AS/NZS 2007.2:2005.Performance of household electrical appliances – Dishwashers – Part 2: Energy efficiency labelling requirements.
1.1 SCOPE
This Standard specifies the energy efficiency labelling requirements for electric dishwashers intended for household and similar use. This Standard does not specify safety requirements.
In particular, this Standard specifies the following:
(a) Program for energy efficiency labelling and water efficiency labelling.
(b) Water connection mode.
(c) Comparative energy consumption (CEC).
(d) Star rating for energy efficiency labelling.
(e) Requirements for energy’ efficiency label validity.
(0 Performance criteria for energy efficiency labelling.
(g) Printing requirements for dishwasher energy efficiency labels.
(h) Format for the application for registration for energy efficiency labelling and water efficiency labelling.
2.2 TEST REQUIREMENTS AND PROCESSING OF DATA
2.2.1 Program for energy efficiency labclling
The supplier shall nominate the program for energy efficiency labelling. This shall be the program recommended in the product literature i.e. operating manual or user instructions, to wash a normally soiled load at rated capacity. This program shall meet the performance requirements of Section 3.
If there is a program named ‘Normal’ in the product literature and/or marked on the dishwasher, or one that implies normal such as ‘Universal’ or ‘Regular’. then that program shall be the one nominated as the program for washing a normally soiled load.
If there is more than one program recommended to wash a normally soiled load at rated capacity e.g. ‘Normal’, ‘Normal ceo’ and/or ‘Normal plus. then the washing index performance criteria of Section 3 shall be met by each of these programs.
2.2.2 Number of units required
For the purpose of determining the CEC of a model for labelling, three separate units of the nominated model shall be tested for energy consumption and standby power in accordance with Section 2 of AS/NZS 2007.1:2005. At the supplier’s discretion, more than three units may be tested.
