Foreword
The text of document 59D/398/FDIS, future edition 4 of IEC 60734, prepared by SC 59D, Home laundry
appliances, of IEC TC 59, Performance of household and similar electrical appliances was submitted to
the IEC-CENELEC parallel vote and approved by CENELEC as EN 60734:2012.

The following dates are fixed:
(dop) 2013-05-01
• latest date by which the document has

This document supersedes EN 60734:2003.
EN 60734:2012 includes the following significant technical changes with respect to EN 60734:2003:
a) four types of standard water, from soft to very hard, are defined with specification for hardness,
alkalinity and conductivity;
b) preparation method A is no longer maintained; and
c) method C3 is added to prepare water of specified hardness, conductivity and alkalinity starting with
natural water while the natural water based methods C1 and C2 focus on water hardness only, without
allowing control or setting of alkalinity and conductivity.
Words in bold in the text are defined in Clause 3.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CENELEC [and/or CEN] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent
rights.

Endorsement notice
