Specifies methods for determining performance characteristics, including energy consumption, of electric dishwashers intended for household and similar use. Sets minimum acceptable levels for some of these characteristics. Is based on IEC 60436:1981 but varies considerably from that document.

This Standard sets out the method of determining the performance characteristics of electric dishwashers intended for household and similar use. This Standard does not specify safety requirements. In particular this Standard-(a) states and defines the principal performance characteristics of electric dishwashers,which are-(i) washing performance;(ii) drying performance; and(iii) energy and water consumption;(b) specifies the standard methods of measuring these characteristics; and(c) sets levels of acceptable performance for these characteristics.
