Scope

This part of IEC 62885 is applicable for measurements of the performance of mains-operated and cordless wet hard floor cleaning appliances for household or similar use. In the case of appliances with combined functionality, this document only addresses the wet cleaning functionality. The purpose of this document is to specify essential performance characteristics of wet hard floor cleaning appliances that are of interest to users and to describe methods for measuring these characteristics. NOTE 1 Owing to the influence of environmental conditions, variations in time, origin of test materials and proficiency of the operator, most of the described test methods give more reliable results when applied to comparative testing of a number of appliances at the same time, in the same laboratory and by the same operator. NOTE 2 This document is not intended for cleaning appliances according to IEC 60335-2-79 and robotic wet hard floor cleaning appliances. For safety requirements, reference is made to IEC 60335-1, IEC 60335-2-2, IEC 60335-2-10, and IEC 60335-2-54. A recommendation on information for the consumer at the point of sale is given in Annex B.

Purpose

As IEC/ASTM 62885-6:2023 is a dual logo standard the project was exempted from parallel vote. Hence, this NWIP is necessary for the EN version of the new edition. This new edition will supersede EN IEC/ASTM 62885-6:2019 (WI 68155). National Standardization Bodies are asked to vote on this NWIP which intents a publication of a triple logo standard EN IEC/ASTM 62885-6:202x.
