Description
of content: This draft Commission
Regulation amends the recently approved Regulation (EU) 2023/2534 on energy
labelling for household tumble dryers to implement a repairability score in
the energy label. Subsequently, information on repairability shall be
included in the product information sheet and in the technical information of
household tumble dryers.
In addition,
in Annex IV, references to the average final moisture content, including the
calculation method, are removed. In Annex IX on verification procedure for
market surveillance purposes, some redrafting has been made.

Objective
and rationale, including the nature of urgent problems where applicable: The repairability score in the energy label is implemented in
compliance with Article 7(2) of Regulation (EU) 2023/2534, whereby the
Commission is to present to the Consultation Forum, no later than 1 January
2025, a repairability score for household tumble dryers and a draft
legislative act for its enactment.
The
calculation of the average final moisture content needs to be removed, in
order to prevent that a 0% for the average final moisture content is declared
in the technical documentation of the product, which could lead to damage to
textiles and excessive energy consumption.
Compliance
with the repair information on the label and in the product information sheet
should be carried out on the same model instead of on the same or equivalent
models, to prevent that products with the same repairability score but
different internal architecture, are used for verification of compliance. It
is also necessary to stress the difference between validity criteria and
verification criteria to avoid misinterpretations among manufacturers;
