This European Standard specifies the test methods which shall be applied in accordance with the Directive 96/60/EC implementing Council Directive 92/75/EEC with regard to energy labelling of electric clothes washer-dryers for household use.
It deals with
- performance criteria, including energy and water consumption, for the 60 ℃ cotton wash programme as specified in EN 60456,
- energy and water consumption of the drying cycle based on the "Dry cotton programme" as specified in EN 61121,
- permitted tolerances to values declared by the manufacturer and control procedures for checking these declared values.
This European Standard is concerned neither with safety nor with performance requirements.
