Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-2: Particular requirements for vacuum cleaners and water-suction cleaning appliances

IEC 60335-2-2:2009 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-powered cleaners. This standard also applies to motorized cleaning heads and current-carrying hoses associated with a particular vacuum cleaner. The principal changes in this edition as compared with the fifth edition of IEC 60335-2-2 is as follows: The text is aligned with IEC 60335-1:2001, and its amendments 1 and 2. The attention of the National Committees is drawn to the fact that equipment manufacturers and testing organizations may need a transitional period following publication of a new, amended or revised IEC publication in which to make products in accordance with the new requirements and to equip thenselves for conducting new or revised tests. It is the recommendation of the committee that the content of this publication be adopted for implementation nationally not earlier than 12 months or later than 36 months from the date of publication. Key words: Cleaning appliances, water-suction, vacuum.
The contents of the corrigendum of December 2016 have been included in this copy.
This publication is to be read in conjunction with IEC 60335-1:2010.

Appareils électrodomestiques et analogues - Sécurité - Partie 2-2: Exigences particulières pour les aspirateurs et les appareils de nettoyage à aspiration d'eau

La CEI 60335-2-2:2009 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. Par rapport à la cinquième édition de la CEI 60335-2-2, les principales modifications indiquées ci-après ont été apportées dans la présente édition: le texte est aligné sur la CEI 60335-1:2001, et ses Amendements 1 et 2. L'attention des Comités Nationaux est attirée sur le fait que les fabricants d'appareils et les organismes d'essai peuvent avoir besoin d'une période transitoire après la publication d'une nouvelle publication CEI, ou d'une publication amendée ou révisée, pour fabriquer des produits conformes aux nouvelles exigences et pour adapter leurs équipements aux nouveaux essais ou aux essais révisés. Le comité recommande que le contenu de cette publication soit entériné au niveau national au plus tôt 12 mois et au plus tard 36 mois après la date de publication. Mots-clés: appareils de nettoyage, aspiration d'eau, aspirateurs
Le contenu du corrigendum de décembre 2016 a été pris en considération dans cet exemplaire.

Introduction
There are robotic vacuum cleaners that are supplied with a rechargeable battery that is not
recharged in the appliance. A docking station may not be supplied but if it is, it does not
provide automatic battery charging facilities. The battery must be removed from the robotic
vacuum cleaner for recharging.
Amendment 1 to IEC 60335-1 published in December 2013 changed the title of Annex B from
“Appliances powered by rechargeable batteries” to “Appliances powered by
rechargeable batteries that are recharged in the appliance” and introduced a new annex
“Battery-operated appliances powered by batteries that are non-rechargeable or not
recharged in the appliance”
Amendment 1 to IEC 60335-2-2 is now out of step with IEC 60335-1 ed 5.1. It is stated in the
Foreword of IEC 60335-2-2 Ed 6 and Ed 6.1 “This Part 2 is to be used in conjunction with the
latest edition of IEC 60335-1 and its amendments”
ICS 13.120; 97.080
