• Energy labelling requirements
• Product performance requirements
• Tests conducting requirements

Key changes new version in comparison with the old one is the following:

• Revised and updated referenced standards
• The energy label contains program time in minutes to inform customers about the duration of washing and drying cycles. It helps to choose the most preferable program time
• Includes GEMS level requirements. Information about minimum efficiency requirements helps to detect inefficient dishwashers on the market
