From 1 year after the entry into force, the domestic range hoods with a maximum air flow in any of the available settings higher than 650 m³/h shall automatically revert to an air flow lower than or equal to 650 m³/h in a time t_limit as defined in Annex II.

1.3.3. Low power modes for domestic range hoods

(1) From 18 months after the entry into force:

• Power consumption in ‘off mode’: the power consumption in any off-mode condition shall not exceed 1,00 W.

• Power consumption in ‘standby mode(s)’:

  • The power consumption in any condition providing only a reactivation function, or providing only a reactivation function and a mere indication of enabled reactivation function, shall not exceed 1,00 W.

  • The power consumption of equipment in any condition providing only information or status display, or providing only a combination of reactivation function and information or status display, shall not exceed 2,00 W.

• Availability of ‘off mode’ and/or ‘standby mode’: domestic range hoods shall provide ‘off mode’ and/or ‘standby mode’, and/or another condition which does not exceed the applicable power consumption requirements for ‘off mode’ and/or ‘standby mode’ when the equipment is connected to the mains power source.

(2) From 3 years and 6 months after the entry into force:

• Power consumption in ‘off mode’: the power consumption in any off-mode condition shall not exceed 0,50 W.

• Power consumption in ‘standby mode(s)’: the power consumption in any condition providing only a reactivation function, or providing only a reactivation function and a mere indication of enabled reactivation function, shall not exceed 0,50 W.

  The power consumption of equipment in any condition providing only information or status display, or providing only a combination of reactivation function and information or status display shall not exceed 1,00 W.

• Power management: when domestic range hoods are not providing the main function, or when other energy-using product(s) are not dependent on its functions, equipment shall, unless inappropriate for the intended use, offer a power management function, or a similar function, that switches equipment after the shortest possible period of time appropriate for the intended use of the equipment, automatically into:

  • ‘standby mode’, or

  • ‘off mode’, or

  • another condition which does not exceed the applicable power consumption requirements for ‘off mode’ and/or ‘standby mode’ when the equipment is connected to the mains power source.

• The power management function shall be activated before delivery.

• For range hoods with automatic functioning mode during the cooking period and fully automatic range hoods, the delay time after which the product switches automatically into the modes and conditions as referred to in the previous point shall be one minute after the motor and lighting have both been switched off either automatically or manually.

1.3.4. Illumination of the lighting

From 1 year after entry into force, for range hoods which provide for lighting of the cooking surface, the average illumination of the lighting system on the cooking surface (E_middle) shall be higher than 40 lux when measured under standard conditions.

2. PRODUCT INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS

From 1 year after entry into force, the following product information shall be provided in the technical documentation of the product, the booklet of instructions and on the free access websites of manufacturers of domestic ovens, hobs and range hoods, their authorised representatives, or importers:

(a)

short title or reference to the measurement and calculation methods used to establish compliance with the above requirements;

(b)

information relevant to users in order to reduce total environmental impact (e.g. energy use) of the cooking process.

From 1 year after entry into force, the technical documentation and a part for professionals of the free access websites of manufacturers, their authorised representatives, or importers shall contain information relevant for non-destructive disassembly for maintenance purposes and information relevant for dismantling, in particular in relation to the motor, if applicable, and any batteries, recycling, recovery and disposal at end-of-life.
