ANADA
Energy Labelling requirements for the USA and Canada governed by the Department of
Energy and the Office of Energy Efficiency respectively. The minimum required efficiency
for dishwashers is an energy factor of 0.46.
Energy factor = 322/annual consumption of dishwasher measured in kWh/year.
Test Procedure
The dishwashers are loaded up with a prescribed number of place settings as determined by
the AHAM standard. The plates are clean. The dishwasher is run through a Normal heated
dry cycle and a normal no heated dry programme. Water plus machine energy is measured
and the results are averaged. Total annual consumption is 322*average energy used for the
programme. Incoming water temperature is 49ºC/120ºF.
Energy Star
For dishwashers that have an energy factor of 0.52 or more, are permitted to display the
energy star in/on/adjacent to the product. This recognises dishwashers that are more
energy efficient again. The DD603/(I) has an energy factor of 0.72 while the DS603/(I)
has an energy factor of 1.5.
EN50242
Legislation requires the European Community Energy Label to be displayed on all new
dishwashers displayed for sale. The manufacturers nominate the test wash programme they
want to be labelled on. A-G indicators are based on the European Standards EN50242. A is
the best performance and G is worst.
Fisher and Paykel have chosen the Normal Eco Programme as the test cycle to be labelled
on. The ultimate goal for any manufacturer is to AAA. At present the DishDrawer manages
