Electric dishwashers for household use - Methods for measuring the performance
Also Known As:
A thorough document that outlines techniques for evaluating the performance of electric dishwashers intended for domestic use is the IEC 60436:2015+AMD1:2020 CSV standard. It covers the common methods for measuring these properties and identifies the key performance criteria of these appliances. It is significant to note that neither the safety standards nor the minimal performance levels are addressed by this standard.
The standard has undergone several substantial technical revisions. First, it adds new requirements for a reference microwave and dishwasher. Additionally, it includes standby and low power modes and updates the list of dinnerware and utensils used in testing.
The standard has undergone significant revisions, one of which is the amalgamation of cleaning and drying evaluations into a single test. This avoids the possibility of test results being manipulated if they were performed independently. To mirror actual consumer usage, new load goods such as stainless steel pots, coffee cups, melamine plastic objects, and glass bowls have also been added.
The new detergent composition, which is phosphate-free and includes percarbonate and active enzymes, is also introduced by the standard. Additionally, it offers new annexes for analyzing soil sensing programs, rinsing effectiveness, dishwasher filtration, and the impact of inlet water temperature on energy consumption. It also increases repeatability and reproducibility.
