  13. l VCs – Dust re-emission . Technical particle size included » E.g. 0.4 - 4 micron 13 NOUVELLE LÉGISLATION EUROPÉENNE POUR ÉCONOMISER L’ÉNERGIE |

  14. l VCs –: Dust re-emission . Technical impact on indoor environment » Indoor particulate much higher than outdoor levels » Significant health impact » Not clear that ‘very good’ filtration (e.g. 99.5%) significant improvement over ‘good’ filtration (e.g. 98%) » Very important to some consumers (e.g. households with asthma suffers) 14 NOUVELLE LÉGISLATION EUROPÉENNE POUR ÉCONOMISER L’ÉNERGIE |

  23. l VCs –: Cleaning performance Comments . Ecodesign » NL suggest limits of 65% carpets and 95% hard floor (5 double strokes) would meet (CECED) concerns about very low performance VCs receiving a label or better » Ro suggests limits » ECOS limit after 2 Double Strokes » ANEC limits of 55% carpets and 85% hard floor (2 double strokes) 23 NOUVELLE LÉGISLATION EUROPÉENNE POUR ÉCONOMISER L’ÉNERGIE |

  24. l VCs –: Energy Consumption . Real Life Behaviour Information available suggests » 2 double strokes (regardless of level of cleaning) 24 NOUVELLE LÉGISLATION EUROPÉENNE POUR ÉCONOMISER L’ÉNERGIE |

  25. l VCs –: Energy Consumption . Real Life v. EN standard » Real life Cleaning times implies about 2 double strokes in test » Floor must be covered at least once » Test floors probably ‘dirtier’ than real life (so fewer ‘double strokes’ needed to achieve set cleanliness) 25 NOUVELLE LÉGISLATION EUROPÉENNE POUR ÉCONOMISER L’ÉNERGIE |

Real Life v. prEN standard » Cleaning time implies about 2 double strokes in test » Floor must be covered at least once » Test floors probably ‘dirtier’ than real life (so fewer ‘double strokes’ needed to achieve set cleanliness) 26 NOUVELLE LÉGISLATION EUROPÉENNE POUR ÉCONOMISER L’ÉNERGIE |

  27. l VCs – : Energy Consumption . Study » LLCC for (standard size) vacuum cleaner 750W – about 28 kWh per year » Extra costs low (and saving from smaller motor) 27 NOUVELLE LÉGISLATION EUROPÉENNE POUR ÉCONOMISER L’ÉNERGIE |

  28. l VCs – : Energy Consumption . Annual Energy Consumption » Power input x Annual Cleaning time 28 NOUVELLE LÉGISLATION EUROPÉENNE POUR ÉCONOMISER L’ÉNERGIE |

  29. l VCs – : Energy Consumption . Annual Energy Consumption . ANEC – suggest label etc on rated input Power input x Annual Cleaning time power (A 800W G 1200 W) (as in study) 29 NOUVELLE LÉGISLATION EUROPÉENNE POUR ÉCONOMISER L’ÉNERGIE |

  30. l VCs – : Energy Consumption . Annual Cleaning time » 50 Cleans x 87M² x 2 double strokes x F x P + 5h idle time (divided between 40 M² carpet & 47 M² hard floor) (time to clean 87M² from head width and velocity of 0,5M/s) 30 NOUVELLE LÉGISLATION EUROPÉENNE POUR ÉCONOMISER L’ÉNERGIE |

  31. l VCs –: Correction Factor ‘F’ . Penalizes Vacuum Cleaners with ‘bad’ cleaning performance where after 2 double strokes users may still see visible dirt and so may continue to clean. 31 NOUVELLE LÉGISLATION EUROPÉENNE POUR ÉCONOMISER L’ÉNERGIE |

  32. . l VCs –: Correction Factor ‘F’ » For VCs with at least average Dust Pick up: 1 » For VCs with below average Dust Pick up: Average Cleaning performance Cleaning Performance 32 NOUVELLE LÉGISLATION EUROPÉENNE POUR ÉCONOMISER L’ÉNERGIE |

  33. l VCs –: Correction Factor ‘F’ Comment . Penalizes Vacuum Cleaners with ‘bad’ cleaning performance where after 2 double strokes users may still see visible dirt and . CECED suggests factor insufficient so so may continue to clean. VCs with very low power and very low performance could still receive A energy rating (or better) – but with G performance rating. 33 NOUVELLE LÉGISLATION EUROPÉENNE POUR ÉCONOMISER L’ÉNERGIE |
