Foreword
In the light of the necessity to adapt EN 60335-2-68 with regard to the requirements of the Machinery
Directive 2006/42/EC, a draft was prepared by CENELEC TC61/WG6/J in co-operation with the MD
Consultant, taking also into account the results of CENELEC TC61/WG6 work on EN 60335-1.
The approach to amend EN 60335-2-68:2003 aiming toward listing the standard under the MD was
discussed and approved during the Kista meeting of CENELEC TC 61 in June 2008 (see
CLC/TC 61/SEC/1649), when it was decided to submit a draft for an amendment to the Unique
Acceptance Procedure.
The draft was circulated as FprAB in December 2008 and was approved by CENELEC as a new edition
of EN 60335-2-68 on 2009-09-01.
This European Standard supersedes EN 60335-2-68:2003 + A1:2006 + corrigendum December 2006 +

Introduction
It has been assumed in the drafting of this European Standard that the execution of its provisions is
entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced persons.
This standard recognizes the internationally accepted level of protection against hazards such as
electrical, mechanical, thermal, fire and radiation of machines when operated as in normal use taking into
account the manufacturer's instructions. It also covers abnormal situations that can be expected in
practice and takes into account the way in which electromagnetic phenomena can affect the safe
operation of machines.
This standard takes into account the requirements of IEC 60364 as far as possible so that there is
compatibility with the wiring rules when the machine is connected to the supply mains. However, national
wiring rules may differ.
If a machine within the scope of this standard also incorporates functions that are covered by another
Part 2 of EN 60335, the relevant Part 2 is applied to each function separately, as far as is reasonable. If
applicable, the influence of one function on the other is taken into account.
This standard is a product family standard dealing with the safety of machines and takes precedence over
horizontal and generic standards covering the same subject.
A machine that complies with the text of this standard will not necessarily be considered to comply with
the safety principles of the standard if, when examined and tested, it is found to have other features that
impair the level of safety covered by these requirements.
A machine employing materials or having forms of construction differing from those detailed in the
requirements of this standard may be examined and tested according to the intent of the requirements
and, if found to be substantially equivalent, may be considered to comply with the standard.

This clause of Part 1 is applicable except as follows.
3.1.9 Replacement:
normal operation
conditions under which the machine is operated in normal use, specified as follows
The machine is operated with the spray extraction pump with the nozzle giving the highest load, the
vacuum motor, the device for agitating the carpet pile (if any), the cleaning agent heater (if any) and the
soiled water discharge pump (if any) all in use. Any marking of short time intermittent operation of the
pumps shall be observed.
The normal operation P of the vacuum motor is obtained at the following power input:
m
P = 0,5 (P + P )
m f i
where
P is the input, in watts, when the machine has been operated for 3 min, fitted with the nozzle and hose
f
giving the highest input;
P is the input, in watts, when the machine has been operated for 20 s with the nozzle sealed,
i
immediately following the 3-minute-period with the nozzle open. Any valve or similar device used to
ensure a flow of air to cool the motor in the event of a blockage of a main air inlet is rendered
ineffective.
P and P are measured with the supply voltage adjusted to rated voltage, or to a voltage equal to the
f i
mean value of the rated voltage range if the difference between the limits of the rated voltage range
does not exceed 10 % of the mean value of the range. If the difference between the limits of the rated
voltage range exceeds 10 % of the mean value, the tests are carried out with the supply voltage set to
the upper limit of the range.
The hose is laid out straight. If the machine is provided with a hose as an optional accessory, it is
operated without the hose.
Electrically driven devices for agitating the carpet, if any, are in operation but are not in contact with the
floor or any other surface or with the means used to seal the air inlet.
The adjustment of the air inlet is not altered when it is specified that the machine is operated under
normal load, irrespective of the supply voltages specified in the test. Where optional filtration systems are
supplied with the spray extraction machine, the filtration system giving the least air resistance (maximum
flow) is fitted.
The normal load is equal to the mean load P for the electrically driven agitating device such as a motor
r
driven brush determined in accordance with the following:

– the mean load P is determined when using the device in the following way:
r
After setting the device, the device shall be moved twice over a distance of 5 m in the direction giving
the highest load;
– the motor responsible for the airflow operates under the same conditions as determining P , i. e. no
f
airflow restrictions, and measurements are taken after 3 min;
– the device is adjusted to the carpet pile height;
– it is necessary to move the agitating device slowly across the carpet to avoid carpet damage.
Soiled water discharge pumps, if applicable, are operated as follows.
The pump delivers a continuous flow of water without any soiled water discharge hose attached to the
soiled water outlet of the machines unless the discharge hose is permanently attached to the machine.
The vacuum motor shall work during the test, unless an interlock device is provided to prevent combined
operation of both motors.
