It deals with – performance criteria, including energy and water consumption, for the 60 °C cotton wash programme as specified in EN 60456:2005, – energy and water consumption of the drying cycle based on the “Dry cotton programme“ as specified in EN 61121:2005, – permitted tolerances to values declared by the manufacturer and control procedures for checking these declared values. This European Standard is concerned neither with safety nor with performance requirements. NOTE Washer-dryers for communal use in blocks of flats or in launderettes are within the scope of this standard, but machines for commercial laundries are not included. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

If the rated capacity is not declared, the rated capacity for a cotton load shall be deduced from the volume of the drum according to the following ratio: – horizontal drum washing machine Copyright European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization Provided by IHS under license with CENELEC No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS 1 kg / 13 l. Not for Resale EN 50229:2007 -6- If the rated capacity for easy care textiles and woollens is not specified by the manufacturer, the load shall be respectively 40 % and 20 % of that for cotton. When the manufacturer gives a range of values for the rated capacity for a particular textile type, the highest value shall be used. NOTE For different textile types the rated capacity of an appliance is usually different. 6 General conditions for measurements See Clause 5 of EN 60456, however 5.2.2 and 5.2.3 are modified and 5.2.4 is added as follows: 6.2.2 Water supply Delete the last paragraph of Subclause 5.2.2 of EN 60456: “for appliances without heating element…”. 6.2.3 Ambient temperature The ambient temperature shall be in accordance with Subclause 6.2.3 in EN 61121. 6.2.4 Ambient humidity The ambient humidity shall be in accordance with Subclause 6.2.4 in EN 61121. 7 Materials See Clause 6 of EN 60456.

It also specifies the method for the determination of the duration of these cycles and of the complete operating cycle. NOTE The tests in this clause may be combined with the tests in 9.1 and 9.2. 9.4.2 Washing cycle The measurement shall be carried out in accordance with Subclause 5.1 and Clause 11 of EN 60456. 9.4.3 9.4.3.1 Drying cycle General The mass of the conditioned base load is recorded as W0. The number of valid drying cycles shall be five. 9.4.3.2 Procedure a) A washing cycle shall be performed according to 9.1. b) Immediately when the washing cycle is finished the strips are removed from the test load and the initial mass of the base load is recorded in kg as Wi. The actual initial moisture content is calculated as: µi = Wi − W0 ×100 W0 (1) where c) µI is the actual initial moisture content, Wi is the actual initial mass of the base load after the washing cycle, W0 is the mass of the conditioned base load. The base load Wi shall be dried under the conditions specified below (dry cotton) to nominal final moisture content µ fo = 0 %, allowable range for µ fo: -3 % to +3 %. 1) [Table 3 in Subclause 9.2.1 of EN 61121] The base load shall be divided according to the instruction of the manufacturer. If no instruction is given and the rated drying capacity is lower than the rated washing capacity, the base load is divided in nearly equal partial loads each part not being above the rated drying capacity. The division of the base load shall be according to Annex A. In this case all items of the base load shall be marked before starting the washing cycle, in order to identify to which partial load each item belongs. The partial loads shall consist of the same items throughout the test. 2) Within 5 min after finishing the washing cycle the drying of the first partial load has to be started. The other partial load(s) shall be kept in (a) closed plastic bag(s). For washer-dryers with automatic drying the programme under test is selected and the washer dryer is started. For washer-dryers without automatic drying the timer is set to obtain the final moisture given above under c). The time required for this is determined by monitoring the drying process. This can be done by either having the washer dryer placed on a platform scale or by pre-testing. --`,,```,,,,````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`--- Copyright European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization Provided by IHS under license with CENELEC No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS Not for Resale -8- EN 50229:2007 d) 3) When the programme has terminated and the washer-dryer has stopped, the partial load is then removed within 5 min and immediately weighed. This weight is recorded as Wfp1. 4) Within 5 min after finishing the drying of the first partial load the drying of the second partial load shall be started. Immediately after drying its weight is recorded as Wfp2. 5) The remaining partial load(s), if any, shall be dried as described in 4), the weight recorded as Wfp3, etc. After drying of all partial loads the following measurements shall be carried out: 1) Drying time The drying time in min is the sum of the drying times of all partial loads including the cool down period(s) measured during the tests according to 9.4.3.2 c). lf the washer-dryer has no cool down period, it shall be reported. The drying time does not include the 5 min preparation time as specified in item 2) and item 4) of 9.4.3.2 c). 2) Energy consumption of the drying cycle The energy consumption is the sum of the energy consumption of the partial loads measured during the tests according to 9.4.3.2 c) and reported in kWh. 3) Water consumption of the drying cycle The water consumption, if any, is the sum of the water consumption of the partial loads measured during the tests according to 9.4.3.2 c) and reported in litres [l]. 4) Calculation of the mass of the base load The mass of the base load after drying, the final mass Wf , is calculated according to the following formula: n W f = ∑ W fpn (2) 1 where 5) Wf is the final mass of the base load in kg after drying, Wfpn are the mass of the partial loads 1 to n in kg after drying. The final moisture content The moisture content µ f is calculated as follows: µf = i) W f − W0 W0 ×100 (3) Washer-dryer without automatic drying: If µ f , calculated according to formula (3), is within the allowable range as specified above under c), the test cycle is valid and the values are corrected as described under 9.4.3.3. If µ f is not within the limits, the data shall not be used for evaluation. Such a test cycle can be considered to be a trial or pre-testing cycle. When the washer-dryer does not reach the required moisture content after its maximum drying time the fact is reported and the test is stopped. ii) Washer-dryer with automatic drying: When the final moisture content µ f of a drying cycle is below the upper limit of the allowable range given above under c) the drying cycle is valid and the values are corrected as described under 9.4.3.3. --`,,```,,,,````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`--- Copyright European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization Provided by IHS under license with CENELEC No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS Not for Resale -9- EN 50229:2007 When the final moisture content µ f is above the upper limit of the allowable range the drying cycle is not valid and has to be retested using a program which has the next lower final moisture content (e.g. use “extra dry" instead of “dry cotton”). This shall be stated in the report. If there is no program available which gives a lower final moisture content the fact is reported and the test is stopped. When the final moisture content µ f is below the lower limit of the allowable range given above under c) the values are not corrected. 9.4.3.3 9.4.3.3.1 Evaluation Drying time tD = tm (µ (µ i − µf0) i −µf ) × W W0 (4) where tD is the corrected drying time in min, tm is the measured drying time in min, µ fo is the nominal final moisture content as given in 9.4.3.2 c), without tolerances, µf is the final moisture content calculated according to formula 3, W is the rated washing capacity in kg, W0 is the mass of the conditioned base load in kg. 9.4.3.3.2 Energy consumption The energy consumption measured in 9.4.3.2 d) 2) is corrected by the following formula: E D = Em (µ − µ ) W (µ − µ ) × W i f0 i f 0 (5) where ED is the corrected energy consumption for the drying cycle in kWh, Em is the measured energy consumption in kWh. 9.4.3.3.3 Water consumption The water consumption measured in 9.4.3.2 d) 3) is corrected by the following formula: L D = Lm (µ (µ i − µf0) i −µf ) × W W0 (6) where LD is the corrected water consumption for the drying cycle in litres [l], Lm is the measured water consumption in litres [l].
