Compare programmes for the same soil class and acceptance criteria; measure water, energy and chemical inputs while retaining verified hygiene acceptance.
For the same soil class and load, record programme, water, energy and chemical inputs; compare verification results with existing acceptance criteria. Lower resource use does not make a cycle acceptable if it fails criteria; product and hygiene decisions follow approved procedure.
A shorter programme alone does not prove efficiency.
Measure water, energy and chemicals for the same load and criteria.
Do not trade verified hygiene requirements for an environmental target.
