665/2013 - Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 665/2013 of 3 May 2013 supplementing Directive 2010/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to energy labelling of vacuum cleaners
Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 665/2013 supplements Directive 2010/30/EU concerning energy labelling of electric mains-operated vacuum cleaners, including hybrid models. It excludes wet, wet and dry, battery-operated, robot, industrial, central vacuum cleaners, floor polishers, and outdoor vacuums. The regulation mandates suppliers to provide a printed energy label, product fiche, and technical documentation from 1 September 2014, detailing energy efficiency, cleaning performance, dust re-emission, and sound power level using reliable and harmonized measurement methods. Dealers must display labels visibly at the point of sale and ensure energy efficiency information is included in advertisements and promotional materials when energy or price is referenced. The regulation introduces a timetable for labelling, with updated label requirements effective from 1 September 2017. It requires Member States to verify product conformity using prescribed procedures. A review is planned within five years to assess technological developments and potential scope expansions, including full-size battery-operated vacuum cleaners. The Regulation entered into force shortly after publication and is directly applicable in all EU Member States.
Purpose
The Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 665/2013 supplements Directive 2010/30/EU by establishing specific rules for the energy labelling of vacuum cleaners. The objective is to promote energy efficiency and provide consumers with reliable, transparent, and comparable information on the energy consumption and other performance characteristics of vacuum cleaners. This regulation aims to reduce overall energy demand by encouraging the use of more energy-efficient products, specifically targeting electric mains-operated vacuum cleaners. It excludes certain types such as wet, robot, industrial, and battery-operated vacuum cleaners due to their particular characteristics.

IEC 60704-2-1:2014 applies to electrical vacuum cleaners (including their accessories and their component parts) for household use in or under conditions similar to those in households. This part of IEC 60704 applies as it is to electrical vacuum cleaners operating in dry conditions. Some additions and modifications for vacuum cleaners operating in wet conditions are under consideration. How to test robotic vacuum cleaners is under consideration for a future edition. This part of IEC 60704 does not apply to vacuum cleaners for industrial or professional purposes. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2000. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) introduction of a measuring method on hard floors; b) inclusion of values for measurement uncertainty; c) inclusion of values for standard deviation for declaration and verification; d) update of the definition of the standard test carpet.

IEC 60312-1:2010(E) applicable for measurements of the performance of dry vacuum cleaners for household use in or under conditions similar to those in households. The purpose of this document is to specify essential performance characteristics of dry vacuum cleaners being of interest to the users and to describe methods for measuring these characteristics. Due to influence of environmental conditions, variations in time, origin of test materials and proficiency of the operator, most of the described test methods will give more reliable results when applied for comparative testing of a number of appliances at the same time, in the same laboratory and by the same operator. This document is not intended for battery-operated vacuum cleaners. For safety requirements, reference is made to IEC 60335-1 and IEC 60335-2-2.

Frequently Asked Questions
An EU Regulation is a binding legislative act that must be applied in its entirety across the European Union. Unlike directives, regulations do not need to be transposed into national law and are directly applicable in all member states. Regulations are used when uniform application across all EU countries is essential.
Regulation 665/2013 covers "Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 665/2013 of 3 May 2013 supplementing Directive 2010/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to energy labelling of vacuum cleaners". There are 15 standards associated with this regulation.
Harmonized standards under 665/2013 are European standards (ENs) developed by CEN, CENELEC, or ETSI in response to a mandate from the European Commission. When these standards are cited in the Official Journal of the European Union, products manufactured in conformity with them benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of 665/2013, facilitating CE marking and free movement within the European Economic Area.
