IEC/ASTM 62885-7:2020

Surface cleaning appliances - Part 7: Dry-cleaning robots for household or similar use - Methods for measuring the performance

IEC/ASTM 62885-7:2020 is applicable to dry-cleaning robots for household use or under conditions similar to those in households.
The purpose of this document is to specify the essential performance characteristics of dry- cleaning robots that are of interest to users and to describe methods for measuring these characteristics.
This document is neither concerned with safety requirements nor with performance requirements.
This first edition of IEC/ASTM 62885-7 cancels and replaces IEC 62929:2014. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to IEC 62929:2014:
a) the box test has been cancelled;
b) the set of straight-line tests have been extended to contain also tests on removal of different kinds of debris both from hard floors and carpets;
c) the set of straight-line tests also contains a test on the removal of fibres from carpets;
d) as a miscellaneous test, a method for the determination of energy consumption has been added;
e) a separate clause on test material and equipment has been added.

Appareils de nettoyage des sols - Partie 7: Robots de nettoyage à sec à usage domestique ou analogue - Méthodes de mesure de l'aptitude à la fonction

L'IEC/ASTM 62885-7:2020 s'applique aux robots de nettoyage à sec pour usage domestique ou utilisation dans des conditions similaires à celles rencontrées dans des conditions domestiques
Le présent document a pour objet de spécifier les principales caractéristiques d’aptitude à la fonction des robots de nettoyage à sec présentant un intérêt pour les utilisateurs et de décrire des méthodes de mesure de ces caractéristiques.
Le présent document ne couvre ni les exigences de sécurité ni les exigences d'aptitude à la fonction.
Cette première édition de l'IEC/ASTM 62885-7 annule et remplace l'IEC 62929:2014. Cette édition constitue une révision technique.
Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'IEC 62929:2014:
a) l'essai du caisson a été annulé;
b) l'ensemble des essais en trajectoire rectiligne a été élargi pour inclure également des essais d’élimination de différents types de débris aussi bien sur des sols durs que sur des tapis;
c) l'ensemble des essais en trajectoire rectiligne inclut également un essai d’élimination de fibres d’un tapis;
d) une méthode de détermination de la consommation d'énergie a été ajoutée en tant qu’essai divers;
e) un article distinct concernant le matériau et l'équipement d’essai a été ajouté.
