This document provides a measurement method to assess the reliability of washing machines for household use. This document defines the functional analysis, limiting events/states, environmental conditions and use conditions of washing machines. It also elaborates on the level of confidence on the measurement results.
NOTE: The method is based on EN 45552 (General method for the assessment of the durability of energy-related products) and takes into account EN 45554 (General methods for the assessment of the ability to repair, reuse and upgrade energy-related products).
This document provides information about the interrelations of reliability, reparability and upgradeability with consideration towards a durability assessment for washing machines for household use.
The document provides input/results about the investigation on the assessment of reparability and upgradeability for washing machines for household use.
Secretary NOTE: Investigations are planned to consider the most important issues identified in TR 50727.
This document is not intended to be used to assess the durability of:
- Washing machines, intended for commercial or industrial use;
- Washer-dryers.
This document does not address the ability of washing machines to be reused.
The EN supports the goal of the EU COM for a circular economy by providing a harmonised method to assess/measure the reliability of washing machines. The included measurement/assessment method can be used for different purposes, such as:
- Future legislation;
- Labelling purposes;
- Manufacturer internal quality checks.
