Details
- Type:
- Technical specification
- ID:
- 10042:1
- Group:
- Tumble dryers
Criterion text
Tumble dryers must meet at least Class A+ energy efficiency for tumble dryers in accordance with regulation (EU) No 392/2012 supplementing Directive 2010/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council regarding energy labelling of household tumble dryers.
Verification
- Energy label in accordance with regulation (EU) No 392/2012.
- Other documentation that shows the energy labelling class, such as information sheets
Proposed follow-up
Ensure that tumble driers supplied under the contract correspond to the energy-efficient models requested in the tender by checking the energy labels and ensuring that the energy efficiency class complies with the requirement.
Information about the criterion
A new proposal for energy labelling of tumble dryers was submitted in July 2019 but has not yet been adopted as an updated regulation. The criterion will be updated with an energy efficiency class in accordance with the new regulation when it comes into force. Until then, the energy efficiency class according to the current regulation will apply.
Environmental goals
Motive
Energy use in the user phase is part of the environmental impact of the appliance. Buying energy efficient tumble dryers thus reduces the environmental impact from the user phase.
