Household and similar electrical appliances - Test code for the determination of airborne acoustical noise - Part 1: General requirements

IEC 60704-1:2021 is available as IEC 60704-1:2021 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.IEC 60704-1:2021 applies to electric appliances (including their accessories or components) for household and similar use, supplied from mains or from batteries. By "similar use" is understood the use in conditions similar to those found in households, for example in inns, coffee houses, tea rooms, hotels, barber or hairdresser shops, launderettes, etc., if not otherwise specified in the IEC 60704-2 series. This document does not apply to: – appliances, equipment, or machines designed exclusively for industrial or professional purposes; – appliances that are integrated parts of a building or its installations, such as equipment for air conditioning, heating and ventilating (except household fans, cooker hoods, free-standing heating appliances, dehumidifiers, air cleaners, and stand-alone water heaters), oil burners for central heating, pumps for water supply and for sewage systems; – separate motors or generators and – appliances exclusively for outdoor use. For determining and verifying noise emission values declared in product specifications, see IEC 60704-3:2019. This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2010. This edition constitutes a technical revision. It includes the following significant changes with respect to the previous edition: a) update of references (especially to ISO standards); b) revision of requirements on climatic conditions; c) revision of requirements on background noise level.

Appareils électrodomestiques et analogues - Code d'essai pour la détermination du bruit aérien - Partie 1: Exigences générales

IEC 60704-1:2021 est disponible sous forme de IEC 60704-1:2021 RLV qui contient la Norme internationale et sa version Redline, illustrant les modifications du contenu technique depuis l'édition précédente.L’IEC 60704-1:2021 s’applique aux appareils électriques pour usages domestiques et analogues, y compris leurs accessoires ou composants, alimentés à partir du réseau ou par piles ou accumulateurs. L’expression "usages analogues" s’entend des usages dans des conditions similaires à celles des foyers domestiques, par exemple dans les restaurants, cafés, salons de thé, hôtels, salons de coiffure, laveries, etc. sauf spécification contraire dans la série IEC 60704-2. Le présent document ne s’applique pas – aux appareils, équipements ou machines conçus exclusivement pour des usages industriels ou professionnels; – aux appareils qui font partie intégrante d’un bâtiment ou de ses installations, tels que les équipements de climatisation, de chauffage ou de ventilation (à l’exception des ventilateurs domestiques, des hottes de cuisine et des appareils de chauffage indépendants, des déshumidificateurs, des épurateurs d’air et des chauffe-eau indépendants), aux brûleurs à mazout pour le chauffage central, aux pompes pour l’alimentation en eau et pour les systèmes d’eaux usées; – aux moteurs ou générateurs individuels; et – aux appareils exclusivement destinés à une utilisation à l’extérieur. Pour déterminer et vérifier les valeurs d’émission acoustique déclarées dans les spécifications de produit, voir l’IEC 60704-3:2019. Cette quatrième édition annule et remplace la troisième édition parue en 2010. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Elle inclut les modifications majeures suivantes par rapport à l’édition précédente: a) mise à jour des références (notamment aux normes ISO); b) révision des exigences relatives aux conditions climatiques; c) révision des exigences relatives au niveau de bruit de fond.
