Electric dishwashers for household use - Methods for measuring the performance
IEC 60436:2025 applies to electric dishwashers for household and similar use that are supplied with hot and/or cold water. The object of this document is to state and define the principal performance characteristics of electric dishwashers for household and similar use and to describe the standard methods of measuring these characteristics. This document is concerned neither with safety nor with minimum performance requirements. This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition published in 2015, and Amendment 1:2020. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) Implementation of a new reference machine, which better reflects modern dishwasher energy and water saving technologies. Its ability to function as a reference machine for the cleaning assessment was assessed in a Round Robin Test. b) Implementation of the new reference detergent type E, which better reflects market detergents formulations. It includes upgraded enzymes and a lower content of silicates to reduce the alkalinity which simplifies the world wide transportation by avoiding dangerous goods labelling and therefore improves the usage all over the world. c) Implementation of an alignment factor for the cleaning performance assessment as proposed in a scientific study done by an university to align test results of the previous version to the new version of this document with the new reference system described above. d) Introduction of replacements and alternatives for the pan and knives as the production of the current ones was stopped. e) Improvement of the room temperature control by a temperature measurement inside the dishwasher directly prior to the start of the test programme. f) Update of the weight of different load items and the specified ranges to anneal the requirements in the document to the actual weight of the items. g) Introduction of an updated method to assess low power modes providing a step-by-step measurement description and including new modes, e.g. network standby which are of increased importance for dishwasher offering additional services via internet connection. Additionally, reactions to different interactions with the appliance can be assessed in a better way and learnings of Round Robin Test are included. h) Inclusion of additional method for dishwasher testing which allows the assessment of variations of dishwasher units from one model. i) New requirements for the loading and handling instructions for tests institutes. j) Implementation of testing methodology for multi-compartment dishwashers. k) Improvement of ballast soil preparation process in Annex V.

Lave-vaisselle électriques à usage domestique - Méthodes de mesure de l'aptitude à la fonction
L'IEC 60436:2025 s'applique aux lave-vaisselle électriques à usage domestique et similaire alimentés en eau chaude et/ou froide. L'objet du présent document est d'établir et de définir les caractéristiques principales d'aptitude à la fonction des lave-vaisselle électriques à usage domestique et similaire et de décrire les méthodes normalisées de mesure de ces caractéristiques. Le présent document ne traite ni de la sécurité, ni des exigences minimales d'aptitude à la fonction. Cette cinquième édition annule et remplace la quatrième édition parue en 2015 et l'Amendement 1:2020. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: a) Mise en œuvre d'un nouvel appareil de référence, qui reflète mieux les technologies modernes d'économie d'énergie et d'eau du lave-vaisselle moderne. Sa capacité à servir d'appareil de référence pour l'évaluation du nettoyage a été évaluée dans un essai comparatif interlaboratoires. b) Mise en œuvre du nouveau détergent de référence de type E, qui reflète mieux les formulations des détergents du marché. Il comprend des enzymes améliorées et une teneur plus faible en silicates pour réduire l'alcalinité, ce qui simplifie son transport dans le monde entier en évitant l'étiquetage des marchandises dangereuses et améliore donc son utilisation dans le monde entier. c) Mise en œuvre d'un facteur d'alignement pour l'évaluation de l'aptitude au nettoyage, comme cela est proposé dans une étude scientifique réalisée à l'université afin d'aligner les résultats d'essai de la version précédente et de la nouvelle version du présent document sur le nouveau système de référence décrit ci-dessus. d) Introduction d'articles de remplacement et d'alternatives pour la poêle et les couteaux, la production actuelle de ceux-ci ayant été arrêtée. e) Amélioration du contrôle de la température ambiante au moyen d'un mesurage de la température à l'intérieur du lave-vaisselle juste avant le démarrage du programme d'essai. f) Mise à jour du poids des différents articles de charge et des plages spécifiées afin d'adapter les exigences du document au poids réel des articles. g) Introduction d'une méthode actualisée pour évaluer les modes de faible consommation d'énergie, avec une description des mesurages étape par étape et l'inclusion de nouveaux modes (par exemple, la mise en veille du réseau) qui revêtent une importance accrue pour les lave-vaisselle offrant des services supplémentaires par le biais d'une connexion internet. En outre, les réactions aux différentes interactions avec l'appareil peuvent être mieux évaluées et les enseignements tirés de l'essai comparatif interlaboratoires sont inclus. h) Introduction d'une méthode supplémentaire d'essai des lave-vaisselle qui permet d'évaluer les variations des lave-vaisselle d'un même modèle. i) Introduction de nouvelles exigences par rapport aux instructions de charge et de manutention pour les instituts d'essai. j) Mise en œuvre d'une méthodologie d'essai pour les lave-vaisselle à compartiments multiples. k) Amélioration du processus de préparation de la salissure de lest à l'Annexe V.
