NOM-005-ENER-2012: Energy efficiency of household electric washing machines. Limits, testing methods and labeling

This standard establishes the minimum energy factor levels in L/kWh/cycle for automatic washing machines according to their type (impeller, agitator or stirrer with heating element), their axis (vertical or horizontal) and their size. It also establishes maximum levels of energy consumption (kWh/year) for manual and semi-automatic washing machines according to their type (impeller or agitator) and their size. See the attachment for the minimum efficiency levels.
The standard NOM-005-ENER-2012 supersedes the standard NOM-005-ENER-2010. The 2012 version sets energy performance requirements depending on the operation type. For automatic washing machines uses an energy factor in L/kWh/cycle and for manual and semi-automatic washing machines uses maximum energy consumption levels by year (kWh/year).
