EVS-EN 50242:2016

Via mandate 481 the European Commission charged Cenelec with the revision of the current test standard to prevent circumvention during energy labelling tests. A dishwasher should not react through the usage of different sensors to a specific test scenario. Due to the fact that a soiled load is used for cleaning performance testing but not for drying performance tests, the test scenarios are not identical. Several solutions were proposed and failed. Finally it was decided to decided to test the applicability of a combined cleaning and drying evaluation (CCD). The method is to be added to the renumbered standard EN60436.
