Surface cleaning appliances - Part 3: Wet carpet cleaning appliances - Methods for measuring the performance
IEC 62885-3:2014 is applicable to wet cleaning appliances for household use for carpet cleaning in or under conditions similar to those in households. This part of IEC 62885 is not applicable to steam cleaning vacuums. The purpose of this standard is to:
- specify the essential performance characteristics of wet cleaning appliances being of interest to users
- describe methods for measuring these characteristics and
- be complementary to the methods for dry vacuum cleaners in IEC 60312-1.
Due to influence of environmental conditions, variations in time, origin of test materials and proficiency of the operator, most of the described test methods will give more reliable results when applied for comparative testing of a number of appliances at the same time, in the same laboratory and by the same operator.
See IEC 60335-1 and IEC 60335-2-2 for safety requirements.
Wet hard floor tests are under consideration and are intended to be published in a separate standard.
This first edition cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC 60312-2 published in 2010. This edition constitutes a technical revision. Click here to access to information on suppliers of test materials and details of test equipment. This information is given for the convenience of users of this International Standard and does not constitute an endorsement by IEC of the suppliers named. This information will be continuously updated.
Appareils de nettoyage des sols - Partie 3: Appareils pour le nettoyage humide des tapis et moquettes - Méthodes de mesure de l'aptitude à la fonction
L'IEC 62885-3:2014 s'applique aux appareils pour le nettoyage humide des tapis et moquettes à usage domestique ou à usage analogue. La présente partie de l'IEC 62885 ne concerne pas les aspirateurs à vapeur.
La présente norme a pour objet:
- de spécifier les caractéristiques essentielles d'aptitude à la fonction des appareils de nettoyage humide présentant un intérêt pour les utilisateurs
- de décrire les méthodes de mesure de ces caractéristiques, et
- de compléter les méthodes appliquées pour les aspirateurs à sec de l'IEC 60312-1.
En raison de l'influence des conditions environnementales, des variations de temps, de l'origine des matériaux d'essai et de l'aptitude de l'opérateur, la plupart des méthodes d'essai décrites offrent des résultats plus fiables si elles sont appliquées lors d'essais comparatifs d'un certain nombre d'appareils en même temps, dans le même laboratoire et par le même opérateur.
Voir l'IEC 60335-1 et l'IEC 60335-2-2 pour les exigences de sécurité.
Des essais de nettoyage des sols durs et mouillés sont à l'étude et sont destinés à être publiés dans une norme séparée.
Cette première édition annule et remplace la première édition de l'IEC 60312-2, parue en 2010. Cette édition constitue une révision technique.

SURFACE CLEANING APPLIANCES –
Part 3: Wet carpet cleaning appliances –
Methods for measuring the performance
1 Scope
This part of IEC 62885 is applicable to wet cleaning appliances for household use for carpet
cleaning in or under conditions similar to those in households. This part of IEC 62885 is not
applicable to steam cleaning vacuums.
The purpose of this standard is to:
– specify the essential performance characteristics of wet cleaning appliances being of
interest to users
– describe methods for measuring these characteristics and
– be complementary to the methods for dry vacuum cleaners in IEC 60312-1.
NOTE Due to influence of environmental conditions, variations in time, origin of test materials and proficiency of
the operator, most of the described test methods will give more reliable results when applied for comparative
testing of a number of appliances at the same time, in the same laboratory and by the same operator.
See IEC 60335-1 and IEC 60335-2-2 for safety requirements.
Wet hard floor tests are under consideration and are intended to be published in a separate
standard.

Temperature: (23 ± 2) °C
Relative humidity: (50 ± 5) %
Air pressure: 86 kPa to 106 kPa
Temperature and humidity conditions within the specified ranges are required for good
repeatability and reproducibility. Care should be taken to avoid changes during a test.
If test procedures and measurements are carried out at other than standard atmospheric
conditions, the ambient temperature shall be maintained at (23 ± 5) °C.
4.2 Test equipment and materials
Measurements on carpets shall be carried out on a flat floor consisting of a smooth untreated
pine plywood or equivalent panel, at least 15 mm thick and of a size appropriate for the test.
Equipment and materials for measurements (devices, test carpets, soil, test dust, etc.) to be
used in a test shall, prior to the test, be kept for at least 16 h at standard atmospheric
conditions according to 4.1.
It is recommended that carpets that are already being used shall be stored unbeaten at
standard atmospheric conditions according to 4.1. When not in use they should be hanging
free, not lying or rolled.
4.3 Voltage and frequency
Measurements shall be carried out at rated voltage with a tolerance of ±1 % and, if applicable,
at rated frequency.
Wet cleaning appliances designed for d.c. only shall be operated at d.c. Wet cleaning
appliances designed for both a.c. and d.c. shall be operated at a.c. Wet cleaning appliances
not marked with rated frequency shall be operated at either 50 Hz or 60 Hz, as is common in
the country of use.
For wet cleaning appliances with a rated voltage range, measurements shall be carried out at
the mean value of the voltage range if the difference between the limits of the range does not
exceed 10 % of the mean value. If the difference exceeds 10 % of the mean value,
measurements shall be carried out both at the upper and lower limits of the voltage range.
If the rated voltage differs from the nominal system voltage of the country concerned,
measurements carried out at rated voltage may give test results misleading for the consumer
and additional measurements may be required. If the test voltage differs from the rated
voltage, this shall be reported.
4.4 Running-in of wet cleaning appliance and attachments
Prior to the initial test, the wet cleaning appliances and their attachments, if any, shall be kept
running with unrestricted air flow for at least 2 h to ensure adequate running-in. For extractors
with agitation or power nozzles, the agitation device shall be running but not in contact with
the floor. Cleaning solution is not to be dispensed during this running-in period.
Prior to conducting any series of tests, the age, condition, and history of the product shall be
recorded.
Clean water should be flushed through unit prior to testing (pump does not need to be run-in
other than when flushing the unit with clean water.
4.5 Equipment of the wet cleaning appliance
Maintenance & replacement of the wet cleaning appliance components should be addressed
as per the product instruction guide.
4.6 Operation of the wet cleaning appliance

normal operation at a height of (800 ± 50) mm above the test floor.
4.7 Conditioning prior to tests
If the wet cleaning appliance is unused and de-energized for more than 1 h, then the wet
cleaning appliance and attachments to be used shall be kept running for at least 10 minutes
under the provisions given in 4.4 to allow them to stabilise. Cleaning solution is not to be
dispensed during this 10 minute warm-up period.
All measurements of performance shall be carried out on the same sample(s) of the wet
cleaning appliance with its accessories and attachments, if any.
It is recommended that a minimum of three should be used to achieve statistically significant
results.
Tests carried out to simulate stresses that a wet cleaning appliance may be exposed to during
normal use, possibly causing impairment of the cleaner’s performance, may require additional
samples of replaceable parts. Such tests shall be carried out at the end of the test
programme.
4.8 In-house reference cleaner system(s)
It is required that in-house reference cleaner system(s) be used to regularly check and ensure
the test is in control and cleaning results are not shifting due to possible batch to batch
variability in carpet soil, lot to lot variability in carpeting, etc.
5 Cleaning tests
5.1 Dry cleaning tests
For combined dry and wet cleaning appliances the performance related to dry cleaning shall
be measured by applying the methods in IEC 60312-1.
Where appropriate dry cleaning tests are required, methods included in IEC 60312-1 shall be
used.
5.2 Wet cleaning tests
5.2.1 Wet cleaning effectiveness on carpet
5.2.1.1 General
The purpose of this test is to evaluate the cleaning performance of a wet cleaning appliance
with recommended detergent (if any) and the wet cleaning functions of combined dry and wet
cleaning appliances with recommended detergent (if any).
The cleaning effectiveness is determined from measurements of colour (L*a*b*) change in
identically treated carpet samples using colorimeter instrumentation.
In addition to colorimeter measurements, cleaned carpet samples may be assessed visually
with respect to fabric appearance, streaks and blotches.
This method is described in full in ASTM F2828-12.
5.2.1.2 Test procedure overview
This procedure employs an accelerated soiling process using polymer pellets to uniformly
transfer a synthetic soil to carpet samples. At least six carpet samples shall be used for a wet
cleaning appliance test. Three carpet samples shall be cleaned in the direction of the pile lean
and three carpet samples shall be cleaned against the direction of pile lean. The carpet
samples shall be taken from the same production batch.
5.2.1.3 Summary of test procedure steps
5.2.1.3.1 Details of full procedure may be found in ASTM F2828-12.
5.2.1.3.2 Polymer pellets (nylon) are soiled using a pellet soiling cylinder rotated a
prescribed number of minutes in each of two directions. A prescribed ratio in grams of pellets
to grams of AATCC TM122 synthetic soil is used to effectively transfer the soil to the pellets.
(See 7.2.1 for AATCC TM122 soil specification and the example of unsoiled and soiled pellets
in Figure 1.)
IEC
Figure 1 – Polymer pellets – Unsoiled vs. soiled
5.2.1.3.3 Test carpet samples are prepared by cutting carpet into panels 450 mm wide and
900 mm long, with the long dimension always in the direction of pile lean. The carpet
recommended for this test is in 7.2.2.
5.2.1.3.4 Unsoiled carpet samples are first vacuum cleaned using an electric power nozzle
with horizontal brush roll that is dedicated to cleaning new, unsoiled carpeting. The whole
surface of each sample is covered with a prescribed number of double cleaning strokes with
the forward strokes against the direction of the pile lean at a prescribed stroke speed.
Afterward, the unsoiled carpet panels are groomed in the direction of the pile lean using a
weighted carpet grooming rake dedicated for grooming new, unsoiled carpeting to return the
carpet fibers to their natural lean condition (see example rake in Figure 2). Immediately after
grooming, color measurement readings (in L*a*b*) are taken at 10 fixed locations on the
carpet employing a template that fixes the position of the carpet sample to ensure that the
same locations of the carpet sample are measured at each step of the carpet cleaning and
measurement process (unsoiled, soiled, and when dry after wet cleaning). (See an example
color measurement template in Figure 3).
NOTE Three separately dedicated vacuums and weighted grooming rakes are employed in this procedure to
prevent transfer of soil residue from soiled carpets to unsoiled and cleaned carpets during multiple executions of
this procedure.

5.2.1.3.5 The unsoiled carpet samples are then artificially soiled using the ASTM D6540
test method for accelerated soiling of pile yarn floor covering. Carpet samples are placed in a
soiling cylinder along with a pre-determined amount of soiled polymer pellets and chrome
alloy steel balls, and then rotated at a prescribed speed for a prescribed number of minutes in
each of two directions to embed the soil into the carpet fibres. (A typical carpet soiling
cylinder prepared for accelerated soiling can be seen in Figure 4).
The targeted soiling level of the carpet samples is defined in terms of a ∆E change in colour
shift between unsoiled and soiled carpet conditions. The carpet samples are then removed
from the soiling cylinders, soiling pellets and chrome alloy steel balls are manually removed,
and then vacuum cleaned using a separate electric power nozzle with horizontal brush roll
dedicated to cleaning soiled carpeting. The same vacuuming, grooming, and colour reading
process is followed as in 5.2.1.3.4 above.

5.2.1.3.6 The wet cleaning appliance is then prepared as per the manufacturer’s
recommendations with the manufacturer’s recommended cleaning solution. Three soiled
carpet samples are then cleaned in the direction of the pile lean, and three carpet samples
are cleaned against the direction of the pile lean for a total of six carpets cleaned. (See an
example of a carpet cleaning template in Figure 5).
The cleaning cycle used for the wet cleaning appliance under test is controlled to two double
strokes; one double stroke while dispensing cleaning solution (wet strokes), and one double
– 14 – IEC 62885-3:2014 © IEC 2014
stroke without dispensing cleaning solution (dry-vacuuming strokes). This cleaning cycle is
performed at a prescribed and controlled stroke speed. The cleaned carpets are then set
aside and allowed to dry for at least 16 h or until completely dry. (See an example of a carpet
drying rack in Figure 6).

Figure 6 – Carpet drying rack
5.2.1.3.7 After the cleaned carpet samples have dried, the carpet samples are again
vacuum cleaned using a separate electric power nozzle with horizontal brush roll dedicated
for cleaning cleaned carpeting. The same vacuuming, grooming, and colour reading process
is followed as in 5.2.1.3.4.
5.2.1.4 Determination of wet cleaning effectiveness
5.2.1.4.1 General
The final cleaned result for a given model is the average of the results for all carpets cleaned
by all of the individual test units. For each carpet sample, the cleaning effectiveness (%), is
calculated from the following Formula (1):
(1 – (∆E /∆E )) × 100 (1)
1 2
where
∆E is the colour change between the cleaned and the unsoiled carpet samples;
∆E is the colour change between the soiled and the unsoiled carpet samples.
The model’s cleaning effectiveness is calculated as the mean of the results obtained for all
the carpet samples used in the test. If the data results do not meet the precision statements of
the ASTM F2828-12 standard, additional testing is required for use in predicting model
performance.
5.2.1.4.2 Visual assessment
The visual assessment of cleaned carpet samples shall be conducted in a light box suitable
for accommodating at least three samples. One of the samples shall be unsoiled and one
soiled. The assessment shall be carried out by three independent observers.
5.2.2 Re-soiling
A test to measure the effects of re-soiling after an initial cleaning is under consideration.
5.2.3 Drying time
A test to measure time taken for drying after cleaning is under consideration.
5.2.4 Maximum usable capacity of dirt recovery receptacle
