(b)

points 2, 3 and 4 are replaced by the following:

‘2.   CLEANING PERFORMANCE INDEX

For the calculation of the cleaning performance index (I C ) of a household dishwasher model, the cleaning performance of the eco programme is compared to the cleaning performance of a reference dishwasher.

The I C is calculated as follows and rounded to three decimal places:

I C = exp (ln I C )

and

ln I C = (1/n) × Σ n

i = 1 ln (C T,i /C R,i )

where:

C T,i is the cleaning performance of the eco programme of the household dishwasher under test for one test run (i), rounded to three decimal places;

C R,i is the cleaning performance of the reference dishwasher for one test run (i), rounded to three decimal places;

n is the number of test runs.

3.   DRYING PERFORMANCE INDEX

For the calculation of the drying performance index (I D ) of a household dishwasher model, the drying performance of the eco programme is compared to the drying performance of the reference dishwasher.

The I D is calculated as follows and rounded to three decimal places:

I D = exp (ln I D )

and

ln I D = (1/n) × Σ n

i = 1 ln(I D,i )

where:

I D,i is the drying performance index of the eco programme of the household dishwasher under test for one test run (i);

n is the number of combined cleaning and drying test runs.

The I D,i is calculated as follows and rounded to three decimal places:

ln I D,i

= ln (D T,i /D R,t )

where:

D T,i is the average drying performance score of the eco programme of the household dishwasher under test for one test run (i), rounded to three decimal places;

D R,t is the target drying score of the reference dishwasher, rounded to three decimal places.

4.   LOW POWER MODES

Where applicable, the power consumption of the off mode (P o ), standby mode (P sm ) and delay start (P ds ) are measured, expressed in W, and rounded to two decimal places.

During measurements of the power consumption in low power modes, the following shall be checked and recorded:

—

the display or not of information,

—

the activation or not of a network connection.’;
