Vacuum cleaners for household use - Part 1: Dry vacuum cleaners - Methods for measuring the performance
IEC 60312-1:2010(E) applicable for measurements of the performance of dry vacuum cleaners for household use in or under conditions similar to those in households. The purpose of this document is to specify essential performance characteristics of dry vacuum cleaners being of interest to the users and to describe methods for measuring these characteristics. 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. This document is not intended for battery-operated vacuum cleaners. For safety requirements, reference is made to IEC 60335-1 and IEC 60335-2-2.

Sesalniki za uporabo v gospodinjstvu - 1. del: Sesalniki za suho čiščenje - Metode za merjenje lastnosti (IEC 60312-1:2010, spremenjen + A1:2011, spremenjen)
Ta mednarodni standard se uporablja za merjenje zmogljivosti sesalnikov za suho čiščenje za gospodinjsko uporabo pod pogoji, ki ustrezajo ali so podobni pogojem v gospodinjstvih. Namen tega standarda je določiti glavne lastnosti delovanja sesalnikov za suho čiščenje, 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 ne velja za baterijske sesalnike. Pri varnostnih zahtevah se upoštevata standarda IEC 60335-1 in IEC 60335-2-2.

COMMON MODIFICATIONS
1 Modification to Clause 3
Add:
"3.Z1
reference vacuum cleaner system
electrically operated laboratory equipment used to measure the reference dust removal ability
on carpets with given air flow and active brush bar related parameters to improve the
reproducibility of test results
Note 1 to entry: reference vacuum cleaner system is not suitable for other tests than dust pick-up from carpets.
3.Z2
hybrid vacuum cleaner
vacuum cleaner that can be both mains and/or battery operated
3.Z3
battery operated active nozzle
cleaning head provided with an agitation device to assist dirt removal driven by a battery
operated motor"
2 Modification to Clause 4
In the Note, replace:
"When not in use they should be preferably hanging free, or may be lying flat, pile upwards
and uncovered but not rolled."
with:
"When not in use they should be hanging free."
3 Modification to 4.10
Delete entire clause including heading and replace with:
"4.Z1 Reference vacuum cleaner system
Test carpets used in a laboratory for the determination of dust removal ability will, over time,
change from their original conditions, for instance due to wearing or gradual filling with dust. It
is therefore required that the reference vacuum cleaner system as defined in 3.17 be used to
regularly check the carpet conditions as a verification of the test results obtained and being
recorded.
The reference vacuum cleaner system is designed to obtain 75 % of dust removal after 5
double strokes, both with passive and active nozzle (only for carpet).
The reference vacuum cleaner system has to be tested on each carpet used prior to each
sample testing and the test results shall be recorded, after correction according to 6.17.2.2 by
using the calibrated dust removal ability K . The expected result should be near to the 75 % of
c
dust removal ability after 5 double strokes, however a deviation of ± 5 % is allowed.
NOTE In case the deviation exceeds the ± 5 % limit, the test carpet can be replaced or the reference vacuum
cleaner system can be calibrated by the manufacturer.
Due to the fact that dust pick-up ability may differ between carpets used for active or passive
nozzles, the result from tests between active and passive nozzles shall not be compared.
Test carpets designated for testing of passive nozzles shall only be cleaned with a passive
nozzle on the face. Test carpets designated for testing active nozzles shall only be cleaned
with an active nozzle on the face."
4 Modification to 5.2.2
Add at end:
– 5 – EN 60312-1:2013
"The linear density of the dust inside the crevice shall be between 0,0340 g/mm and
0,0290 g/mm crevice length. Otherwise, the filling has to be repeated.
NOTE The inserts are emptied from dust after the last measurement of each cleaning cycle."
5 Modification to 5.2.3
At the end of the second paragraph add the following before the first formula:
"The mean value of dust removal ability for 2 cleaning cycles is calculated as follows:
K (2) =(k (1)+ k (2))/2
cr cr cr
m − m
L
L r

Replace the description of k with:
cr
"k is the dust removal ability for a single cleaning cycle, in per cent;"
cr
6 Modification to 5.3.4
In the second paragraph, change the formula to read:
"The amount of test dust to be used is calculated from the formula
(B-0,02) m × 0,7 m × 125 g/m ,"
In the second paragraph, replace the entire second sentence with the following:
"For uniform distribution of the test dust over the test area minus 10 mm on each side, it is
recommended that a dust spreader as described in 7.3.5 be used."
7 Modification to 5.11.2
Delete "Note 2" and renumber "Note 1" to "Note".
8 Modification to 5.11.3
Delete the last sentence.
9 Modification to 5.11.4
Delete entire clause.
10 Modification to 5.11.5
Delete entire clause.
11 Modification to 5.11.6
Replace the first sentence "With the vacuum cleaner prepared according to 5.11.3, and the
challenge agent neutralized per 5.11.4 the test proceeds as follows:" with:
"The test proceeds as follows:"
12 Modification to 6.15
Replace "IEC 60704-1" with "EN 60704-1."
Replace "IEC 60704-2-1" with "EN 60704-2-1."
13 Modification to 6.16.2.4
Delete the following text:
"With P measured in accordance with 6.16.1.3 and the energy consumption per 10 m ,
eff
E(10 m ) with 5 double stokes is calculated as follows:
E(10 m ) = P ×200/B

The results shall record whether the surface was solid, i.e. hard floor, or with crevice, i.e. hard
floor with crevice."
Add: "Same procedure as described in 6.16.1.4."
Add:
"6.16.2.Z1 Energy consumption of battery powered nozzles
The energy consumption of battery powered nozzles is defined as a difference of energy
between the discharge of the fully charged battery pack and the same battery pack after its
use for the test of dpu on carptet and/or hard floor.
E = E (0)-E (1) (Wh)

6.16.2.Z2 Energy consumption of powered battery pack fully charged
The energy consumption of a powered battery pack fully charged is defined as follows:
Charge the battery pack following the Instruction For Use (IFU) manual. When the battery
pack is fully charged, discharge the pack while monitoring the voltage and the time.
The discharge current is linked to the declared capacity of the battery C and equal to C/10.
The discharge runs until 1 V / cell for NiCd or NiMH batteries and similar. For Li-Ion-batteries
the discharge current is 0,2 C. Discharge is terminated at 2,5 V.
Then the energy used E (0) can be calculated in Wh.
