This International Standard lists the characteristic performance parameters for walk-behind
and ride-on floor scrubbers and sweepers and other floor cleaning machines according to
IEC 60335-2-72. This standard does not apply to IEC 60312 series.
The intent is to serve the manufacturers in describing parameters that fit in their manuals, and
in their literature. This may include all or some of the parameters listed in this definition
document. When any of the parameters listed in this document are used, they are noted as
being measurements made in accordance with this document.

Oberflächenreinigungsgeräte - Bodenbehandlungsmaschinen mit oder ohne Fahrantrieb für den gewerblichen Gebrauch - Prüfverfahren zur Bestimmung der Gebrauchseigenschaften

Appareils de nettoyage de surface - Machines de traitements des sols avec ou sans commande de dispositif de déplacement, à usage commercial - Méthodes de mesure des performances

L'IEC 62826:2014 répertorie les paramètres de performances caractéristiques des brosseuses et balayeuses de sol à conducteur à pied et à conducteur porté, et d'autres appareils de nettoyage des sols conformément à l'IEC 60335-2-72. La présente norme ne s'applique pas à la série IEC 60312. Elle a pour objet de présenter aux fabricants les paramètres indiqués dans leurs manuels et documentations. Il peut s'agir de tout ou partie des paramètres figurant dans ce document de définition. Si les paramètres figurant dans le présent document sont utilisés, ils sont notés comme étant des mesures réalisées conformément au présent document.

Naprave za čiščenje površin - Stroji za obdelavo tal s pogonom ali brez njega za komercialno uporabo - Metode za merjenje lastnosti (IEC 62826:2014)

Ta mednarodni standard navaja parametre značilnosti delovanja za stroje za pranje in pometanje tal ter druge stroje za čiščenje tal, za katerimi se hodi ali se vozi na njih, v skladu s standardom IEC 60335-2-72. Ta standard se ne uporablja za skupino standardov IEC 60312. Njegov namen je pomoč proizvajalcem pri opisovanju parametrov, ki jih navajajo v svojih priročnikih in v literaturi. Sem lahko spadajo vsi ali nekateri parametri, navedeni v tem dokumentu z definicijami. Kadar se uporabi kateri koli parameter iz tega dokumenta, so zabeležijo kot meritve, izvedene v skladu s tem dokumentom.

SURFACE CLEANING APPLIANCES –

Floor treatment machines with or without traction drive,
for commercial use – Methods of measuring the performance

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 62826 has been prepared by subcommittee SC 59F: Surface
cleaning appliances, of IEC technical committee TC 59: Performance of household and similar
electrical appliances.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
CDV Report on voting
59F/238A/CDV 59F/254/RVC

Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
