This standard is to be read in conjunction with IEC 62885-2:2016, to which it refers, and which is applicable unless otherwise specified in this standard.

IEC 63252:2020 defines methods for the measurement of energy consumption of vending machines, whether or not fitted with refrigerating appliances. The standard applies (but is not limited) to the following categories of machines: - Refrigerated closed-fronted can and bottle machines where the products are held in stacks - Refrigerated glass-fronted can and bottle, confectionery and snack machines - Refrigerated glass-fronted machines entirely for perishable foodstuffs - Refrigerated dual-temperature glass-fronted machines - Confectionery and snack machines that are not refrigerated - Combination machines consisting of two different categories of machine in the same housing and powered by one chiller The following types of vending machine are excluded from this document: - drink machines dispensing hot and/or cold drinks into cups; - machines with a food-heating function; - vending machines operating at temperatures below 0 °C; or - any machine including one or more of these compartments. For verification purposes, it is essential to apply all of the tests specified to a single unit. The tests can also be made individually for the study of a particular characteristic. This document does not deal with any characteristics of machine design other than energy consumption.

IEC 63169:2020 deals with a test to simulate the weight loss of leafy produce, given certain conditions of temperature, humidity and air movement in one or more test zones. The test can only be applied to spaces larger than 200 mm × 150 mm ×100 mm (L × W × H). The aim of the test is to measure the weight loss rate by measuring the weight of a test tray prior to the test and after a given duration. Weight loss is one of the considerations for shelf life of produce. Other considerations such as condensation will be addressed in future amendments.

IEC 61591:2019 applies to cooking fume extractors incorporating a fan for the recirculation or extraction mode situated in a household kitchen. It can also be used for cooking fume extractors where the fan is mounted separately from the appliance, but controlled by the appliance when the fan is defined in the technical documentation (e.g. name plate data) and instructions for installation. This document deals also with down-draft systems arranged beside, behind or under the cooking appliance. This document defines the main performance characteristics of these appliances, which are of interest to the user, and specifies methods for measuring these characteristics. This document does not specify a classification or ranking for performance. This document does not deal with safety requirements that are in accordance with IEC 60335-1 and IEC 60335-2-31. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1997, Amendment 1:2005 and Amendment 2:2010. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) new subclause about instruments and measurements (see 6.6); b) new procedure for measuring the fluid dynamic efficiency (FDE), which follows the CENELEC proposal in principle; c) revised procedure for determining the odour reduction for cooking fume extractors in recirculation mode (see Clause 12); d) modification to the measurement of the effectiveness of the lighting system (see Clause 11); e) clearer procedure to measure the grease absorption (see Clause 13);

IEC 63086-1:2020 applies to electrically powered household and similar air cleaners intended for use on rated single-phase AC input voltage circuits not exceeding 250 V and DC input voltage circuits not exceeding 48 V. If the test methods in this document are applied to combination products (air conditioners, humidifiers, dehumidifiers, heaters, etc.) with air cleaning function, they are only aimed at their air cleaning function when tested. Battery-operated appliances are within the scope of this document. Dual-supply appliances, either mains-supplied or battery-operated, are regarded as battery-operated appliances when operated in the battery mode. This document is not applicable to: - appliances intended exclusively for industrial purposes; - appliances intended for use in medical treatment locations, such as surgical suites, laboratories, medical treatments rooms, etc. - household range hoods or cooking fume extractors – see IEC 61591. This first edition cancels and replaces IEC PAS 62587 published in 2008.

IEC 63008:2020 contains accessibility requirements to enable more accessible use of certain elements found on household and similar electrical appliances by older persons and persons with disabilities. It provides guidance to achieve accessible design of only control elements (e.g. knobs, buttons), including control panels, display screens and doors, lids, drawers and handles. It does not enable the full assessment of the overall accessibility of a household appliance. This document covers supporting and auxiliary functions that a user performs regularly. Assembly, installation, configuration or repair of appliances are excluded. This document provides test methods and data that support accessible design. This document gives guidance to apply ISO/TR 22441:2008 and ISO/IEC Guide 71:2014 to the design of various interactive elements of household and similar electrical appliances. It does not deal with remote controls, or control via network or mobile applications. Touch control elements are covered in this document, but new interaction controls, such as gestures and speech control, are not covered. This document does not deal with safety issues.

IEC 60704-2-8:2020 is available as IEC 60704-2-8:2020 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.IEC 60704-2-8:2020 applies to electric shavers, clippers or trimmers for domestic and similar use, supplied from mains or secondary batteries or primary batteries. The term "similar use" is understood to mean the use in hotels, hospitals, shops, offices, etc. This document does not apply to shavers, clippers or trimmers that are powered by means other than electrical, for example by a spring-device. If possible, this document can also be applied to analogous electrically operated devices, such as depilating devices. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1997. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) the scope of the products has been enlarged to include hair clippers and trimmers; b) it includes standard deviations of sound power levels in 1.1.3; c) the normative references have been updated (ISO 3744:2010 and ISO 3743-1:2010); d) it is adjusted with respect to IEC 60704-1:2010; e) it has been updated to comply with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. This Part 2-8 is intended to be used in conjunction with third edition (2010) of IEC 60704-1, Household and similar electrical appliances - Test code for the determination of airborne acoustical noise - Part 1: General requirements. This Part 2-8 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in IEC 60704-1:2010, so as to establish the test code for shavers, hair clippers or trimmers.
