THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 July 2017 setting a framework for energy labelling and repealing Directive 2010/30/EU^note, and in particular Article 16(1) thereof,Whereas:

(1)Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2534^note lays down harmonised requirements for the labelling of household tumble dryers, enabling customers to make informed purchasing decisions based on the energy efficiency and supplementary information about the appliances. Article 3 of that Regulation also specifies the content and format of the product information sheet and technical documentation and requires suppliers to enter the relevant parameters in the European Product Registry for Energy Labelling (EPREL).

(2)It is important to address the significant decrease in the lifespan of household tumble dryers over the last 15 years, which has prompted an increase in the rate of production to compensate for the shorter lifetime. Providing information on the repairability of tumble dryers through a repairability index could generate several environmental, social and economic benefits by encouraging consumers to choose more repairable products. The repairability index should be calculated on the basis of parameters that are relevant for assessing the ease of repair of a household tumble dryer.

(3)As from 1 January 2027, any household tumble dryer placed on the market should be accompanied by a label and a product information sheet containing repairability information. In order to ensure a smooth introduction of the repairability index, suppliers could provide labels that include the repairability information in advance of the mandatory deadline of 1 January 2027, instead of labels without the repairability information.

(4)Since the implementation of a repairability index does not involve a rescaling of the label, dealers should be allowed, after 1 January 2027 to sell, without limitation of time household tumble dryers placed on the market before that date, with labels that do not include the repairability index.

(5)In order to improve repairability of household tumble dryers, an additional element should be included in the review provided for by Article 7 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2534, namely the assessment of the possibility to include heat pumps among the priority parts taken into account when calculating the repairability index.

(6)In order to ensure legal certainty relevant definitions regarding the repairability index and the average final moisture content should be added.

(7)In order to help consumers to make informed choices about household tumble dryers degree of repair and maintenance, the relevant repairability class should be included in the energy labels for both condenser and non-condenser household tumble dryers, ranging from A to E, where the top class A corresponds to household tumble dryers with the best repairability indexes and the lower class E to household tumble dryers with the worst repairability indexes.

(8)The term ‘logo’ should be replaced by ‘pictogram’ in the description of the label provided in Annex III, to be consistent with other delegated acts on energy labelling. Furthermore, the reference to the EU Ecolabel should be deleted from Annex III, since the EU Ecolabel is no longer awarded.

(9)A method for the calculation of the repairability index of household tumble dryers, allowing to assign a repairability class to each model of household tumble dryers, should be defined.

(10)The calculation of the repairability index should be carried out through a formula based on specific scoring parameters which have been considered relevant to determine the easiness of repair for each model of household tumble dryer. Those scoring parameters are the disassembly depth, the fasteners type, the tools type and the repair information.

(11)Except for the repair information, which must be assessed at product level, the other three scoring parameters should be evaluated at the level of the part of the household tumble dryer to be replaced. For this reason, priority parts have been selected and included in the formula of each scoring parameter, with a weighted average reflecting the relevance of each priority part in terms of sales and failure rates.

(12)The description of the disassembly steps used to calculate the disassembly depth scoring parameter, should be consistent with the repair and maintenance information to be provided to professional repairers.

(13)It is appropriate to remove from the information to be provided in the technical documentation of the product, the details of the calculation method of the average final moisture content of the eco programme which were originally set in Annex IV, point 1(g) to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2534. It has been noticed that obtaining 0 % value in the average final moisture content is frequently accompanied by undesired negative side effects, in terms of textiles heat damage from overdrying and excessive consumption of energy, which are to be avoided. Instead, the measurement and calculation methods provided for in the harmonised standards should be used to calculate this parameter as these provide for appropriate tolerances.

(14)In order to ensure consumers informed choices and encourage sustainable consumption, information on the repairability index and the partial scores for each of the scoring parameters should be part of the product information sheet. To avoid unnecessary administrative burden for suppliers, only changes in the global score of the repairability index of a product should be deemed relevant for the definition of a new model. On the opposite, changes in the partial calculations of the scoring parameters that do not alter the global reparability index are deemed not relevant.

(15)In order to avoid confusion for suppliers and market surveillance authorities, the content of the technical documentation including the relevant reparability information should be clarified.

(16)Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2534 should therefore be amended accordingly,

—WP is the water pump;

—maintained as required in the user manual for daily use;

—water pump: 16,1 steps;

—if DD ≤ 0,70 × MDS, DD_i = 10 pt;

—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;

—reusable fasteners F_i = 10 pt;

—replacement possible with basic tools or without a tool, T_i = 10 pt;

—availability of repair information at no cost for professional repairers, S_RI = 10 pt;

—S_F is the “Fasteners (type)” score;

—B is the drum bearing;

—fully assembled;

—drum bearing: 18,9 steps;

—if 0,70 × MDS< DD ≤ 0,90 × MDS, DD_i = 7 pt;

—fasteners are not considered as a part;

—resupplied fasteners at no cost, F_i = 7 pt;

—replacement possible with tools supplied with the spare part, T_i = 5 pt;

—availability of repair information with a reasonable and proportionate fee for professional repairers, S_RI = 0 pt.

—S_T is the “Tools (type)” score;

—DB is the drum belt;

—standing, all side panels and the appliance cover freely accessible;

—drum belt: 40,9 steps;

—if 0,90 × MDS < DD ≤ 1,10 × MDS, DD_i = 4 pt;

—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;

—resupplied fasteners at additional costs, F_i = 4 pt;

—replacement possible with commercially available tools, T_i = 0 pt.

—S_RI is the “Repair Information” score.

—door: 3 steps;

—if 1,10 × MDS < DD ≤ 1,30 × MDS, DD_i = 1 pt;

—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;

—removable fasteners, F_i = 0 pt.

—M is the motor;

—motor: 49,4 steps;

—if DD > 1,30 × MDS, DD_i = 0 pt.

—operations related to cleaning, removing traces or heating are counted as steps;

The Repairability Index (R) shall be calculated as follows:R0,450× SDD +0,225× SF +0,225× ST +0,100× SRIand 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: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:After the assessment the product shall be fully reassembled.5.1.The “Disassembly Depth” (S_DD) score shall be calculated as follows:SDDDDWP ×0,14+ DDB ×0,09+ DDDB ×0,25+ DDD ×0,08+ DDM ×0,05+ DDMB ×0,28+ DDF ×0,05+ DDMC ×0,06Disassembly Depth (DD) assessment at part levelThe 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:Points ranging from 0 to 10 are assigned to DD_i for each priority part as follows:For the calculation of DD, the following rules shall apply:5.2.The Fasteners type score (S_F) is calculated as follows:SFFWP × 0, 14 + FB ×0,09+ FDB ×0,25+ FD ×0,08+ FM ×0,05+ FMB ×0,28+ FF ×0,05+ FMC ×0,06Fasteners (type) (F) assessment at part levelThe “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: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:STTWP × 0, 14 + TB ×0,09+ TDB ×0,25+ TD ×0,08+ TM ×0,05+ TMB ×0,28+ TF ×0,05+ TMC ×0,06Tools type (T) assessment at part levelThe 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: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.5.4Repair Information (RI) assessment at product levelThe 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: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.
