European foreword
This document (EN 60456:2016/A11:2020) consists of the text IEC 60456:2010 prepared by SC
59D "Home laundry appliances", together with the common modifications prepared by CLC/TC
59X "Performance of household and similar electrical appliances".
The following dates are fixed:
• latest date by which this document has to (dop) 2021-07-21
be implemented at national level by publi-
cation of an identical national standard or
by endorsement
• latest date by which the national standards (dow) 2023-10-21
conflicting with this document have to be
withdrawn
Significant technical differences are:
a) the programme to be tested for the combined test series is the new introduced eco 40-60
programme. This programme needs to be tested with default settings with the given temper-
ature;
b) the test loads that have to be used for testing are full, half and quarter of the rated capacity
of the washing machine. Therefore, a new quarter load is introduced and defined to be ap-
proximately a quarter of the rated capacity (see table ZA15). The quarter load is treated as a
separate load and not created by dividing full load or half load;
c) the number of test runs per treatment for the combined test series changed to 3 tests with
full load, 4 tests with half load and 3 tests with quarter load;
d) the time between two subsequent test runs within one day changed from 2 h to one hour;
e) the normalization run is included in the calculation of the load age. The maximum number of
usages for the cotton base load per item is changed to 96 and the weighted average age of the
base load is changed to be between 35 and 60 normalisation runs and test runs.
f) rinsing effectiveness is integrated. It is referred to CLC/TS 50677 (see ZA 4.10);
g) temperature inside the load is integrated. It is referred to CLC/TS 50707:2020 (under prepa-
ration) (see ZA4.11);
h) the procedure to measure low power modes is modified (see ZA4.9);
i) specific weighting factors are introduced for the calculation of the weighted average value of
the combined test series and
j) Annex ZB Tolerances and control procedures is deleted. Annex ZB is replaced by an new
Annex ZB which defines the testing procedure for multi-drum washing machines.
This document also specifies, as far as necessary, the test method for household washing
machines in accordance with the COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2019/2014
of 11 March 2019 supplementing Regulation 2017/1369 of the European Parliament and of the
Council with regard to energy labelling of household washing machines and household
washer-dryers and repealing Commission Regulation (EU) No 1061/2010 and Commission Di-
rective 96/60/EC and in accordance with the COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2019/2023 of
1 October 2019 laying down ecodesign requirements for household washing machines and
household washer-dryers pursuant to Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and
of the Council, amending Commission Regulation (EC) No 1275/2008 and repealing Commis-
sion regulation EU) No 1015/2010.
Clauses, subclauses, notes, tables, figures and annexes which are additional to those in
IEC 60456:2010 are prefixed “Z”.
Annex ZA sets out the procedure to be applied for testing according to Commission Regulations
with regard to energy labelling and ecodesign and provides all necessary links to all relevant
clauses of this European Standard.
This document has been prepared in view of upcoming Standardization Request which will be
given to CENELEC by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association,
and supports Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/2014 and Commission Regulation
(EU) 2019/2023.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the
subject of patent rights. CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such
patent rights.
For the relationship with Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/2014 and Commission
Regulation (EU) 2019/2023 informative Annex ZZA and Annex ZZB will be published following
the adoption of the Standardization Request.

3.1.22
rated capacity
maximum mass of dry textiles of a particular type which the manufacturer declares can be treated in the

gramme is complete when the power consumption of the appliance drops to some steady state
condition and is not performing any function
Note to entry Z1: An indication of the end of the programme may be in the form of a light (on or off), a sound, an
indicator shown on a display or the release of a door or latch. In some washing machines there may be a short
delay from an end of programme indicator until the load is accessible by the user.

ity
