SIST EN 60312-1:2017/A11:2022

European foreword
This document (EN 60312-1:2017/A11:2022) has been prepared by CLC/TC 59X “Performance of
household and similar electrical appliances”.
The following dates are fixed:
• latest date by which this document has to be (dop) 2023-03-21
implemented at national level by publication of
an identical national standard or by
endorsement
• latest date by which the national standards (dow) 2025-03-21
conflicting with this document have to be
withdrawn
This document modifies by common modifications EN 60312-1:2017, which consists of the text of
IEC 60312-1:2010+A1:2011 prepared by IEC/SC 59F ”Surface cleaning appliances” of IEC/TC 59
”Performance of household and similar electrical appliances”.
Significant technical differences are:
a) rephrased subclause 4.6 on the operation of the dry vacuum cleaner;
b) new debris pick-up test for hard floor and carpet;
c) improvement of test with loaded dust receptacle in subclause 5.9;
d) inclusion of a new subclause 5.10 on total emissions while vacuum cleaning;
e) new durability test for secondary hoses;
f) two normative Annexes on the description and maintenance of the reference vacuum cleaner
system RSB.
The addition of new tests has changed the structure of almost the entire Clause 5. Furthermore, changes
have been made in numerous subclauses. Therefore, the entire Clause 5 has been inserted as an
amendment.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document has been prepared under a Standardization Request given to CENELEC by the
European Commission and the European Free Trade Association.
This document is foreseen as a document for future Commission Delegated Regulation on labelling and
future Commission Regulation on ecodesign for vacuum cleaners.
Any feedback and questions on this document should be directed to the users’ national committee. A
complete listing of these bodies can be found on the CENELEC website.

1 Modification to Clause 1, Scope
Replace with:
“This document is applicable for measurements of the performance of mains-operated dry vacuum
cleaners, including water filter vacuum cleaners for household or similar use.
NOTE 1 Measurements of the performance of mains-operated commercial dry vacuum cleaners are found in
EN IEC 62885-8.
The purpose of this document is to specify essential performance characteristics of dry vacuum
cleaners which are of interest to users and to describe methods for measuring these characteristics.
NOTE 2 Due to the influence of environmental conditions, variations in time, origin of test materials and
proficiency of the operator, some 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.
NOTE 3 The methods here can be applied with modifications for surface-cleaning product types or technologies
not currently covered within the scope.
For safety requirements, reference is made to EN 60335-1 and EN 60335-2-2.
A recommendation on information for the consumer at the point of sale is given in Annex B.”

165 This document (EN 60312-1:2017/prAA:2020) has been prepared by CLC/TC 59X "Performance
166 of household and similar electrical appliances".
167
168 This document is currently submitted to the Enquiry.
169
170 The following dates are proposed:
• latest date by which the existence of this (doa) dor + 6 months
document has to be announced at national
level
• latest date by which this document has to (dop) dor + 12 months
be implemented at national level by
publication of an identical national standard
or by endorsement
• latest date by which the national standards (dow) dor + 36 months
conflicting with this document have to be (to be confirmed or
withdrawn modified when voting)
171 This document modifies by common modifications of EN 60312-1:2017 which consists of the
172 text of IEC 6031-1:2010+A1:2011 by IEC/SC 59F ”Surface cleaning appliances”, of IEC/TC
173 59 ”Performance of household and similar electrical appliances”.
174 Significant technical differences are:
175 a) rephrased Clause 4.6 on the operation of the dry vacuum cleaner;
176 b) new debris pick-up test for hard floor and carpet;
177 c) number of double strokes in the dust removal tests from carpets and hard floors with
178 crevices reduced from five to three;
179 d) improvement of test with loaded dust receptacle in Clause 5.9;
180 e) inclusion of a new Clause 5.10 on total emissions while vacuum cleaning;
181 f) mew durability test for secondary hoses;
182 g) two normative Annexes on the description and maintenance of the reference vacuum
183 cleaner system RSB.
184 This document has been prepared under a mandate M/540 given to CENELEC by the European
185 Commission and the European Free Trade Association.
186 This document is foreseen as a supporting document for future Commission Delegated
187 Regulation on labelling and future Commission Regulation on ecodesign for vacuum cleaners.
