This section has no associated Explanatory Memorandum

5.—(1) Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/2014 of 11 March 2019 supplementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to energy labelling of household washing machines and household washer-dryers and repealing Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1061/2010 and Commission Directive 96/60/EC(1), as modified by Schedule 2 to the Ecodesign for Energy-Related Products and Energy Information (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020, is amended as follows.

(2) In Article 3(1) (obligations of suppliers), for point (b) substitute—

(b)the information set out in Table 5 of Annex 5 (product information sheet for household washing machines) or, as the case may be, Table 6 of Annex 5 (product information sheet for household washer-dryers) is made available on a publicly accessible   website;.

(3) In Annex 1 (definitions applicable for the Annexes), after point (32) insert—

(33) ‘declared values’ means the values provided by the supplier in the technical documentation in accordance with point 1(d) of Annex 6 (household washing machines) or point 2(d) of Annex 6 (household washer-dryers) for the verification of conformity by the market surveillance authority;

(34) ‘wash and dry cycle’ means a complete cycle for cotton laundry—

(a)which is continuous if the household washer-dryer provides a continuous cycle;

(b)where the washing cycle is the eco 40-60 programme; and

(c)where the drying cycle achieves cupboard dry status..

(4) In Annex 4 (measurement methods and calculations)—

(a)after the first paragraph insert—

Where a calculation in this Annex uses a parameter listed in Table 7 of Annex 6 (technical documentation for household washing machines) or Table 8 of Annex 6 (technical documentation for household washer-dryers), the supplier must use the declared value for that parameter.;

(b)in point 1 (rated capacity of household washer-dryers), in the first sentence, for “shall be measured, using” substitute “is the rated capacity of”;

For household washing machines with a rated capacity higher than 3 kg and for the washing cycle of household washer-dryers with a rated washing capacity higher than 3 kg, the value to be entered on the Product Information sheet for IW is the lowest of the values for—

(a)the washing efficiency index at the rated washing capacity;

(b)the washing efficiency index at half of the rated washing capacity; and
