having an Integrated 

Water Softener. 

To all concerned 

BSH Home Appliance Corporation is submitting both a Petition for Waiver and 

Application for Interim Waiver, pursuant to 10 CFR 430.27, to the US Department 

of Energy concerning the test procedure 10 CFR Part 430, Subpart B, App C for 

measuring energy consumption of Dishwashers. 

The request for Waiver is directed to Dishwashers containing a built-in or 

integrated water softener. This request for Waiver's is a follow-up to a basically 

identical waiver previously granted to BSH (Waiver Case No. DW-005). This new 

waiver application is only to add additional models with the same Water 

Softening technology. 

It is a requirement of 10 CFR 430.27 that when applying for Interim Waiver or 

Petition for Waiver that all know manufacturers of domestically marketed units of 

the same product type to be notified and provided a copy of the Petition for 

Waiver and Application for Interim Waiver. 
The Assistant Secretary, Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy will receive 

and consider timely written comments from stakeholders on the application for 

Interim Waiver and the Petition for Waiver. 

In this case, the Petition for Waiver and application for Interim Waiver are being 

filed jointly and are attached. Comments should be directed to The Assistant 

Secretary, Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (cathy.zoi@ee.doe.gov). 

According to the regulations, BSH Home Appliances should also receive copies 

of any comments submitted to The Assistant Secretary, Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy. Comments sent to BSH Home Appliances should be 

addressed as shown in the contact information directly below. 

With Best Regards,
