(Main)Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-2: Particular requirements for vacuum cleaners and water-suction cleaning appliances
Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-2: Particular requirements for vacuum cleaners and water-suction cleaning appliances
IEC 60335-2-2:2019 deals with the safety of electric vacuum cleaners and water suction cleaning appliances for household and similar purposes, including vacuum cleaners for animal grooming, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V. It also applies to centrally-sited vacuum cleaners and automatic battery-operated cleaners.
This standard also applies to motorized cleaning heads and current-carrying hoses associated with a particular vacuum cleaner.
Battery-operated appliances and other DC supplied appliances are within the scope of this standard. Dual supply appliances, either mains-supplied or battery-operated, are regarded as battery-operated appliances when operated in the battery mode.
Appliances not intended for normal household use, but which nevertheless may be a source of danger to the public, such as appliances intended to be used by laymen in shops and other premises for normal housekeeping purposes, are within the scope of this standard.
Examples of such appliances are appliances intended to be used for normal housekeeping purposes in hotels, offices, schools, hospitals and similar premises.
As far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by appliances that are encountered by all persons in and around the home. However, in general, it does not take into account
– persons (including children) whose physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge prevents them from using the appliance safely without supervision or instruction;
– children playing with the appliance.
Attention is drawn to the fact that:
– for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements can be necessary;
– in many countries additional requirements are specified by the national health authorities, the national authorities responsible for the protection of labour, the national water supply authorities and similar authorities.
This standard does not apply to:
– appliances intended exclusively for industrial purposes;
– appliances intended to be used in locations where special conditions prevail, such as the presence of a corrosive or explosive atmosphere (dust, vapour or gas);
– wet and dry vacuum cleaners, including power brush, for commercial use (IEC 60335-2-69).
This seventh edition cancels and replaces the sixth edition published in 2009, Amendment 1:2012 and Amendment 2:2016. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
– some requirements for appliances for animal grooming have been modified (6.1, 25.7)
– the note in 7.101 has been deleted;
– converted some notes to normative text (7.102, 10.1, 11.3, 13.1, 15.2, 15.101, 19.101, 20.1, 20.2, 21.103, 21.105, 22.32, 25.23);
– clarification that the test of 19.7 is applicable to vacuum cleaners with a motorized brush or similar device;
– modified Annex R for alignment with 22.201 of Annex B;
– modified Annex S in accordance with IEC 60335-2-2:2009/ISH1:2016.
This Part 2 is to be used in conjunction with the latest edition of IEC 60335-1 and its amendments. It was established on the basis of the fifth edition (2010) of that standard.
Appareils électrodomestiques et analogues - Sécurité - Partie 2-2: Exigences particulières pour les aspirateurs et les appareils de nettoyage à aspiration d'eau
L'IEC 60335-2-2:2019 traite de la sécurité des aspirateurs et des appareils de nettoyage à aspiration d'eau électriques pour usages domestiques et analogues, y compris les aspirateurs pour les soins des animaux, dont la tension assignée n'est pas supérieure à 250 V. Elle s'applique également aux aspirateurs à unité centrale d'aspiration et aux aspirateurs automatiques alimentés par batteries.
La présente norme s'applique aussi aux têtes de nettoyage motorisées et aux flexibles conducteurs associés à un aspirateur donné.
Les appareils alimentés par batteries et autres appareils alimentés en courant continu relèvent du domaine d'application de la présente norme. Les appareils à double alimentation, fonctionnant sur secteur ou sur batterie, sont vus comme des appareils alimentés par batteries lorsqu'ils fonctionnent sur batterie.
Les appareils qui ne sont pas destinés à un usage domestique normal, mais qui peuvent néanmoins constituer une source de danger pour le public, tels que les appareils destinés à être utilisés par des usagers non avertis pour l'entretien ménager courant normal dans des magasins et autres locaux, relèvent du domaine d'application de la présente norme.
Les appareils destinés à être utilisés pour l'entretien ménager courant dans les hôtels, bureaux, écoles, hôpitaux et locaux analogues constituent des exemples de tels appareils.
Dans la mesure du possible, la présente norme traite des dangers courants présentés par les appareils, encourus par tous les individus à l'intérieur et autour de l'habitation. Cependant, la présente norme ne tient pas compte en général:
– des personnes (y compris des enfants) dont les capacités physiques, sensorielles ou mentales ou le manque d'expérience et de connaissances les empêchent d'utiliser l'appareil en toute sécurité sans surveillance ou instruction;
– de l'utilisation de l'appareil comme jouet par des enfants.
L'attention est attirée sur le fait que:
– pour les appareils destinés à être utilisés dans des véhicules ou à bord de navires ou d'avions, des exigences supplémentaires peuvent être nécessaires;
– dans de nombreux pays, des exigences supplémentaires sont spécifiées par les autorités sanitaires nationales, les organismes nationaux en charge de la protection des travailleurs, les organismes nationaux responsables de l'alimentation en eau et des organismes analogues.
La présente norme ne s'applique pas:
– aux appareils prévus exclusivement pour des usages industriels;
– aux appareils destinés à être utilisés dans des locaux présentant des conditions particulières, telles que la présence d'une atmosphère corrosive ou explosive (poussière, vapeur ou gaz);
– aux aspirateurs fonctionnant en présence d'eau ou à sec, y compris les brosses motorisées, à usage commercial (IEC 60335-2-69).
Cette septième édition annule et remplace la sixième édition parue en 2009, l'Amendement 1:2012 et l'Amendement 2:2016. Cette édition constitue une révision technique.
Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
– certaines exigences applicables aux appareils pour les soins des animaux ont été modifiées (6.1, 25.7);
– la note en 7.101 a été supprimée;
– certaines notes ont été converties en texte normatif (7.102, 10.1, 11.3, 13.1, 15.2, 15.101, 19.101, 20.1, 20.2, 21.103, 21.105, 22.32, 25.23);
– il a été précisé que l'essai de 19.7 s'applique aux aspirateurs à brosse motorisée ou aux dispositifs analogues;
– l'Annexe R a été modifiée pour mise en cohérence avec le Paragraphe 22.201 de l'Annexe B;
– l'Annexe S a été modifiée conformément à l'IEC 60335-2-2:2009/ISH1:2016.
La présente partie 2 doit être utilisée conjointement avec la dernière édition de l'IEC 60335-1 et ses amendements. Elle a été établie sur la base de la cinquième édition (2010) de cette norme.
