ANNEX II Energy efficiency class, acoustic airborne noise emission class and condensation efficiency class 1. ENERGY EFFICIENCY CLASS The energy efficiency class of a household tumble dryer shall be determined on the basis of its energy efficiency index (‘EEI’) as set out in Table 1. The EEI shall be determined in accordance with Section 1 of Annex IV. Table 1 Energy efficiency class Energy efficiency class Energy Efficiency Index A (most efficient) EEI ≤ 43 B 43 < EEI ≤ 50 C 50 < EEI ≤ 60 D 60 < EEI ≤ 70 E 70 < EEI ≤ 85 F 85 < EEI ≤ 100 G (least efficient) EEI > 100 2. ACOUSTIC AIRBORNE NOISE EMISSION CLASS The acoustic airborne noise emission of a household tumble dryer shall be determined as the weighted average value (L WA ) of the sound power in the eco programme at full load during the drying cycle expressed in dB(A) and rounded to the nearest integer. The acoustic airborne noise emission class shall be determined on the basis of the L WA as set out in Table 2. Table 2 Acoustic airborne noise emission class Acoustic airborne noise emission class Noise (dB(A)) A L WA ≤ 60 B 60 < L WA ≤ 64 C 64 < L WA ≤ 68 D L WA &amp;amp;amp;gt; 68 3. CONDENSATION EFFICIENCY CLASS The condensation efficiency class shall be determined on the basis of the weighted condensation efficiency as set out in Table 3. Table 3 Condensation efficiency class Condensation efficiency class Weighted condensation efficiency A Ct ≥ 94 B 88 ≤ Ct < 94 C 82 ≤ Ct < 88 D Ct < 82
