Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 392/2012Show full title

1. The information in the product fiche of household tumble driers shall be given in the following order and shall be included in the product brochure or other literature provided with the product: U.K.

(a)

supplier’s name or trade mark;

(b)

supplier’s model identifier, which means the code, usually alphanumeric, which distinguishes a specific household tumble drier model from other models with the same trade mark or supplier’s name;

(c)

rated capacity in kg of cotton laundry for the standard cotton programme at full load;

(d)

whether the household tumble drier is an air-vented, condenser or gas-fired household tumble drier;

(e)

energy efficiency class in accordance with point 1 of Annex VI;

(f)

for electric mains-operated household tumble drier:

the weighted Annual Energy Consumption (AE_c ) rounded up to one decimal place; it shall be described as: ‘Energy consumption “X” kWh per year, based on 160 drying cycles of the standard cotton programme at full and partial load, and the consumption of the low-power modes. Actual energy consumption per cycle will depend on how the appliance is used.’;

for household gas-fired tumble drier:

• the weighted Annual Energy Consumption (AE_C(Gas) ) rounded up to one decimal place; it shall be described as: ‘Energy consumption “X” kWh-Gas per year, based on 160 drying cycles of the standard cotton programme at full and partial load. Actual energy consumption per cycle will depend on how the appliance is used’;

  and

• the weighted Annual Energy Consumption (AE_C(Gas)el ) rounded up to one decimal place; it shall be described as: ‘Energy consumption “X” kWh per year, based on 160 drying cycles of the standard cotton programme at full and partial load, and the consumption of the low-power modes. Actual energy consumption per cycle will depend on how the appliance is used.’;

(g)

whether the household tumble drier is an ‘automatic tumble drier’ or ‘non-automatic tumble drier’;

(h)

where the household tumble drier has been awarded an ‘EU Ecolabel award’ [F1 before IP completion day] under Regulation (EC) No 66/2010, this information may be included;

(i)

the energy consumption (E_dry , E_dry½ , Eg_dry , Eg_dry½ , Eg_dry,a , Eg_dry½,a ) of the standard cotton programme at full and partial load;

(j)

the power consumption of the off-mode (P_o ) and of the left-on mode (P_l ) for the standard cotton programme at full load;

(k)

if the household tumble drier is equipped with a power management system, the duration of the ‘left-on mode’;

(l)

indication that the ‘standard cotton programme’ used at full and partial load is the standard drying programme to which the information in the label and the fiche relates, that this programme is suitable for drying normal wet cotton laundry and that it is the most efficient programme in terms of energy consumption for cotton;

(m)

the weighted programme time (T_t ) of the ‘standard cotton programme at full and partial load’ in minutes and rounded to the nearest minute as well as the programme time of the ‘standard cotton programme at full load’ (T_dry ) and the programme time of the ‘standard cotton programme at partial load’ (T_dry½ ) in minutes and rounded to the nearest minute;

(n)

if the household tumble drier is a condenser tumble drier, the condensation efficiency class in accordance with point 2 of Annex VI, expressed as ‘condensation efficiency class ‘X’ on a scale from G (least efficient) to A (most efficient)’; this may be expressed by other means provided it is clear that the scale is from G (least efficient) to A (most efficient);

(o)

if the household tumble drier is a condenser tumble drier, the average condensation efficiency C_dry and C_dry½ of the standard cotton programme at full load and partial load and the weighted condensation efficiency (C_t ) for the ‘standard cotton programme at full and partial load’, as a percentage and rounded to the nearest whole percent;

(p)

the sound power level (weighted average value — L_WA) expressed in dB and rounded to the nearest integer for the standard cotton programme at full load;

(q)

if the household tumble drier is intended to be built-in, an indication to this effect.
