AS NZS 2007.2:2021 Performance of household electrical appliances — Dishwashers
1.1 Scope
This Standard specifies the energy efficiency labelling requirements for electric household dishwashers that are within the scope of the relevant legislation.
In particular, this Standard specifies the following:
(a) Program for energy efficiency labelling and water efficiency labelling.
(b) Water connection mode.
(c) Comparative energy consumption (CEC).
(d) Star rating for energy efficiency labelling.
(e) Energy rating label requirements.
(f) Performance criteria.
(g) Content, format and affixing requirements for dishwasher energy rating labels.
(h) Test report content, example for the application for registration for energy efficiency
labelling and water efficiency labelling.
(i) Details concerning appliance registration with the relevant regulator.
1.2 Application
This Standard shall be read in conjunction with AS/NZS 2007.1.
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:
NOTE Documents referenced for informative purposes are listed in the Bibliography.

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 base energy consumption
BEC
nominal energy consumption of a dishwasher of a given rated capacity with a star rating index of 1.00
Note 1 to entry: Units: kilowatt-hours/year (kWh/year).
Note 2 to entry: See also Clause 2.5.
1.4.2 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.
(c) Product performance.
Note 1 to entry: For water rating label information refer to AS/NZS 6400.
1.4.3 comparative energy consumption
CEC
nominal energy consumption of a model of dishwasher based on the PAEC av estimated for the model
Note 1 to entry: The CEC appears on the energy rating label.
Note 2 to entry: Units: kilowatt-hours/year (kWh/year).
Note 3 to entry: See also Clause 2.4.
1.4.4 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
1.4.5 energy rating label
label that provides consumers with information about the energy consumption and energy efficiency of household dishwashers
Note 1 to entry: The energy rating label displays the product’s CEC, star rating, rated capacity and the program nominated for energy efficiency testing.
Note 2 to entry: The base energy rating label shows 1 to 6 stars and the super efficiency energy rating label shows 7 to 10 stars, see Section 5 for labelling requirements.
1.4.8 multi-compartment dishwasher(s)
dishwasher with more than one washing compartment, each of which —
(a) would fall within the scope of this Standard if it were a single compartment machine; and
(b) may differ in volume and washing method; and
(c) may operate with the same or differing programs, either —
(i) independently; or
(ii) concurrently, either using fresh water in each compartment or re-using water from
one compartment to another.
1.4.9 primary water connection mode
mode used to determine the CEC, SRI and star rating for a dishwasher
Note 1 to entry: The primary water connection mode is single, cold connection, except where the manufacturer’s instructions indicate only hot connection for the dishwasher.
1.4.10 program for energy efficiency labelling
program, including all associated specific settings, nominated by the supplier as recommended to wash a normally soiled load at rated capacity and which meets the performance criteria specified in Section 3
Note 1 to entry: See also Clause 2.2.1.
