Defines terms used to measure the energy efficiency and specifies the methods for calculation of all quantities which appear on the energy efficiency (i.e. 'star rating') label. It specifies the minimum performance criteria required for registration of a model in Australia and sets out requirements for the printing, placement and validation of the energy label. Appendices include example calculations for energy labelling and an approved registration application format. Calculations require data measured according to AS/NZS 2442.1, energy consumption and performance.

This Standard specifies the energy labelling requirements for electric rotary clothes dryers intended for household and similar use, but does not specify safety requirements. These appear in AS/NZS 3350.2.11:1995. Examples of appliances covered by this Standard include vented dryers, condenser dryers and the drying function of combination washer/dryer units.In particular, this Standard specifies the following:(a) Projected annual energy consumption.(b) Tested energy performance.(c) Comparative energy consumption.(d) Energy efficiency rating.(e) Star rating.(f) Some of the requirements for energy label validity.(g) The performance criteria for energy labelling approval.(h) The test report format and printing requirements for clothes dryer energy labels.This Standard shall be read in conjunction with AS/NZS 2442.1.
