Clothes washing machines for household use - Methods for measuring the performance
Deals with methods for measuring the performance of clothes washing machines for household use, with or without heating devices and for cold and/or hot water supply. Also included, appliances for water extraction by centrifugal force and appliances for both washing and drying textiles (called washer-dryers) with respect to their washing performance. The object is to state and define the principal performance characteristics of household electric washing machines and spin extractors and to describe the standard methods for measuring these characteristics.

Machines à laver le linge pour usage domestique - Méthodes de mesure de l'aptitude à la fonction
Traite des méthodes de mesure de l'aptitude à la fonction des machines à laver le linge à usage domestique, avec ou sans dispositif de chauffage et alimentées en eau froide et/ou en eau chaude. Elle traite également des appareils à essorer le linge par la force centrifuge. De même, elle est applicable aux appareils destinés à laver et sécher le linge (appelés machines lavantes-séchantes) pour ce qui concerne leur performance de lavage .L'objet de cette norme est d'établir et de définir les caractéristiques principales d'aptitude à la fonction des machines à laver électriques à usage domestique et de décrire les méthodes normalisées de mesure de ces caractéristiques.

This European Standard was approved by CENELEC on 2004-10-01. CENELEC members are bound
to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this
European Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration.
Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national standards may be obtained on
application to the Central Secretariat or to any CENELEC member.
This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other
language made by translation under the responsibility of a CENELEC member into its own language and
notified to the Central Secretariat has the same status as the official versions.
CENELEC members are the national electrotechnical committees of Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech
Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia,
Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland and United Kingdom.

Foreword
The text of the International Standard IEC 60456:2003, prepared by SC 59D, Home laundry
appliances, of IEC TC 59, Performance of household electrical appliances, together with the
common modifications prepared by the Technical Committee CENELEC TC 59X, Consumer
information related to household electrical appliances, was submitted to the formal vote and
was approved by CENELEC as EN 60456 on 2004-10-01.
This European Standard supersedes EN 60456:1999 + A11:2001 + A12:2001 + A13:2003.
Many of the changes in the new IEC 60456:2003 had already been included in
EN 60456:1999/A12:2001 and A13:2003. Consequently, the only significant technical
difference with the previous edition of the European Standard is the allowance of three
alternative methods to condition the load.
It is not expected that this new version EN 60456 will influence energy label declaration in any
way.
In this European Standard the common modifications to the International Standard are
indicated by a vertical line in the left margin of the text.
The following dates were fixed:
– latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
at national level by publication of an identical
national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2005-10-01
– latest date by which the national standards conflicting
with the EN have to be withdrawn (dow) 2007-10-01
In this standard, the following print types are used:
– test specifications: in italic type;
– notes: in small roman type;
– other text: in roman type.
– words in bold in the text are defined in Clause 3.
Clauses, subclauses and notes that are additional to those in IEC 60456 are prefixed with the
letter Z.
The contents of the corrigendum of March 2008 have been included in this copy.
