1 Modification of Introduction
Replace by:

“This edition of the standard EN 60436 Electric dishwashers for household use - Methods for measuring
the performance was developed for the future EU energy labelling and ecodesign scheme and
therefore based on the principle described in the mandate M/481 to CEN, CENELEC and ETSI for
standardisation in the field of household dishwashers relating to REGULATION (EU) 2017/1369 OF
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 4 July 2017 setting a framework for energy
labelling and repealing Directive 2010/30/EU.

Mandate M/481, issued by the European Commission, includes the standardisation task to develop
measures in testing household dishwashers, which ensure that the prospective harmonized standard
takes into account improved test conditions and test materials to better reflect the user behaviour and
the state of the art at European and international level. Test conditions described in IEC 60436:2015
indeed represent today’s usage behaviours of European households in a better manner.

Common modifications were developed to further improve the standard for its application concerning
EU energy labelling and ecodesign purposes, specifically in regard to the measurement procedure for
low power modes, uncertainty of measurements, and test burden.”



2 Modification of Clause 1 "Scope"
1 Scope

Modify first sentence of first paragraph:

“This European Standard applies to electric dishwashers for household and similar use that are supplied with
hot and/or cold water.”

3 Modification of Clause 2 "Normative references"

Note1 to entry: Usually an end of programme indicator signals the end of the programme and the user has access
to the load.”
In 3.1.15, Add a note:

“Note Z1 to entry: The cycle can be equal or last longer than the programme.”
Modify 3.1.16 as follows:

“cycle time
length of time beginning with the initiation of the cycle (of the selected programme), excluding any user
programmed delay, until all activity ceases (i.e. the end of the cycle)”

Modify 3.1.17 as follows:

“programme time
length of time beginning with the initiation of the cycle (of the selected programme) programme, excluding
any user programmed delay, until an end of programme indicator is activated and the user has access to the
load

Note 1 to entry: If there is no end of programme indicator, the programme time is equal to the cycle time.”


Add note to entry to 3.1.21:

“Note Z1 to entry: This may include several separate steps during the programme(s).”


Modify 3.1.25 as follows:

end of cycle programme mode
“
mode that begins immediately after the completion of the programme, and continues without any further
intervention of the user

Note Z1 to entry: This mode can persist indefinitely or may be of limited duration if the dishwasher is equipped with a
power management system.”


Modify 3.1.26 as follows:

“left on mode
mode that begins as soon as the dishwasher door has been opened and / or unlatched by the user after the
completion of the programme, and continues without any further intervention of the user

Note Z1 to entry: In some products this mode can be equivalent to off mode.

Note Z2 to entry: This mode can persist indefinitely or can be of limited duration if the dishwasher is equipped with a power
management system. ”
