Standards Development
This standard deals with the safety of electric vacuum cleaners and water suction cleaning appliances for household and similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single phase (AC) supplied appliances, direct current (DC) supplied appliances and battery-operated appliances and 480 V for multi-phase centrally-sited vacuum cleaners. This standard also applies to vacuum cleaners for animal grooming, centrally-sited vacuum cleaners, and automatic battery-operated cleaners. This standard also applies to spray extraction appliances in which – the pressure of the employed liquid solution does not exceed 2,5 MPa; – the product of the pressure (in MPa) and the flow of liquid solution (in litres per minute) do not exceed 100; and – the temperature of the liquid solution at the spray nozzle outlet does not exceed 60 °C. This standard also applies to vacuum cleaners and water suction cleaning appliances provided with a blowing function or inflating function. This standard also applies to motorized cleaning heads and current-carrying hoses associated with a particular vacuum cleaner or water suction cleaning appliance. Appliances not intended for normal household use, but which nevertheless can be a source of danger to the public, such as appliances intended to be used by laypersons in shops and other premises for normal housekeeping purposes, are within the scope of this standard.
This Project endorses the edition 8.0 of IEC 60335-2-2 published on 2026-07-15
