NOTIFICATION
Addendum
The following communication, dated 24 March 2023, is being circulated at the request
of the delegation of Switzerland.
_______________
Title: Draft Energy Efficiency Ordinance
Description: The
present addendum only concerns the requirements for commercial dishwashers.
Originally, integrated heat recovery was proposed as a minimum requirement for
commercial dishwashers. Due to the comments received from the industry, this
requirement was abandoned in favour of an obligation to publish standardised
measured values for energy and water consumption. The product information must
be provided in the technical documentation and on a freely accessible website
of the supplier or manufacturer. However, it is not required that the values
are shown in sales offers or on the appliances themselves (as is known from the
energy label). The obligation enters into force on 1 January 2024. Products
that do not meet the requirement may still be sold during a 12-month transition
period until 31 December 2024.
