M/048 - Household Dryers
Mandate to CENELEC for the elaboration and adoption of measurement standards for household dryers
Mandate M/048 tasks CENELEC with developing and adopting standardized measurement methods for household dryers. This aims to ensure consistent and reliable assessment of dryer performance, facilitating product comparison, regulatory compliance, and promoting energy efficiency. The standardization will support manufacturers, regulators, and consumers by providing clear and harmonized testing protocols within the European market.
Purpose
The mandate M/048 aims to commission CENELEC (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization) to develop and adopt standardized measurement methods specifically for household dryers. This standardisation effort focuses on ensuring consistent, reliable, and comparable performance evaluations of these appliances across the European Union.
Standardisation request
CENELEC is requested to elaborate detailed measurement standards that define how household dryers should be tested and assessed. These standards will establish uniform procedures and criteria to measure factors such as energy consumption, drying efficiency, and other relevant performance parameters.
Expected deliverables
- Development of harmonised measurement standards tailored to household dryers.
- Adoption of these standards by CENELEC to facilitate consistent application across member states.
- Documentation that provides clear guidance for manufacturers, testing bodies, and regulators on testing protocols for household dryers.
Context
Household dryers are common electrical appliances whose performance and energy consumption significantly impact consumer choice and environmental objectives. Standardised measurement methods are essential to enable fair product comparisons, support regulatory compliance, and promote energy efficiency improvements within the EU market. This mandate aligns with broader EU policies on energy labelling and eco-design for household appliances.
This mandate covers the development and adoption of measurement standards specifically for household dryers. It focuses on establishing standardized methods to assess the performance, efficiency, and other relevant characteristics of domestic drying appliances used in households.

Frequently Asked Questions
A European Standardization Mandate is a formal request from the European Commission to the European Standardization Organizations (CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI) to develop European standards (ENs) in support of EU legislation and policies. Mandates are issued under Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 and help ensure that products and services meet the essential requirements set out in EU directives and regulations.
M/048 is a European Standardization Mandate titled "Mandate to CENELEC for the elaboration and adoption of measurement standards for household dryers". Mandate to CENELEC for the elaboration and adoption of measurement standards for household dryers There are 0 standards developed under this mandate.
Standards developed in response to a mandate and cited in the Official Journal of the European Union become "harmonized standards". Products manufactured in compliance with harmonized standards benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the corresponding EU directive or regulation, facilitating CE marking and market access across the European Economic Area.
