prEN IEC 60335-2-67:2026/prAA:2026 is a CENELEC draft amendment prepared by CLC/TC 61 for the safety of floor treatment machines for commercial use. It modifies the European standard for powered machines used to scrub, pick up, polish, wax, shampoo, strip, grind, and scarify floors in commercial settings, with added provisions for instructions, noise, and vibration information.

What does prEN IEC 60335-2-67:2026/prAA:2026 specify?

prEN IEC 60335-2-67:2026/prAA:2026 specifies common European modifications to the base Part 2-67 standard for commercial floor treatment machines. It is arranged as changes to the Introduction, Clause 1 on scope, Clause 2 on normative references, Clause 7 on markings and instructions, the annexes, and the bibliography.

The scope in the amended text covers powered floor treatment machines for commercial indoor or outdoor use. The applications named include scrubbing, wet or dry pick-up, polishing and dry buffing, application of wax, sealing products and powder based detergents, shampooing, and stripping, grinding and scarifying of floors with an artificial surface.

The document also makes clear that the machines are not equipped with a traction drive and that the power systems covered include internal combustion engines, mains-powered motors, and battery-operated machines. The locations named in the scope help users decide whether a machine is within the standard’s intended commercial use, not normal housekeeping.

Annex	What it covers
Annex CC	Airborne noise emission requirements and information, now normative
Annex DD	Vibration emission requirements and information, now normative, including repeated shock vibration
Annex ZA	Normative references to international publications and corresponding European publications
Annex ZC	Special national conditions

What are the key requirements of prEN IEC 60335-2-67:2026/prAA:2026?

prEN IEC 60335-2-67:2026/prAA:2026 adds practical obligations for marking, instructions, noise, and vibration. The most important effect is that manufacturers must provide clearer user information and document acoustic and vibration emissions in the way required by the amended annexes.

Scope and hazard coverage

The amended scope says the document deals with reasonably foreseeable hazards arising from intended use, including hazards for persons and, where relevant, domestic animals. It also states that the term appliance includes machine, and that radio appliance is used with the same meaning as radio equipment in this scope. In practice, this aligns terminology and broadens the safety view beyond only the operator.

Marking and digital contact

Clause 7.1 adds a requirement for the appliance to carry the manufacturer’s website, email address, or another digital contact route. If the appliance is too small or its nature does not allow that marking, the information may be given on the packaging or in an accompanying document. This matters because users and service staff need a direct contact point for instructions, support, and after-sales questions.

Clause 7.1.Z101 adds access marking for digital instructions. When instructions are supplied digitally, the appliance, packaging, or an accompanying document must show how to reach them, and compliance is checked by inspection.

Instructions for safe use

Clause 7.12 requires instructions to be supplied in hard copy or digital format so the appliance can be used safely. The instructions must include the substance of the warnings about reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, children, and supervision of children and domestic animals. This helps the user set up training and supervision rules before the machine is put into service.

The instructions must also cover reasonably foreseeable misuse and any effect it may have on safe use. For appliances intended for stripping, grinding, and scarifying, the instructions must state the characteristics of any capturing, filtration, or discharge device, and the conditions needed to keep it effective. Repairs must be carried out by competent persons.

Noise and vibration information

The foreword says the amendment introduces requirements for shock and vibration measurement. Clause 7.12.102 requires airborne noise emission information as given in Annex CC, and Clause 7.12.103 requires vibration emission information as given in Clause DD.2. In practice, this gives buyers and safety teams data they can use when choosing machines for workplaces with exposure controls.

Annex DD also adds a repeated shock vibration emission value where that measurement applies, using ISO 5349-3:2025. That matters for machines that produce intermittent impacts, because the vibration declaration must reflect the relevant use pattern.

National conditions

Annex ZC adds national conditions for Finland and Switzerland. These cover a low-temperature outdoor-use warning for a PVC sheathed cord in Finland, and specific plug requirements for certain outdoor machines in Switzerland. For market entry, these conditions affect what must be stated or fitted in those countries.

What terms does prEN IEC 60335-2-67:2026/prAA:2026 define?

• floor treatment machines - Powered machines covered by the standard for commercial floor cleaning and surface treatment tasks.
• traction drive - A drive system that the covered machines do not have.
• appliance - The document uses this term with the same meaning as machine where applicable.
• radio appliance - The scope uses this term with the same meaning as radio equipment.
• touch current - The document compares leakage current with the touch current defined in IEC 60990.
• digital instructions - Instructions supplied in digital form, with a marked access route.
• competent persons - People qualified to carry out repairs safely.

Who uses prEN IEC 60335-2-67:2026/prAA:2026?

Manufacturers of commercial floor treatment machines use this amendment when preparing product instructions, markings, and emission information. Test laboratories and conformity assessment teams use it for checking noise, vibration, and instruction-related requirements. Technical writers, service organizations, and quality managers use it to align manuals, product labels, and repair practices with the amended safety clauses.

What changed in prEN IEC 60335-2-67:2026/prAA:2026 from the previous edition?

The document states that it modifies prEN IEC 60335-2-67:2026 and all its amendments and corrigenda, if any. Its foreword identifies two significant technical changes: additional requirements for instructions, and requirements for shock and vibration measurement.

The scope text also states that, with European Amendment A11, EN 60335-2-67:2012 is superseded.

Which standards are used with prEN IEC 60335-2-67:2026/prAA:2026?

• EN IEC 60335-1:2023 - the Part 1 general safety requirements that this Part 2-67 amendment supplements and modifies.
• IEC/TS 62885-1:2026 - test material and test equipment requirements for surface cleaning appliances.
• ISO 3743-1 - acoustic engineering method for sound power determination in a hard-walled test room.
• ISO 3744:2025 - acoustic engineering method for sound power determination over a reflecting plane.
• ISO 4871:2009 - declaration and verification of noise emission values.
• ISO 5349-1 - general requirements for measurement and evaluation of hand-transmitted vibration.
• ISO 5349-3:2025 - repeated shocks and isolated shocks for vibration evaluation.
• ISO 9614-2:1996 - sound power determination using sound intensity by scanning.
• ISO 11201 - emission sound pressure levels at a work station and other specified positions.
• ISO 6344-2 - grain size analysis of coated abrasives, referenced in Annex ZA.
• Related parts and series listed in the bibliography include IEC 60335-2-2, IEC 60335-2-10, IEC 60335-2-68, IEC 60335-2-69, IEC 60335-2-72, IEC 60745 series, and IEC 61029 series.

What does the prEN IEC 60335-2-67:2026/prAA:2026 document contain?

The document contains amendment text for the introduction, scope, references, markings, instructions, annexes, and bibliography rather than a full standalone safety standard. Its technical content centers on the wording changes needed to add digital contact details, access to digital instructions, safe-use statements, misuse warnings, repair guidance, and emission information.

The annexes provide the material used for compliance work: Annex CC for noise, Annex DD for vibration, Annex ZA for the reference map, and Annex ZC for national conditions. These parts are the sections most likely to be used in testing, labeling review, and conformity assessment.
