This part of IEC 62885 is applicable for measurements of the performance of mains-operated
and cordless dry vacuum cleaners, including water filter vacuum cleaners for household or
similar use.
Annex D is applicable to 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 annex are intended to be comparable to the results obtained for mains-operated
vacuum cleaners. The purpose of this annex is to specify additional requirements for
measurements of cordless dry vacuum cleaners.
NOTE 1 This annex is not intended for mains-operated vacuum cleaners or cleaning robots.
NOTE 2 Cordless handheld vacuums are excluded, except for 5.10.2 and 5.11.
NOTE 3 Measurements of the performance of mains-operated commercial dry vacuum cleaners are found in IEC
62885-8.
The purpose of this document is to specify essential performance characteristics of dry vacuum
cleaners which are of interest to users and to describe methods for measuring these
characteristics.
NOTE 4 Due to the influence of environmental conditions, variations in time, origin of test materials and proficiency
of the operator, some 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 5 The methods here can be applied with modifications for surface-cleaning product types or technologies not
currently covered within the scope.
For safety requirements, reference is made to IEC 60335-1:2020 [10] and IEC 60335-2-2 [11].
A recommendation on information for the consumer at the point of sale is given in Annex B.
