Scope
This part of IEC 62885 is applicable for measurements of battery -related items of surface cleaning appliances within the scope of IEC SC 59F Surface cleaning appliances which are operated by rechargeable batteries. These include dry vacuum cleaners, wet cleaning appliances, cleaning robots, above -the-floor cleaning appliances and alike for household or similar use. This standard does not cover appliances operated by non - rechargeable batteries.
The purpose of this document is to specify essential battery -related characteristics of battery-operated surface cleaning appliances which are of interest to users and to describe methods for measuring these characteristics.
Purpose
The growing number of battery-operated appliances in the surface cleaning sector needs particular attention by ASTM F11 and SC 59F. At present, battery-operated appliances are covered in two standards (cordless vacuum cleaners, cleaning robots). In future, more standa rds will cover battery-operated appliances like wet hard floor cleaners and others. It therefore seems reasonable and necessary to closely coordinate battery related items within ASTM F11 and SC 59F. The most efficient way would be to bring together such i tems in a new standard which would deal with battery-related items like charging, discharging, running time, charging time, maintenance power and alike.
The development of a new standard for battery -related topics would have the advantage that experts from all WGs concerned could participate, thus avoiding different definitions or test methods and ensuring consistency within ASTM F11 and SC 59F
