This European Standard specifies the test methods for measuring the performance of electric clothes washer-dryers for household use as required by the Commission Directive on energy labelling and standard product information. It deals with: performance criteria, including energy and water consumption, for the 60 °C cotton wash programme as specified in EN 60456; energy and water consumption of the drying cycle based on the Dry cotton programme as specified in EN 61121; permitted tolerances to values declared by the manufacturer and control procedures for checking these declared values. This European Standard is concerned neither with safety nor with performance requirements. NOTE: Washer-dryers for communal use in blocks of flats or in launderettes are within the scope of this Standard, but machines for commercial laundries are not included
