1016/2010 and 1059/2010: Domestic dishwashers
Last updated: 30 January 2020
In December 2019, revised ecodesign and labelling requirements werre published, taking effect on March 1, 2021.
The new requirements include:
- Ecodesign requirements regarding resource efficiency, such as requirements for repairability, mandatory access to spare parts, and good recoverability.
- New scale for energy labelling. The old scale from A+++ to D will be replaced with a new scale from A to G.
Ecodesign requirements
The ecodesign regulations set requirements for the energy efficiency index, washing efficiency index, drying efficiency index, and information requirements for electric dish washers for usage in households.
Energy labelling
The energy efficiency for electric dishwashers is labelled with a scale from A+++ to D, where A+++ is the most efficient. The label is also required to indicate the dishwasher’s yearly energy usage, yearly water usage, drying efficiency class, number of standard envelopes for the standard washing cycle, and noise level.
