oSIST prEN IEC 60335-2-67:2026/oprAA:2026

• Abstract:

  This standard deals with the safety of powered floor treatment machines intended for commercial indoor or outdoor use for the following applications: - scrubbing, - wet or dry pick-up, - polishing and dry buffing, - application of wax, sealing products and powder based detergents, - shampooing, - stripping, grinding and scarifying of floors with an artificial surface. These machines have a cleaning motion which is more lateral or periodic than linear. This standard applies to machines for commercial use. The following list, although not comprehensive, gives an indication of locations that are included in the scope: - public use areas such as hotels, schools, hospitals; - industrial locations, for example factories and manufacturing shops; - retail outlets, for example shops and supermarkets; - business premises, for example offices and banks; - all uses other than normal housekeeping purposes. These machines are not equipped with a traction drive. The following power systems are covered: - internal combustion engines, - mains powered motors up to a rated voltage of 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances, - battery-operated machines. Battery-operated machines may be equipped with a built-in battery charger.

oSIST prEN IEC 60335-2-67:2026/oprAA:2026 is a SIST-published draft amendment to prEN IEC 60335-2-67:2026 from CENELEC. It updates safety requirements for floor treatment machines for commercial use, especially instructions, markings, noise information, and vibration measurement. The amendment is prepared by CLC/TC 61 for enquiry.

What does oSIST prEN IEC 60335-2-67:2026/oprAA:2026 specify?

The amendment modifies the European draft standard for powered floor treatment machines used commercially indoors or outdoors. The underlying scope covers scrubbing, wet or dry pick-up, polishing and dry buffing, waxing, sealing, powder detergents, shampooing, and stripping, grinding and scarifying of floors with an artificial surface.

It applies to machines without traction drive and covers internal combustion engines, mains powered motors up to 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances, and battery-operated machines, including those with a built-in battery charger. The amendment is organized as changes to the Introduction, Clause 1, Clause 2, Clause 7, the annexes, and the Bibliography.

Annex	What it covers
CC	Airborne noise emission requirements, made normative
DD	Vibration emission requirements, made normative, including repeated shock vibration
ZA	Normative references and corresponding European publications
ZC	Special national conditions
ZZA	Relationship to Directive 2014/35/EU
ZZB	Relationship to Regulation (EU) 2023/1230
ZZC	Relationship to Directive 2014/53/EU

What are the key requirements of oSIST prEN IEC 60335-2-67:2026/oprAA:2026?

This amendment mainly changes how manufacturers present safety information and how noise and vibration are handled. It also clarifies the scope for hazards, radio functions, and the meaning of key terms.

Scope and hazard treatment

• Clause 1 adds that the document covers reasonably foreseeable hazards of intended use for people and domestic animals where relevant. In practice, this means the safety assessment is not limited to the operator alone.
• Clause 1 links leakage current to touch current as defined in IEC 60990. That tells users and test labs which current measurement concept to apply.
• Clause 1 states that the document addresses noise as a relevant hazard when the generated noise is LpA > 70 dB(A). This makes noise information part of the safety picture, not only a comfort issue.
• Clause 1 also covers appliances with radio function, remote communication, and remote operation, and excludes toys, including toys shaped like an appliance.

Markings and instructions

• Clause 7.1 requires the appliance to be marked with the manufacturer’s website, email address, or another digital contact point, or otherwise on the packaging or an accompanying document. This supports user contact and service follow-up.
• New Clause 7.1.Z101 requires a marking showing how to access digital instructions. That matters when the instructions are not supplied on paper.
• Clause 7.12 requires instructions in hard copy or digital format so the appliance can be used safely. The instructions must warn about vulnerable users, children, and domestic animals, and cover reasonably foreseeable misuse.
• For stripping, grinding, and scarifying, Clause 7.12 requires information on capturing, filtration or discharge devices and on keeping their effectiveness over time.
• Clause 7.12.1 requires repairs to be carried out by competent persons. Clause 7.12.102 and 7.12.103 require information on airborne noise emission and vibration emission.

Noise, vibration, and special conditions

• Annex CC and Annex DD are made normative, so the noise and vibration content becomes part of the required conformity route.
• Annex DD adds repeated shock vibration measurement, using ISO 5349-3:2025, and tells users to ignore certain start and end peaks that do not represent repeated shock behaviour.
• Annex ZC adds national conditions for Finland and Switzerland, including a low-temperature warning for certain PVC sheathed cords and plug requirements for some outdoor machines.

What terms does oSIST prEN IEC 60335-2-67:2026/oprAA:2026 define?

• Appliance - In this document, appliance is used with the same meaning as equipment, and it also includes machine where applicable.
• Machine - This is the floor treatment machine covered by the safety requirements.
• Radio appliance - This term is used with the same meaning as radio equipment.
• Touch current - This is the current that can flow through the human body when an accessible part is touched.
• Leakage current - The document compares leakage current with touch current for measurement purposes.
• Digital instructions - These are instructions supplied in digital format, with access to them marked on the appliance, packaging, or an accompanying document.

Who uses oSIST prEN IEC 60335-2-67:2026/oprAA:2026?

Manufacturers of commercial floor treatment machines use it to design products, prepare markings, and write instructions. Test laboratories use it for safety testing, noise emission checks, and vibration measurement.

Quality managers, compliance teams, and buyers use it when selecting or approving equipment for hotels, schools, hospitals, factories, shops, offices, and other non-household settings. It is also relevant for teams handling service information and repair procedures.

What changed in oSIST prEN IEC 60335-2-67:2026/oprAA:2026 from the previous edition?

The foreword says this draft amendment will modify prEN IEC 60335-2-67:2026 and its amendments and corrigenda, and that it supersedes EN 60335-2-67:2012 with Amendment A11. The stated technical additions are new instruction requirements and shock and vibration measurement requirements.

It also updates the scope, normative references, Clause 7 on markings and instructions, the annexes for noise and vibration, and the Bibliography.
