BS EN 1458-2:2011 PDF Download

A European standard called BS EN 1458-2:2011 outlines the specifications and testing procedures for household direct gas-fired tumble dryers' efficient use of energy. The B22D and B23D tumble dryer models with a maximum heat input of 6 kW are covered by the standard. It details how to measure how much gas and electricity are used.

However, some appliances are not included in the scope of this standard. This comprises equipment for catalytic combustion, equipment made specifically for industrial use, and equipment meant for operation in environments with unique requirements like corrosive or explosive atmospheres. Additionally, this standard does not apply to appliances of the condensing type, which use cooling to dehumidify warm air and combustion products. Last but not least, equipment designed for use in automobiles, ships, or aircraft is exempt from the norm.

It's crucial to remember that this European standard only addresses type testing, which means it establishes the specifications and test procedures that should be applied throughout the development and production of these tumble dryers.
