Verification procedure for market surveillance purposes

For the purposes of checking conformity with the 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 values 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 shall not be greater than the rated value of Et
  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 State authorities shall use reliable, accurate and reproducible measurement procedures, which take into account the generally recognised state-of-the-art measurement methods, including methods set out in documents the reference numbers of which have been published for that purpose in the Official Journal of the European Union.

time in ‘left-on mode’ of the standard 60 °C cotton programme at full load;

Tl,601⁄2

=

time in ‘left-on mode’ of the standard 60 °C cotton programme at partial load;

Tl,401⁄2

=

time in ‘left-on mode’ of the standard 40 °C cotton programme at partial load.

2.   CALCULATION OF THE WEIGHTED ANNUAL WATER CONSUMPTION

| (a) | The weighted annual water consumption (AWC) of a household washing machine is calculated in litres as follows and rounded up to the integer:

  AWc = Wt
  × 220
  where:







  Wt | = | weighted water consumption; |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 220 | = | total number of standard washing cycles per year. |

(a)

AWc = Wt
  × 220

where:

Wt

=

weighted water consumption;

220

=

total number of standard washing cycles per year.

| (b) | The weighted water consumption (Wt) is calculated in litres as follows and rounded up to the integer

  Wt
  = (3 × Wt,60
  - 2 × Wt,601⁄2
  - 2 × Wt,401⁄2
  )/7
  where:







  Wt,60 | = | water consumption of the standard 60 °C cotton programme at full load; |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Wt,601⁄2 | = | water consumption of the standard 60 °C cotton programme at partial load; |
| Wt,401⁄2 | = | water consumption of the standard 40 °C cotton programme at partial load. |

(b)

Wt
  = (3 × Wt,60
  - 2 × Wt,601⁄2
  - 2 × Wt,401⁄2
  )/7

where:

Wt,60

=

water consumption of the standard 60 °C cotton programme at full load;

Wt,601⁄2

=

water consumption of the standard 60 °C cotton programme at partial load;

Wt,401⁄2

=

water consumption of the standard 40 °C cotton programme at partial load.

3.   CALCULATION OF THE WEIGHTED REMAINING MOISTURE CONTENT

The weighted remaining moisture content (D) of a household washing machine is calculated in percentage as follows and rounded to the nearest whole percent:

D = (3 × D60
  - 2 × D601⁄2
  - 2 × D401⁄2
  )/7

where:

| D60 | is the residual moisture content for the standard 60 °C cotton programme at full load, in percentage and rounded to the nearest whole per cent; |
| --- | --- |
| D601⁄2 | is the residual moisture content for the standard 60 °C cotton programme at partial load, in percentage and rounded to the nearest whole per cent; |
| D401⁄2 | is the residual moisture content for the standard 40 °C cotton programme at partial load, in percentage and rounded to the nearest whole per cent. |

D60

is the residual moisture content for the standard 60 °C cotton programme at full load, in percentage and rounded to the nearest whole per cent;

D601⁄2

is the residual moisture content for the standard 60 °C cotton programme at partial load, in percentage and rounded to the nearest whole per cent;

D401⁄2

is the residual moisture content for the standard 40 °C cotton programme at partial load, in percentage and rounded to the nearest whole per cent.
