This draft Commission Regulation amends the recently approved Regulations (EU) 2023/2533 on ecodesign requirements for household tumble dryers and (EU) 2023/826 on low power modes of electric and electronic household and office equipment.On Regulation (EU) 2023/2533, the following changes are made: Article 13 is amended to include the dates of entry into application of Articles 7, 12(1) and 12(2), which were missing in the Regulation. In Annex I, a definition of average final moisture content is added; the definition of standby mode is modified and new definitions related to low power modes are added. In Annex II, the names of some spare parts are modified; a new spare part (motor capacitor), is added; the obligation to display, on a free access website, the repair information of spare parts whose availability is limited to professional repairers is removed; and the paragraph related to the technical information to be provided for different operation modes is redrafted for better clarity. In Annex III, references to the average final moisture content, including the calculation method, are removed. In Annex IV, some redrafting has been made to better differentiate the validity criteria from the verification criteria. On Regulation (EU) 2023/826, the following changes are made: In Annex II, grinders are better defined by adding after the word grinder, ‘used in the kitchen for the processing of food’. In Annex IV, the text which is currently under letter d) of the second paragraph is inserted as a separate paragraph after the first paragraph. The definition of ‘motor-operated building elements’ is modified to ensure that all products listed in Annex II point 6 fall under the definition. Finally, a definition of ‘control unit’ is added to clarify the definition of ‘motor-operated building elements’ that refers to the control unit.
