This part of IEC 62885 is applicable to dry-cleaning robots for household use or under conditions similar to those in households.
The purpose of this document is to specify the essential performance characteristics of dry-cleaning robots that are of interest to
users and to describe methods for measuring these characteristics.
Due to nature of the way this product operates in the home, comparisons with other types of surface cleaning appliances (e.g.
dry vacuum cleaners) should not be made unless otherwise indicated. The cleaning performance methods, in particular, should
only be used to make comparisons with other dry-cleaning robots and not with manually operated vacuum cleaner products.
This document is concerned neither with safety requirements nor with performance requirements.

This part of IEC 62885 is applicable to measurements of the performance of cordless dry
vacuum cleaners for household use or under conditions similar to those in households. The
results obtained under this document are intended to be comparable to the results obtained
under IEC 62885-2 for mains-connected vacuums.
The purpose of this document is to specify essential performance characteristics of cordless
dry vacuum cleaners which are of interest to users and to describe methods for measuring
these characteristics.
NOTE 1 Owing to the influence of environmental conditions, variations in time, origin of test materials and
proficiency of the operator, most of the described test methods give more reliable results when applied to
comparative testing of a number of appliances at the same time, in the same laboratory and by the same operator.
NOTE 2 This document is not intended for mains-operated vacuum cleaners or cleaning robots.
NOTE 3 Cordless handheld vacuums are excluded, except for 5.7.2 and 5.8.
For safety requirements, reference is made to IEC 60335-1 and IEC 60335-2-2.
A recommendation on information for the consumer at the point of sale is given in Annex B of
IEC 62885-2.

IEC 60335-2-69:2012(E) deals with the safety of electrical motor-operated vacuum cleaners, including back-pack vacuum cleaners, and dust extractors, for wet suction, dry suction, or wet and dry suction, intended for commercial indoor or outdoor use with or without attachments. It also deals with the safety of centrally-sited vacuum cleaners, excluding the installation of the system. They are not equipped with a traction drive. The following power systems are covered: mains powered motors up to a rated voltage of 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances, battery powered motors. This standard also applies to machines handling hazardous dust, such as asbestos. This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2002 and its Amendments 1 (2004) and 2 (2007). It constitutes a technical revision. The principal changes in this edition as compared with the third edition of IEC 60335-2-69 are as follows (minor changes are not listed): - the scope has been revised editorially to avoid misunderstandings; - terms and definitions has been revised with regard to the requirements revised; - the standard has been revised in general and updated regarding state-of-the-art, as far as necessary, in particular some changes have been made to Clauses 15, 22 and 25; - Annex AA was revised and restructured; - Annex CC was made informative; - a new Annex EE 'Emission of acoustical noise' was added and; - a new Annex FF 'Emission of vibration' was added.
