FOM 71 MP-Lab
Empty run test data
During the CLS MP-Lab ring test, data was obtained from a number of laboratories.
This data is useful when checking that the reference machine in the laboratory is
performing as expected.
Please note: This data is obtained from runs with an unloaded machine. Therefore,
the energy and process times obtained here cannot be compared with the same
parameters applied during a test series carried out with a loaded machine. However,
empty test runs are not affected by load differentials or detergent batches and will
only produce results that are specific to the machine.
Table1belowshowstheestimated/denedvaluesforCotton60°C,aswellasav-
erage values from the RRT 2008 ring test.
The RRT 2008 average values were obtained from the RRT 008 IEC/CENELEC/CE-
CED ring test. These values are based on empty run tests undertaken at 15 different
laboratories.
The definitions used in Table 1 differ from those given in IEC 60456 and below are
applicable to Table1.
Definitions
Total program time: Time from the start of first filling to the start
of the retardation phase at the end extraction
sequence.
Heating time: The time until the heating relays have been
switched on during the different heating peri-
ods.
Total main wash time: The time from start of first filling until the start
of first rinse water supply.
Filling time of water: The first filling time (26 litre). From closure of
door lock relay to end of filling.
Cold water inlet temperature: The temperature of the supplied cold water.
Temp at end of heating in
enzyme step: The temperature at the time the heating relay is
switched off after reaching the 40ºC enzyme
step.
Temp at the end of the
enzyme step: The temperature in the bath just
prior to the heating up to 60ºC.
