For the purposes of checking conformity with the requirements laid down in Articles 3 and 4, Member State authorities shall test a single household dishwasher. 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 made on three more household dishwashers.

Otherwise, the model and all other equivalent household dishwasher 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.
a ‘Rated value’ means a value declared by the supplier. | |

Energy efficiency classes
Energy efficiency class | Energy Efficiency Index |
---|---|
A+++ (most efficient) | EEI < 50 |
A++ | 50 ≤ EEI < 56 |
A+ | 56 ≤ EEI < 63 |
A | 63 ≤ EEI < 71 |
B | 71 ≤ EEI < 80 |
C | 80 ≤ EEI < 90 |
D (least efficient) | EEI ≥ 90 |
The drying efficiency class of a household dishwasher shall be determined on the basis of its Drying Efficiency Index (ID ) as set out in Table 2.
The Drying Efficiency Index (ID ) shall be calculated in accordance with point 2 of Annex VII.
Drying efficiency classes
Drying efficiency class | Drying Efficiency Index |
---|---|
A (most efficient) | ID > 1,08 |
B | 1,08 ≥ ID > 0,86 |
C | 0,86 ≥ ID > 0,69 |
D | 0,69 ≥ ID > 0,55 |

For the calculation of the Energy Efficiency Index (EEI) of a household dishwasher model, the annual energy consumption of the household dishwasher is compared to its standard annual energy consumption.
The Energy Efficiency Index (EEI) is calculated as follows and rounded to one decimal place:
where:
=
annual energy consumption of the household dishwasher;
=
standard annual energy consumption of the household dishwasher.
The annual energy consumption (AEc ) is calculated in kWh/year as follows and rounded to two decimal places:
where:
=
energy consumption for the standard cycle, in kWh and rounded to three decimal places;
=
power in ‘left-on mode’ for the standard cleaning cycle, in W and rounded to two decimal places;
=
power in ‘off-mode’ for the standard cleaning cycle, in W and rounded to two decimal places;
=
programme time for the standard cleaning cycle, in minutes and rounded to the nearest minute;
=
total number of standard cleaning cycles per year;
Where the household dishwasher is equipped with a power management system, with the household dishwasher reverting automatically to ‘off-mode’ after the end of the programme, AEC is calculated taking into consideration the effective duration of ‘left-on mode’, according to the following formula:
where:
=
measured time in ‘left-on mode’ for the standard cleaning cycle, in minutes and rounded to the nearest minute;
=
total number of standard cleaning cycles per year.
The standard annual energy consumption (SAEC ) is calculated in kWh/year as follows and rounded to two decimal places:
for household dishwashers with rated capacity ps ≥ 10 and width > 50 cm:
SAEC = 7,0 × ps + 378
for household dishwashers with rated capacity ps ≤ 9 and household dishwashers with rated capacity 9 < ps ≤ 11 and width ≤ 50 cm:
SAEC = 25,2 × ps + 126
where:
=
number of place settings.
For the calculation of the Drying Efficiency Index (ID ) of a household dishwasher model, the drying efficiency of the household dishwasher is compared to the drying efficiency of a reference dishwasher, where the reference dishwasher shall have the characteristics indicated in 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.
The Drying Efficiency Index (ID ) is calculated as follows and rounded to two decimal places:
ID = exp(lnID )
where:
=
drying efficiency of the household dishwasher under test for one test cycle (i);
=
drying efficiency of the reference dishwasher for one test cycle (i);
=
number of test cycles, n ≥ 5.
The drying efficiency (D) is the average of the wet score of each load item after completion of a standard cleaning cycle. The wet score is calculated as shown in Table 1:
Number of water traces (WT) or wet streak (WS) | Total wet area (Aw) in mm2 | Wet score |
---|---|---|
WT = 0 and WS = 0 | Not applicable | 2 (most efficient) |
1 < WT ≤ 2 or WS = 1 | Aw < 50 | 1 |
2 < WT or WS = 2 or WS = 1 and WT = 1 | Aw > 50 | 0 (least efficient) |
The annual water consumption (AWC ) of a household dishwasher is calculated, in litres and rounded up to the nearest integer, as:
AWC = Wt × 280
where:
=
water consumption for the standard cleaning cycle, in litres and rounded to one decimal place.
