Overview

prEN IEC 60335-2-67:2026/prAA:2026 is a European draft standard focused on the safety of powered floor treatment machines intended for commercial use. Developed under the CLC (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization), this standard specifies particular requirements for floor treatment equipment, covering their safe operation in public, industrial, and business premises. These machines are utilized for applications such as scrubbing, wet or dry pick-up, polishing, dry buffing, wax or sealant application, powder-based detergents, shampooing, stripping, grinding, and scarifying of artificially surfaced floors.

This document acts as an amendment to the previous standard, integrating new safety requirements, particularly those related to user instructions and measurement of shock and vibration. It aligns closely with general requirements outlined in EN IEC 60335-1 and is intended for environments other than typical residential housekeeping, including areas with high public and occupational use.

Key Topics

• Scope and Coverage: Addresses safety of floor care machines for non-residential indoor and outdoor use, including schools, hospitals, hotels, offices, factories, and commercial outlets.
• Machine Types Covered: Includes scrubbing machines, wet and dry pick-up devices, polishers, buffing machines, waxing and sealing applicators, floor shampooers, striping, grinding, and scarifying machines.
• Power Sources: Encompasses machines powered by internal combustion engines, mains electricity (up to 250 V single-phase and 480 V multi-phase), and battery-operated units, with or without integrated chargers.
• Hazard Assessment: Focus on hazards that are reasonably foreseeable in professional settings, including noise and vibration, accessible parts, and misuse.
• Noise and Vibration: Establishes requirements for emission measurements and reporting, referring to ISO and EN standards for assessing sound power levels and human exposure to vibration.
• Instructions and Markings: Specifies new requirements for digital and printed instructions, manufacturer digital contact information, and labeling for safe machine operation. Special attention is given to accessibility of instructions and warnings regarding children and users with reduced capability.
• Special National Conditions: Provisions tailored for specific member countries, addressing local climatic or electrical practices.

Applications

This safety standard is essential for manufacturers, importers, and users of commercial floor cleaning and treatment machines. It ensures that equipment used in:

• Public facilities (schools, hospitals, hotels)
• Industrial environments (factories, workshops)
• Retail locations (shops, supermarkets)
• Business and service premises (banks, offices)
• Other commercial areas

is designed, labeled, and documented to minimize safety risks to operators and bystanders, including children and domestic animals. The requirements are especially relevant for products entering the EU market, addressing both operator health (noise and vibration exposure) and safe use by trained personnel.

The standard also assists in meeting regulatory obligations under relevant EU Directives and Regulations concerning electrical equipment safety, machinery, and electromagnetic compatibility.

Related Standards

To ensure full compliance and safe design, prEN IEC 60335-2-67:2026/prAA:2026 should be applied in conjunction with related standards:

• EN IEC 60335-1:2023: General safety requirements for household and similar electrical appliances.
• ISO 3743-1, ISO 3744, ISO 11201, ISO 9614-2: Methods for measuring and reporting acoustic noise emissions from equipment.
• ISO 4871: Procedures for the declaration and verification of noise emission values.
• ISO 5349-1 and ISO 5349-3: Measurement and evaluation of vibration exposure for hand-operated machines.
• IEC/TS 62885-1: General requirements related to surface cleaning appliances.
• EN IEC 60335-2-2, 2-10, 2-68, 2-69, 2-72: Other parts of the 60335 series covering specific machine types.

By referencing and complying with these related standards, stakeholders can ensure holistic safety, performance, and regulatory alignment for commercial floor treatment machines.
