Vacuum cleaners for household use - Part 2: Wet cleaning appliances - Methods of measuring the performance

IEC 60312-2:2010(E) applicable to wet cleaning appliances for household use in or under conditions similar to those in households. The purpose of this standard is to specify essential performance characteristics of wet cleaning appliances being of interest to the users and to describe methods for measuring these characteristics and is complementary to the methods for dry cleaning vacuum cleaner in IEC 60312-1. Due to 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. For safety requirements, reference is made to IEC 60335-1 and IEC 60335-2-2.

Title : IEC 60312-2 Ed 1.0: Vacuum cleaners for household use - Part 2: Wet vacuum cleaner - Methods of measuring the performance
Note d'introduction La version française sera diffusée ultérieurement. Introductory note This CDV has been prepared as part of the project to split the present IEC 60312 Ed 4.0 into separate parts for dry and wet cleaning. As the project on updating the dry cleaning part has advanced to CDV stage and is expected to be published as IEC 60312-1 first half next year, this CDV aimed to maintain a standard on methods for testing wet cleaning performance in order to allow for withdrawal of the present IEC 60312. As a consequence of this, except for editorial changes, only minor changes compared with present standard has been introduced.
French version will be circulated later. ATTENTION VOTE PARALLÈLE CEI – CENELEC L’attention des Comités nationaux de la CEI, membres du CENELEC, est attirée sur le fait que ce projet de comité pour vote (CDV) de Norme internationale est soumis au vote parallèle.

VACUUM CLEANERS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE –
PART 2: WET CLEANING APPLIANCES METHODS OF 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.
