The performance criteria for electric rotary clothes dryers used in homes and other settings are described in AS/NZS 2442.1:1996 (R2016). It is significant to note that the safety standards covered by this standard are covered separately in AS/NZS 3350.2.11:1995.

The standard applies to a variety of appliances, such as vented dryers, condenser dryers, and washer/dryer combinations with drying capabilities. It outlines the crucial performance qualities of these appliances, such as moisture removal, energy consumption, the highest temperature that garments can reach during the drying process, and the dryer's capacity to complete the necessary drying cycles in a single cycle.

The standard offers standardized techniques for testing the required performance characteristics of rotary clothes dryers in order to ensure consistency in performance measurement. These techniques make it possible for producers, testing facilities, and consumers to assess and contrast the performance of various appliances.

The standard also specifies acceptable performance thresholds for the listed qualities. As a result, rotary clothes dryers are guaranteed to meet minimal performance requirements, offering customers dependable and effective drying capabilities while also encouraging energy-efficient behaviors.
