RRT 2008: Machine Logistics Test Materials Treatments 1 & 2 Horizontal Axis 28 labs >> 10 machines Treatment 3 Vertical Axis (Agitator type) 8 labs = 8 labs Treatment 3 Vertical Axis (Impeller type) 8 labs = 8 labs For treatments 1 & 2 up to 4 test labs share the machines sent around Eletros IEC 60456 orkshop, RRT 08 Test Protocol, Sao Paulo, 2008-08-26
RRT 2008: Machine documentation Test Materials Each M achine will have an identification number im portant to track single machine: - Link pre-test results done by the manufacturer to pre-test results of the lab - H A up to 4 labs will test one m achine compare results - HA - up to 6 test series in one machine Eletros IEC 60456 orkshop, RRT 08 Test Protocol, Sao Paulo, 2008-08-26
RRT 2008: Machine documentation Test Materials Each Machine will come with: - a manual - a step-by-step programme setting instructions for B oth documents will be available on the website. the test programme 1. ater level - S e lect Super Plus f or the maximum water level. 2. Temperature - Se lect arm water setting 3. Rinse plus - S elect Off 4. Fabric Selection - Select Norma l ( High/High) 5. Cycle Selection - Sele ct HEAVY Cycle 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

RRT 2008: Machine shipment Test Materials It is essential to keep all transportation bolts and the robust re-usa ble boxes provided for shipment. In case a machine breaks down during shi pment tests needs to be re-organized. Check machines o n arrival. Install machines according to the manual. Preparation of the washing machine after installation (according to IEC 60456) After installation, the test washing machine shall be run for two complete normalization runs on the programme with the maximum wash temperature set for the maximum water level possible, the first ru n without load and with 50 g of the reference detergent and the second run with out load and without detergent.

RRT 2008: Pre-Testing test machines E ach machine is pre-tested from the manufacturer: One empty run One run with test load but no detergent/strips The following data will be collected: main wash water consumption total water consumption main wash duration total duration energy consumption final spin speed remaining moisture content Each machine is re-tested on arrival in the test lab. R esults are compared and feedback is given to each single lab if: -> P re-tests were ok Performance tests can start -> Results not ok - Clarification needed Test Materials Pre-tests ok!
