30.11.2010 Official Journal of the European Union L 314/47 COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) No 1061/2010 of 28 September 2010 supplementing Directive 2010/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to energy labelling of household washing machines (Text with EEA relevance) THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION, Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Having regard to Directive 2010/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 May 2010 on the indi- cation by labelling and standard product information of the consumption of energy and other resources by energy-related products (*), and in particular Article 10 thereof, Whereas: () ) Directive 2010/30/EU requires the Commission to adopt delegated acts as regards the labelling of energy-related products representing significant potential for energy savings and having a wide disparity in performance levels with equivalent functionality. Provisions on the energy labelling of household washing machines were established by Commission Directive 95/12/EC of 23 May 1995 implementing Council Directive 92/75/EEC with regard to energy labelling of household electric washing machines (2). The electricity used by household washing machines accounts for a significant share of total household elec- tricity demand in the Union. In addition to the energy efficiency improvements already achieved, the scope for further reducing the energy consumption of household washing machines is substantial. Directive 95/12/EC  should be repealed and new provisions should be laid down by this Regulation in order to ensure that the energy label provides dynamic incentives for suppliers to further improve the energy efficiency of household washing machines and to accelerate the market transformation towards energy- efficient technologies.

() (11) () ) O] O] Household combined washer-driers fall within the scope of Commission Directive 96/60/EC of 19 September 1996 implementing Council Directive 92/75/EEC with regard to energy labelling of household combined washer-driers (}) and should therefore be excluded from the scope of this Regulation. However, considering that they offer similar functionalities to household washing machines, a revision of Directive 96/60/EC should take place as soon as possible. The information provided on the label should be obtained through reliable, accurate and reproducible measurement procedures, which take into account the recognised  state-of-the-art ~ measurement — methods including, where available, harmonised standards adopted by the European standardisation bodies, as listed in Annex I to Directive 98/34/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 June 1998 laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of technical standards and regu- lations and of rules on Information Society services (¥). This Regulation should specify a uniform design and content for the label for household washing machines. In addition, this Regulation should specify requirements as to the technical documentation and the fiche for household washing machines. Moreover, this Regulation should specify requirements as to the information to be provided for any form of distance selling, advertisements and technical promo- tional materials for household washing machines. It is appropriate to provide for a review of the provisions of this Regulation taking into account technological progress. In order to facilitate the transition from Directive 95/12/EC to this Regulation, provisions should be made that household washing machines labelled in accordance with this Regulation should be considered as compliant with Directive 95/12/EC.
