ANNEX ISupplementary provisions
ANNEX I Ecodesign requirements 1. Specific Ecodesign requirements Vacuum cleaners shall comply with the following requirements: (a) From 1 September 2014: — annual energy consumption shall be less than 62,0 kWh/year, — rated input power shall be less than 1 600 W, — dust pick up on carpet ( dpu c ) shall be greater than or equal to 0,70. This limit shall not apply to hard floor vacuum cleaners, — dust pick up on hard floor ( dpu hf ) shall be greater than or equal to 0,95. This limit shall not apply to carpet vacuum cleaners. These limits shall not apply to water filter vacuum cleaners. (b) From 1 September 2017: — annual energy consumption shall be less than 43,0 kWh/year, — rated input power shall be less than 900W, — dust pick up on carpet ( dpu c ) shall be greater than or equal to 0,75. This limit shall not apply to hard floor vacuum cleaners, — dust pick up on hard floor ( dpu hf ) shall be greater than or equal to 0,98. This limit shall not apply to carpet vacuum cleaners, — dust re-emission shall be no more than 1,00 %, — sound power level shall be less than or equal to 80 dB(A), — the hose, if any, shall be durable so that it is still useable after 40 000 oscillations under strain, — operational motor lifetime shall be greater than or equal to 500 hours. The annual energy consumption, rated input power, dpu c (dust pick up on carpet), dpu hf (dust pick up on hard floor), dust re-emission, sound power level, durability of the hose and operational motor lifetime are measured and calculated in accordance with Annex II. 2. Information to be provided by manufacturers (a) The technical documentation, booklet of instructions and free access websites of manufacturers, their authorised representatives, or importers shall contain the following elements: — any information required to be published in respect of the vacuum cleaner under any delegated acts adopted under Directive 2010/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 1 ) , — short title or reference to the measurement and calculation methods used to establish compliance with the above requirements, — for hard floor vacuum cleaners, mention that they are not suitable for use on carpets with the delivered nozzle, — for carpet vacuum cleaners, mention that they are not suitable for use on hard floors with the delivered nozzle, — for appliances that are enabled to function also for other purposes than vacuum cleaning, the electric input power relevant to vacuum cleaning if this is lower than the rated input power of the appliance, — as which of the following three groups the vacuum cleaner should be tested: general purpose vacuum cleaner, hard floor vacuum cleaner or carpet vacuum cleaner. (b) The technical documentation and a part for professionals of the free access websites of manufacturers, their authorised representatives, or importers shall contain the following elements: — information relevant for non-destructive disassembly for maintenance purposes, in particular in relation to the hose, suction inlet, motor, casing and cable, — information relevant for dismantling, in particular in relation to the motor and any batteries, recycling, recovery and disposal at end-of-life.
