On November 22, 2023, the European Union officially released the latest revised version of the EU 2023 2533 ecodesign regulation for household dryers. The regulation will come into force on January 1, 2024.
Combined with the EU 2023 2534, which has been formulated by the EU on July 13, 2023, the EU has formed a complete new version of the household dryer energy efficiency regulation and control system.
The main content of the regulation:
l (EU) 2023 2534 Energy labelling: The current (EU) 392 2012 will be repealed on 30 June 2025. However, the printed label that comes with the tumble dryer and the product information sheet on the eprel** should be in the new version from March 1, 2025.
l (EU) 2023 2533 Ecodesign Requirements: The current (EU) 932 2012 will be repealed on June 30, 2025. However, from December 12, 2023, the following circumvention measures are prohibited:
Measures are designed to monitor the product being tested and change the test status;
Specify specific testing requirements;
Measures were designed to change the products that had already been put into service in a short period of time.
Performance level requirements vary:
l Removed the requirement for the arrow identification of energy efficiency procedures in the old regulations and replaced it with the use of "eco" as a special procedure for energy efficiency testing;
l The condensing efficiency of the condensing tumble dryer should be less than 80%;
l From May 9, 2027, the shutdown power consumption of household dryer products will be increased from the original 0The 50W limit is adjusted to 030W limit, which will greatly affect the electrical design of dryer products in the R&D stage
l The new delayed start state shall not exceed 400W power consumption requirements;
l The energy efficiency label is changed from A+++D to A G
