Draft Energy Efficiency Ordinance

The present addendum only concerns the requirements for commercial dishwashers. Originally, integrated heat recovery was proposed as a minimum requirement for commercial dishwashers. Due to the comments received from the industry, this requirement was abandoned in favour of an obligation to publish standardised measured values for energy and water consumption. The product information must be provided in the technical documentation and on a freely accessible website of the supplier or manufacturer. However, it is not required that the values are shown in sales offers or on the appliances themselves (as is known from the energy label). The obligation enters into force on 1 January 2024. Products that do not meet the requirement may still be sold during a 12-month transition period until 31 December 2024.
