Household and similar electrical appliances - Test code for the determination of airborne acoustical noise - Part 2-16: Particular requirements for washer-dryers

IEC 60704-2-16:2019 applies to single-unit electric washer-dryers for household and similar use intended for placing on the floor against a wall, for building-in or placing under a counter, a kitchen worktop or under a sink, for wall-mounting or on a counter. This standard is concerned with objective methods of engineering accuracy for determining sound power levels of airborne acoustical noise. Requirements for the declaration of noise emission values are not within the scope of this document. This part is intended to be used in conjunction with IEC 60704-1:2010.

Appareils électrodomestiques et analogues - Code d'essai pour la détermination du bruit aérien - Partie 2-16: Exigences particulières pour les lavantes-séchantes

L'IEC 60704-2-16:2019 s'applique aux lavantes-séchantes électriques en un seul équipement pour une utilisation domestique ou similaire prévue avec un placement au sol contre un mur, une intégration ou un placement sous un comptoir, un plan de travail de cuisine ou sous un évier, pour une fixation murale ou sur un comptoir. La présente norme concerne des méthodes objectives de degré de précision «expertise» destinées à déterminer les niveaux de puissance acoustique d'un bruit aérien situé à l'intérieur du domaine de fréquences utile. Les exigences pour la déclaration des valeurs d'émission sonore ne relèvent pas du domaine d'application du présent document. La présente partie est destinée à être utilisée conjointement avec l'IEC 60704-1:2010.
