Converting water consumption into litres per year from new EU energy labels

  • Created:
  • Reference: KBCN1548

The following conversion factors may be used to convert the water consumption on new EU energy labels from litres per cycle (L/cycle) into litres per year (L/year):

Dishwasher: multiply water consumption figure on EU energy label by 208 (to go from L/cycle to L/year).

Washing machines: multiply water consumption figure on EU energy label by 220 (to go from L/cycle to L/year).

This follows equivalent guidance for converting energy consumption (see KBCN1462).
