The IEC standard is internationally recognised and is used by all manufacturers. The standard specifies the size and quantity of the place settings fitted in the dishwasher. Each place setting includes a normal plate, a bowl, a side plate, a coffee cup, a drinking glass and cutlery.

Indicates the form the dishwasher takes.
Inbuilt - These cost more than their freestanding cousins. They are designed to resemble a kitchen unit, so they look more like cupboards
Integrated - A type of built-in dishwasher that can be fully-integrated into the surrounding kitchen furniture.
Freestanding - A freestanding dishwasher slots into place beneath a kitchen worktop or draining board..
Tabletop - A small dishwasher that you can place on the countertop.

A full size dishwasher has a width of 60cm were a slimline have a width of 45cm.

Indicates the noise level. For the noise level to be acceptable it should not rise above 50 dB.

Child safety devices can come in many forms. A common safety feature is a lock for the hatch and an automatic turnoff if the hatch is opened during washing cycle. This feature is especially important if the product uses water with high temperatures.

A feature which keeps the machine from flooding.

Indicates what kind of program guidance the machine comes with. Electronic guidance is more durable and increases the lifespan of the machine. You choose your desired program with just the one knob.

Generally, most modern appliances are being built to be compatible with all worldwide voltages, from 100 volts in Japan to 240 volts in the United Kingdom. However the power outlets differs between countries.

Examples:
Input: ~100-240V 50/60Hz 65W -- This means the appliance is compatible with multiple voltages. This item can be used just about anywhere in the world, and any difference in voltage is basically irrelevant.

Input: 115/230V 50/60Hz 200W -- This means that the appliance can be switched between 110-120 volts in North America, and 220-240 volts in other parts of the world. This is common of desktop computers and some hair dryers/irons/etc. You probably have to flip a switch setting it in the proper position.

Input: 120V 60Hz 2.8A -- This means that the appliance is only compatible with a single voltage, in this case, 120 volts. To use this appliance safely, the voltage needs to be changed from 220-240 volts to 110-120 volts by way of a voltage converter or transformer.

Energy efficiency classes are graded on a scale from A to G - A being more energy efficient. The energy label is applicable to most white goods, cars, light bulbs etc. According to EU directives (92/75/CEE, 94/2/CE, 95/12/CE, 96/89/CE, 2003/66/CE), the label must be displayed.

A+ and A++ are most energy effective. Those grades was introduced at a later stage.

This feature enables you to set a delayed starting time for the dishwashers program.
