31、C with the intent of being published as a consensus document in the near future.The environmental performance of clothes washing home appliances is commonly evaluated on the single environmental attribute of electricity and water consumption during use. This Standard takes a broader, multi-attribute
32、, and more holistic approach to assessing the environmental impacts of clothes washing home appliances. The multi-attribute approach was developed using life-cycle assessment (LCA) information along with other key factors such as hot-spot or hot-button analyses influencing product environmental perf
33、ormance. This approach, detailed in Annex A, determined the environmental attributes of clothes washing appliances for inclusion in this Standard.All parties have agreed that this Standard will be updated at the time a new U.S. Department of Energy or Natural Resources Canada minimum energy standard
34、 change occurs or within three years from the date this Standard is published. Many of the measurements included within this Standard are unique and have not been conducted on other appliance categories. The Task Force expects to learn much from the application of this First Edition in the coming ye
35、ars. The use of this Standard, self-assessment by clothes washer manufacturers, and external third-party assessment will be used to improve the Standard in drafting the second and subsequent editions.This Standard was written specifically for products placed on the market in the United States and Ca
36、nada. At the present time, a number of the calculations are based on systems specific to North America. This Standard was prepared by the Task Force on AHAM-CSA Group-UL Sustainability Standard for Household Clothes Washing Appliances, under the jurisdiction of the AHAM Major Appliance Engineering C
37、ouncil, CSA Strategic Steering Committee on Business Management and Sustainability, and UL Environment.InterpretationsThe interpretation by the standards development organization of an identical or equivalent standard is based on the literal text to determine compliance with the standard in accordan
38、ce with the procedural rules of the standards development organization. If more than one interpretation of the literal text has been identified, a revision is to be proposed as soon as possible to each of the standards development organizations to more accurately reflect the intent.Sustainability St

40、ance in an apartment building) included within the scope of the U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) and Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) minimum energy performance requirements. This includes the following product categories:(a)top loading, compact (less than 1.6 cubic feet capacity);(b) top loading, st
41、andard;(c) front loading, standard; and(d) front loading, compact (less than 1.6 cubic feet capacity).Note: The Task Force intends to expand the scope to include combination all-in-one washer-dryers in future editions. New product categories and information on the environmental performance of the ad
42、ditional categories might be considered in order to determine the scope of future editions. DOE standards cover stacked washer-dryer units, and therefore they are within the scope of this Standard.1.2This Standard does not cover semi-automatic or suds-saving clothes washers, as the U.S. Department o
43、f Energy is unaware of any models currently on the market.1.3This Standard does not include directions for conformity assessment or the use of a mark/seal of conformity assessment.1.4In this Standard, “shall” is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in
44、order to comply with the Standard; “should” is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; and “may” is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the Standard.Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requi
45、rements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material.Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements.Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (non-mandatory)
