Specifies test methods and minimum performance requirements so that the performance of dishwashers intended for household and similar use can be measured, compared and evaluated.

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 (irrespective of whether the dishwasher has a specific drying operation within the selected program;(iii) energy and water consumption; and(iv) standby power.(b) specifies the standard methods of measuring these characteristics; and(c) sets levels of acceptable performance for washing and drying performance.
