The start and finish of each commonmodification is indicated in the text by tags .BSI, as a member of CENELEC, is obliged to publish EN 61121 as a BritishStandard. However, attention is drawn to the
3、fact that the UK committeevoted against its approval as a European standard. The technical reasonfor this is given below.It is the opinion of the UK committee that Annex ZB contains potentiallyconfusing information.Annex III of EU Regulation 932/2012 (ecodesign requirements forhousehold tumble drier
4、s) and Annex V of EU Regulation 392/2012(energy labelling of household tumble driers) both describe verificationprocedure for market surveillance purposes. These requirements are foruse by market surveillance authorities only; they should not be utilizedby manufacturers or other economic operators.H
5、owever, Annex ZB of this standard gives the impression thatmanufacturers should take these verification tolerances into account.Manufacturers are advised to record and report the results ofmeasurements and calculations directly without making any adjustmentsfor tolerances, as implied by Annex ZB.Whe
