European foreword
This document (EN IEC 60436:2025/A11:2025) has been prepared by CLC/TC 59X “Performance of household
and similar electrical appliances”.
The following dates are fixed:
• latest date by which this document has to be (dop) 2026-09-30
implemented at national level by publication of
an identical national standard or by
endorsement
• latest date by which the national standards (dow) 2026-09-30
conflicting with this document have to be
withdrawn
This document modifies EN IEC 60436:2025.
EN IEC 60436:2025 includes the following significant technical changes with respect to EN 60436:2020:
— Implementation of a new reference machine, which better reflects modern dishwasher energy and water
saving technologies. Its ability to function as a reference machine for the cleaning assessment was
assessed in a Round Robin Test.
— Implementation of the new reference detergent type E, which better reflects market detergents formulations.
It includes upgraded enzymes and a lower content of silicates to reduce the alkalinity which simplifies the
worldwide transportation by avoiding dangerous goods labelling and therefore improves the usage all over
the world.
— Implementation of an alignment factor for the cleaning performance assessment as proposed in a scientific
study done by a university to align test results of the previous version to the new version of this standard
with the new reference system described above.
— Introduction of alternatives for the oven pan and knifes as the production of the current load items were
stopped.
— Improvement of the control of the room temperature due to a temperature measurement inside the
dishwasher prior to the start of the test programme.
— Update of the weight of different load items and the specified ranges to anneal the requirements in the
standard to the actual weight of the items.
— New requirements for the loading and handling instructions for test institutes.
— Update of supplier information annex.
— Update of Annex ZC Test report template and ZD Uncertainty of measurement.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document is read in conjunction with EN IEC 60436:2025.
Any feedback and questions on this document should be directed to the users’ national committee. A complete
listing of these bodies can be found on the CENELEC website.
1 Modification to Clause 3, “Terms, definitions and symbols”

“ISO 607:1980”
Replace in 5.8 “rinse aid” the last sentence with the following:
