Electric dishwashers for household use - Methods for measuring the performance

IEC 60436:2015 applies to electric dishwashers for household and similar use that are supplied with hot and/or cold water. The object is to state and define the principal performance characteristics of electric dishwashers for household and similar use and to describe the standard methods of measuring these characteristics. This standard is concerned neither with safety nor with minimum performance requirements. This edition constitutes a technical revision and includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) Addition of a specification of the reference dishwasher G1222, addition of the microwave oven 752C, inclusion of standby/low power modes and updated cutlery and tableware items.
b) Combined cleaning and drying: combining the cleaning and drying performance evaluations into one test, along with the energy and water consumption evaluation, prevents an opportunity for circumvention if tests were performed separately. A dishwasher can detect whether soil is present (cleaning evaluation) or not (drying evaluation) and adjust the cycle to favour performance; combining the tests addresses this.
c) New dish load items: new dish load items were incorporated which reflect consumer use. New items are: stainless pots, coffee mugs, melamine plastic items, and glass bowl. The new load items provide different shapes which challenge a dishwasher water spray patterns and provide additional surfaces for soil removal assessment.
d) Detergent: a new detergent "D" is specified which mirrors current tablet formulations available on the market. Detergent type D is phosphate free, with percarbonate instead of perborate bleach and more active enzymes.
e) Repeatability and reproducibility improvements.
f) Addition of annexes for the evaluation of soil sensing programmes, rinsing performance, dishwasher filtration and of an annex on the inlet water temperature influence on energy consumption.

Lave-vaisselle électriques à usage domestique - Méthodes de mesure de l’aptitude à la fonction

L'IEC 60436:2015 s'applique aux lave-vaisselle électriques à usage domestique et similaire alimentés en eau chaude et/ou froide. L'objet de la présente norme est d'établir et de définir les caractéristiques principales d'aptitude à la fonction des lave-vaisselle électriques à usage domestique et similaire et de décrire les méthodes normalisées de mesure de ces caractéristiques. La présente norme ne traite ni des exigences de sécurité ni des exigences minimales relatives à l'aptitude à la fonction. Cette édition constitue une révision technique et inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
a) Ajout d'une spécification du lave-vaisselle de référence G1222, ajout d'un four à micro-ondes 752C, insertion des modes veille/basse puissance et des couverts et articles de table renouvelés.
b) Nettoyage et séchage combinés: la combinaison des évaluationsd'aptitude au nettoyage et au séchage dans un essai unique, ainsi que l'évaluation relative à la consommation d'eau et d'énergie, empêchent les possibilités de contournement si les essais ont été effectués séparément. Un lave-vaisselle peut détecter la présence (évaluation de nettoyage) ou l'absence (évaluation de séchage) de salissures et ajuster le cycle pour favoriser l'aptitude à la fonction; les essais sont combinés à cette fin.
c) Nouveaux articles de charge: de nouveaux articles de charge ont été incorporés pour refléter l'utilisation du consommateur. Les nouveaux articles sont: marmites en acier inoxydable, tasses à café, articles en mélamine et bols en verre. Les nouveaux articles de charge aux formes différentes défient les systèmes de pulvérisation d'eau du lave-vaisselle et fournissent des surfaces supplémentaires pour l'évaluation d élimination de la salissure.
d) Détergent: un nouveau détergent "D" est spécifié et reflète les formulations des produits actuellement sur le marché. Le détergent de type D ne renferme pas de phosphate, contient un agent de blanchiment au perborate et non au percarbonate et possède un plus grand nombre d'enzymes actives.
e) Améliorations relatives à la répétabilité et à la reproductibilité.
f) Ajout d'annexes pour l'évaluation des programmes de détection de la salissure, de l'aptitude au rinçage et d'une annexe relative à l'influence de la température d'entrée d'eau sur la consommation d'énergie.

Električni pomivalni stroji za gospodinjstva - Preskusne metode za merjenje lastnosti

IEC 60436:2015 se uporablja za električne pomivalne stroje za gospodinjstva in podobne vrste uporabe, ki so priključeni na vročo in/ali hladno vodo. Namen tega standarda je navesti in opredeliti glavne značilnosti delovanja električnih pomivalnih strojev za gospodinjstva in podobno uporabo ter opisati standardne metode merjenja teh značilnosti. Ta standard ne opredeljuje varnostnih zahtev niti minimalnih zahtev glede zmogljivosti. Ta izdaja v primerjavi s prejšnjo je tehnična revizija in vključuje naslednje pomembne tehnične spremembe:
a) Dodana specifikacija referenčnega pomivalnega stroja G1222, dodana mikrovalovna pečica 752C, vključeni načini pripravljenosti/nizke porabe ter posodobljena jedilni pribor in posoda.
b) Kombinirano čiščenje in sušenje: združevanje ocen učinkovitosti čiščenja in sušenja v enem preskusu, skupaj z oceno porabe energije in vode, preprečuje možnost izogibanja posameznim poskusom, če bi se izvajali ločeno. Pomivalni stroj lahko zazna, ali je prisotna umazanija (ocena čiščenja) ali ne (ocena sušenja) in prilagodi cikel glede na učinkovitost; združevanje preskusov obravnava prav to.
c) Novi elementi posode za pomivalni stroj: vključeni so bili novi elementi posode za pomivalni stroj, ki odražajo potrošniško uporabo. Novi elementi so: nerjavni lonci, skodelice za kavo, plastični predmeti iz melamina in steklene sklede. Novi elementi so različnih oblik, kar zahteva različne vzorce pršenja vode v pomivalnem stroju in pri čemer je treba oceniti odstranjevanje umazanije na dodatnih površinah.
d) Detergent: naveden je nov detergent »D«, ki odraža trenutne vrste tablet, ki so na voljo na trgu. Detergent vrste D je brez fosfatov, s perkarbonatnim belilom namesto perboratnega in aktivnejšimi encimi.
e) Izboljšave ponovljivosti in obnovljivosti.
f) Novi so dodatki za oceno programov zaznavanja umazanije, učinkovitosti izpiranja, filtracije pomivalnega stroja in dodatek o vplivu temperature vstopne vode na porabo energije.

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.”

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
