1 Scope
This document provides a measurement and evaluation method for the determination of the representative
maximum temperature reached inside the base load during the washing cycle of a washing machine or
washer-dryer.
The mean maximum temperature within the base load is measured with three temperature sensors, which
are attached to towels and/or pillowcases placed in different, representative locations inside the drum.
This document does not provide a method for measuring a temperature for the evaluation of hygiene
performance.

4 Test conditions, materials, equipment and instrumentation
The temperature inside the base load shall be measured with data loggers with the following specifications:
— Temperature range: at least (0 to 85) °C
NOTE 1 For tests involving continuous wash & dry programmes the device might need to withstand temperatures in
excess of 120 °C.
— Accuracy: ≤ 0,5 °C at 0 °C to 60 °C ; ≤ 2 °C above 60 °C
— Resolution: ≤ 0,2 °C
— Response time TC (10 to 90 %) in water: ≤ 2 min
— TC (10 % to 90 %) is the time it takes for the sensor to traverse between 10 % and 90 % of its final value.
Response time can also be expressed as a TC 63 % value. The 63 % figure is the time for the sensor to
reach 63 % of its final value. TC (10 % to 90 %) and the TC 63 % value are of approximately the same
magnitude for a given sensor.
— Sampling rate: ≤ 10 s
— Max mass: 30 g
— Dimensions: max 35 mm in each dimension
NOTE 2 Dimensions have been chosen to minimize mechanical impact on the base load. It is intended that the
addition of temperature loggers to the base load should not have a significant influence on the washing performance.
— Water protection class: IP67
5 Preparation for testing
5.1 Preparation of equipment
5.1.1 General
Data loggers shall be prepared for data acquisition according to the supplier’s instructions.
5.1.2 Attaching a data logger to a towel or a pillowcase
A data logger shall be attached to a base load item in the following way:
1. Place the data logger in the centre of a towel or pillowcase as pictured in Figure 1 and 2.
2. Fasten the towel or pillowcase around the data logger as pictured in Figure 3, 4 and 5. The fastening of
the data logger shall ensure that the data logger does not loosen during the test.

5.2 Procedure
5.2.1 Number of data loggers
For each test run 3 data loggers shall be used, except in the case of a half load mass of 1,5 kg when only
two data loggers shall be used.
5.2.2 Placement of data loggers in the base load
To measure the temperature inside the base load during a wash cycle, the data loggers shall be attached to
towels and pillowcases as described in 5.1.2. The position of the towel or the pillowcase with the attached
1
logger is determined by the respective loading step according to Table H.2 of EN 60456:2016/A11:— in
1
case of full loads and quarter loads and according to Table ZA.2 to ZA.7 of EN 60456:2016/A11:— in case
of half loads.
