UNE-EN IEC 62885-4:2021

This International Standard is applicable for measurements of the performance of cordless dry vacuum cleaners for household use or under conditions similar to those in households.The results obtained under this standard are intended to be comparable to the results obtained under IEC 62885-2 for mains connected vacuums.The purpose of this document is to specify essential performance characteristics of cordless dry vacuum cleaners which are of interest to users and to describe methods for measuring these characteristics. NOTE 1 Due to the influence of environmental conditions, variations in time, origin of test materials and proficiency of the operator, most 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 2 This standard is not intended for mains operated vacuum cleaners or cleaning robots. NOTE 3 Cordless handheld vacuums are excluded except for clauses 5.7.2 and 5.101.2. For safety requirements, reference is made to IEC 60335-1, IEC 60335-2-2 and IEC 60335-2-69. A recommendation on information for the consumer at the point of sale is given in Annex B of IEC 62885-2.This standard does not currently address changing performance throughout the whole run time of some appliances. Results at different states of battery charge may vary. The potential clauses effected are 5.1-5.6, 5.8-5.11 and 6.16. It is recommended to perform test 5.101 first to understand the potential effect of discharge.
