Surface cleaning appliances - Part 6: Wet hard floor cleaning appliances for household or similar use - Methods for measuring the performance
This International Standard is applicable for measurements of the performance of wet hard floor cleaning appliances for household use in or under conditions similar to those in households. In the case of appliances with combined functionality, this standard only addresses the wet cleaning functionality.
The purpose of this standard is to specify essential performance characteristics of wet hard floor cleaning appliances which are of interest to users and to describe methods for measuring these characteristics.
NOTE 1 Due to the influence of environmental conditions, variations in time, origin of test materials and proficiency of the operator, most of the described test methods will give more reliable results when applied for comparative testing of a number of appliances at the same time, in the same laboratory and by the same operator.
NOTE 2 This standard is not intended for cordless and robotic wet hard floor cleaning appliances.
For safety requirements, reference is made to IEC 60335-1, IEC 60335-2-2, IEC 60335-2-10, and IEC 60335-2-54.
A recommendation on information for the consumer at the point of sale is given in Annex B.

Naprave za površinsko čiščenje - 6. del: Čistilniki za mokro čiščenje trdih tal za gospodinjsko in podobno uporabo - Metode za merjenje učinkovitosti
Ta mednarodni standard se uporablja za merjenje zmogljivosti čistilnikov za mokro čiščenje trdih tal za gospodinjsko in podobno uporabo pod pogoji, ki ustrezajo ali so podobni pogojem v gospodinjstvih. V primeru aparatov s kombinirano funkcionalnostjo ta standard obravnava samo funkcijo mokrega čiščenja.
Namen tega standarda je določiti glavne lastnosti delovanja čistilnikov za mokro čiščenje trdih tal, ki zanimajo uporabnike, ter opisati metode za merjenje teh lastnosti.
OPOMBA 1: Zaradi vpliva okoljskih pogojev, časovne spremenljivosti, izvora materialov za preskušanje in usposobljenosti upravljavca večina opisanih preskusnih metod pokaže zanesljivejše rezultate, če se uporabijo pri istočasnem primerjalnem preskušanju več aparatov, ki ga en upravljavec izvede v istem laboratoriju.
OPOMBA 2: Ta standard ni namenjen za brezžične in robotske čistilnike za mokro čiščenje trdih tal.
Pri varnostnih zahtevah se upošteva standarde IEC 60335-1, IEC 60335-2-2, IEC 60335-2-10 in IEC 60335-2-54.

Methods for measuring the performance
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC/ASTM 62885-6 has been prepared by a Joint Working Group of
subcommittee 59F: Surface cleaning appliances, of IEC technical committee 59: Performance
of household and similar electrical appliances and ASTM Committee F11: Vacuum cleaners.
It is published as a dual logo standard.

4 General conditions for testing
4.1 Atmospheric conditions
Unless otherwise specified, the test procedures and measurements shall be carried out under
the following conditions:
Standard atmosphere 23/50
Temperature: (23 ± 2) °C
Relative humidity: (50 ± 5) %
Air pressure: 86 kPa to 106 kPa
Temperature and humidity conditions within the specified ranges are required for good
repeatability and reproducibility. Care should be taken to avoid changes during a test.
For test procedures and measurements, which may be carried out at conditions other than
standard atmospheric conditions, the ambient temperature shall be maintained at (23 ± 5) °C.
NOTE Due to the influence of environmental conditions, variations in time, origin of test materials and proficiency
of the operator, most of the described test methods will give more reliable results when applied for comparative
testing of a number of appliances at the same time, in the same laboratory and by the same operator.
4.2 Test equipment and materials
Equipment and materials for measurements (devices, test surfaces, stains, soils, etc.) to be
used in a test shall, prior to the test, be stored for at least 16 h at standard atmospheric
conditions in accordance with 4.1.
4.3 Voltage and frequency
Unless otherwise stated, measurements shall be carried out at rated voltage with a tolerance
of ±1 % and, if applicable, at rated frequency.
Wet hard floor cleaners designed for DC only shall be operated at DC. Wet hard floor
cleaners designed for both AC and DC shall be operated at AC. Wet hard floor cleaners not
marked with rated frequency shall be operated at either (50 ± 1) Hz or (60 ± 1) Hz with a total
harmonic distortion of < 3 %, as is common in the country of use.
For wet hard floor cleaners with a rated voltage range, measurements shall be carried out at
the mean value of the voltage range if the difference between the limits of the range does not
