M/049 - Household Dishwashers
Mandate to CENELEC for the elaboration and adoption of measurement standards for household dishwashers
Mandate M/049 tasks CENELEC with developing and adopting European measurement standards for household dishwashers. The aim is to establish harmonized methods for assessing dishwasher performance and related parameters to support regulatory requirements, enhance product comparability, and promote energy and water efficiency. This standardisation effort will facilitate compliance with EU directives and improve market transparency for consumers and manufacturers within the internal market.
Purpose
This mandate tasks CENELEC with developing and adopting harmonised measurement standards specifically for household dishwashers. The goal is to establish standardized methods to assess dishwasher performance attributes such as energy consumption, water use, cleaning efficiency, and other relevant criteria.
Standardisation request
CENELEC is requested to elaborate and adopt European standards that define how to measure various functional and environmental performance aspects of household dishwashers. These standards should be technically robust, consistent, and suitable for use in regulatory, market surveillance, and consumer information contexts.
Expected deliverables
- Harmonised standards for measuring household dishwasher performance.
- Clear and uniform test methods ensuring comparability across manufacturers and models.
- Standards that facilitate compliance with EU legislation related to product efficiency and sustainability.
Context
This mandate supports EU efforts to improve the environmental performance and transparency of household appliances. Standardised measurement methods underpin energy labelling, eco-design requirements, and help consumers make informed purchasing decisions. The involvement of CENELEC ensures alignment with existing European electrical and electronic equipment standards.
This mandate covers the development and adoption of measurement standards specifically for household dishwashers. It focuses on standardising testing and measurement methods to ensure consistency and reliability in evaluating the performance and efficiency of domestic dishwasher appliances.
