AS NZS 2007.1:2021 pdf Performance of household electrical appliances — Dishwashers
1.1  Scope
This Standard specifies test procedures and minimum performance criteria for determining the
performance characteristics of electric household dishwashers that are within the scope of the
relevant legislation.
In particular, this Standard specifies the following:
(a) States and defines the principal performance characteristics of electric
dishwashers, which are —
(i) washing performance;
(ii) drying performance (irrespective of whether the dishwasher has a specific drying
operation within the selected program);
(iii) energy and water consumption; and
(iv) standby power.
(b) Specifies methods of measuring these characteristics.
(c) Sets levels of acceptable performance for washing and drying.
1.2  Application
This Standard shall be read in conjunction with AS/NZS 2007.2.
1.3  Normative references
The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content
constitutes requirements of this document:

1.4  Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this Standard the definitions below apply.
NOTE  The following defined terms are bolded in this Standard.
1.4.1 check test
test to determine whether an appliance complies with the relevant legislation, which is intended to
verify claims about a model in relation to one or more of the following:
(a) Energy consumption — Indicated on the energy rating label.
(b) Water consumption — Indicated on the water rating label in accordance with AS/NZS 6400.
(c) Product performance.
1.4.2 competent person(s)
person who has acquired through training, qualifications or experience, or a combination of these, the knowledge and skills enabling that person to perform a specified task
1.4.3 cycle
series of operations and other activities that occur within the cycle time
1.4.4 cycle time
duration of time measured from the initiation of the program (excluding any user-programmed delay) until all activity ceases
Note 1 to entry: Activity is considered to have ceased when the power consumption reverts to a steady-state condition that persists indefinitely without user intervention. If there is no activity after the end of the program,the cycle time is equal to the program time.
Note 2 to entry: Cycle time includes any activity that may occur after the program is completed until a steady-state condition is reached. This could include fans, any electronic activity or any additional mechanical activity that occurs for a limited period after any end of program indicator. Any cyclic event that occurs indefinitely is considered to be steady-state, see Appendix M for examples.
1.4.5 delay start mode
mode where the model has a user option used to delay commencement of the program
Note 1 to entry: See also Clause D.5.
1.4.6 dishwasher(s)
machine which cleans, rinses and dries dishware, glassware, cutlery, and, in some cases, cooking
utensils by chemical, mechanical, thermal and/or electric means, which may or may not have a specific drying operation at the end of the program
1.4.7 end of cycle mode
state that the appliance enters at the end of the cycle, during which appliance power is in a steady-state condition that persists indefinitely
Note 1 to entry: End of cycle mode is applicable to all products, see also Clause D.4.
Note 2 to entry: In some products this mode may be an equivalent power to off mode, while in other products end of cycle mode will persist until off mode is initiated by the user via a power switch.
