ANNEX IIISupplementary provisions

ANNEX III Annexes IV and V to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2534 are amended as follows: (1) Annex IV is amended as follows: (a) the third and fourth paragraphs are replaced by the following: ‘The eco programme as identifiable on the programme selection, on the display and through the network connection, depending on the functionalities provided by the household tumble dryer, and with no further modification of the final moisture content setting, shall be used for the measurement and calculation of the EEI, the condensation efficiency, the programme duration and the airborne acoustic noise emissions. The energy consumption, condensation efficiency and program duration shall also be measured concurrently. The calculation of the weighted energy consumption, the weighted programme duration and the condensation efficiency shall be done on the basis of three drying cycles at full load and four drying cycles at partial load.’; (b) in Section 1, point (g) is deleted; (c) the following Section 5 is added: ‘5.   METHOD FOR THE CALCULATION OF THE REPAIRABILITY INDEX OF HOUSEHOLD TUMBLE DRYERS The repairability index is an aggregated and normalised score, as a calculated value derived from four scoring parameters where: — S DD is the “Disassembly Depth” score; — S F is the “Fasteners (type)” score; — S T is the “Tools (type)” score; — S RI is the “Repair Information” score. The Repairability Index ( R ) shall be calculated as follows: and rounded to two decimal places. The “Disassembly Depth” ( S DD ), “Fasteners (type)” ( S F ) and “Tools (type)” ( S T ) scores are based on the aggregation of the following priority parts level scores: — WP is the water pump; — B is the drum bearing; — DB is the drum belt; — D is the door; — M is the motor; — MB is the main printed circuit board; — F is the fan; — MC is the motor capacitor. If any of the priority parts listed above is present in a product more than once, only the one which delivers the lowest score shall be considered in the calculation of the “Disassembly Depth” ( S DD ), “Fasteners (type)” ( S F ) and “Tools (type)” ( S T ) scores. If one or more priority parts are not present in the product, those priority parts shall be removed from the formula of the scoring parameters where they appear. In addition, the coefficients of the remaining priority parts in the formula of each scoring parameter shall be divided by the complementary to 1 of the sum of the coefficients corresponding to the priority parts not present in the product, so that the sum of the remaining coefficients shall always be 1. S DD , S F and S T shall be calculated on the basis of the description of the disassembly steps, the fasteners and the tools needed for each priority part. The assessment of the repairability index, specifically S DD , S F and S T shall start on a product that is: — maintained as required in the user manual for daily use; — fully assembled; — standing, all side panels and the appliance cover freely accessible; — disconnected from any supply and disposal. After the assessment the product shall be fully reassembled. 5.1. The “Disassembly Depth” ( S DD ) score shall be calculated as follows: Disassembly Depth (DD) assessment at part level The Disassembly Depth score ( DD i ) for each priority part ( DD WP , DD B , DD DB , DD D , DD M , DD MB , DD F , DD MC ) shall be set on the basis of the number of steps required to remove the priority part from the product ( DD ) with respect to the mean number of disassembly steps ( MDS ) for that priority part without damaging the product. MDS for each priority part is as follows: — water pump: 16,1 steps; — drum bearing: 18,9 steps; — drum belt: 40,9 steps; — door: 3 steps; — motor: 49,4 steps; — main printed circuit board: 13,7 steps; — fan: 7,7 steps; — motor capacitor: 24,9 steps. Points ranging from 0 to 10 are assigned to DD i for each priority part as follows: — if DD ≤ 0,70 × MDS , DD i = 10 pt; — if 0,70 × MDS < DD ≤ 0,90 × MDS , DD i = 7 pt; — if 0,90 × MDS < DD ≤ 1,10 × MDS , DD i = 4 pt; — if 1,10 × MDS < DD ≤ 1,30 × MDS , DD i = 1 pt; — if DD > 1,30 × MDS , DD i = 0 pt. For the calculation of DD , the following rules shall apply: — the step count for the disassembly of each priority part is completed when the target priority part is separated and individually accessible. When the target priority part is part of an assembly or bundle of parts, implying firstly the removal of the assembly or the bundle, the end of the disassembly process takes place when the target priority part is separated and individually accessible; — fasteners are not considered as a part; — if, after the disassembly of a priority part, the disassembly of a further part requires partly the same disassembly steps, the disassembly of this part may start with the first step that is different. However, DD for that part shall be the total number of steps calculated from a fully assembled product; — where multiple tools need to be used simultaneously, the use of each tool counts as a separate step. To grab a tool, to put a tool down and to remove a fastener are not considered the end of a step. The hand shall not be considered as a tool; — operations related to cleaning, removing traces or heating are counted as steps; — DD shall be calculated on the basis of the description of the disassembly steps for each priority part given in the technical documentation; — where remote notification or authorisation of serial numbers is necessary for the full functionality of the priority part, DDi shall be zero. 5.2. The Fasteners type score ( S F ) is calculated as follows: Fasteners (type) (F) assessment at part level The “Fasteners (type)” scores ( F i ) for each priority part ( F WP , F B , F DB , F D , F M , F MB , F F , F MC ) are assigned according to the level of removability and reusability of the fasteners used in the device assembly. Points ranging from 0 to 10 are assigned to F i for each priority part as follows: — reusable fasteners F i = 10 pt; — resupplied fasteners at no cost, F i = 7 pt; — resupplied fasteners at additional costs, F i = 4 pt; — removable fasteners, F i = 0 pt. The identification of the type of fasteners is based on the description of each fastener type for the disassembly process to remove the specific priority part given in the technical documentation. In case different types of fasteners are encountered in the disassembly of a priority part, the lowest score shall be considered. 5.3. The Tools type score ( S T ) shall be calculated as follows: Tools type (T) assessment at part level The Tools type scores ( T i ) for each priority part i ( T WP , T B , T DB , T D , T M , T MB , T F , T MC ) are assigned according to the complexity and availability of the tools needed for its replacement. Points ranging from 0 to 10 are assigned to T i for each priority part as follows: — replacement possible with basic tools or without a tool, T i = 10 pt; — replacement possible with tools supplied with the spare part, T i = 5 pt; — replacement possible with commercially available tools, T i = 0 pt. The assessment of the type of tools is based on the disassembly process to remove the specific priority part given in the technical documentation. Where different types of tools are needed for the disassembly of a priority part, the lowest score shall be considered. 5.4 Repair Information ( RI ) assessment at product level The Repair Information score ( S RI ) for the repair and maintenance information in point 5(1)(b) of Annex II of Regulation (EU) 2023/2533 shall be calculated at product level as follows: — availability of repair information at no cost for professional repairers, S RI = 10 pt; — availability of repair information with a reasonable and proportionate fee for professional repairers, S RI = 0 pt. A fee shall be considered reasonable if it does not discourage access to repair information by failing to take into account the extent to which the professional repairer uses the information.’; (2) Annex V is amended as follows: (a) the first subparagraph is replaced by the following: ‘Pursuant to Article 3(1), point (a)(ii), until 31 December 2026 the supplier shall enter the information into the product database as set out in Table 4.
