Energy efficiency ratings
At Bosch our aim is to not only provide you with reliable, high quality products that make your life easier, but to also protect and promote a sustainable environment for future generations. This means that every time we design a new product our ideas are based on ecological principles, to ensure that we make the most economic use of natural resources, and avoid pollution of the air, soil and water.
Energy efficiency ratings Energy efficiency labels are informative labels affiliated to manufactured products. These labels are able to indicate
a products energy performance in order to provide consumers with the necessary data for making informed purchase decisions.
The more efficient a product is the less energy it requires and the more you get for your money. Not only is this saving of electricity good for your wallet, but it is good for the
environment too; between 1995 and 2000 there has been a saving of three- quarter
These are categorised as follows:
Class A – C | good |
Class D | average |
Class E – G | poor |
Bosch is proud to announce that not one of its integrated appliances have a rating lower than “C” with over 80% of the appliances having a rating of B or higher.
Fridges and freezers energy labelling
Fridges and freezers are the most hardworking appliances in your kitchen as they are on the go 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The energy label is able to provide information about their performance and physical characteristics. These include the annual consumption of energy (in kWh p/a) as well as the storage volume of the compartments (in Litres). All Bosch cooling appliances, even the entry level models have very efficient energy ratings. It is important to note that the energy label supplies you with the net volume as opposed to the gross volume of the unit. This is the usable volume of the fridge as opposed to the overall volume, and can therefore be relatively important when making a decision as to which unit is best for you. Bosch cooling products have been converted to CFC and HFC free materials in 1993 already. This means that the harmful substances previously used in the insulation materials have been replaced with environmentally friendly natural gases which do not damage the ozone layer or increase the harmful greenhouse effect.
Dishwashers energy labelling
The energy label for dishwashers has gradually been introduced to the whole of Europe since 1999.The aim of this is to reduce energy consumption, while at the same time not having any adverse effect on the cleaning and drying performance of the appliance.
Dishwashers, in general, use the Eco50°C programme as its standard programme upon which energy consumption is rated. The energy label for dishwashers comprises 3 classifications namely:
•Energy efficiency
•Cleaning performance
•Drying performance
The values are determined according to the
Washing machines energy labelling
The aim of the energy efficiency label is to offer consumers a standardised method of choosing the most energy efficient appliance, while at the same time offering you the best possible washing results.
Washing machines use the Cotton 60°C program as its standard program upon which energy efficiency, washing performance
and
The energy label for washing machines compromises 3 classifications (ranging from “A” to “G” rating) namely:
•Energy efficiency
•Washing performance
•
The values are determined according to the reformulated norm EN60456.
Tumble dryers energy labelling
There is a difference between condensation and vented dryers, with condensation dryers having
a lower energy efficiency than vented dryers.
