18、zation for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, I

19、EC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt wi

20、th may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non- governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by

21、agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees. 3)

22、IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are

23、used or for any misinterpretation by any end user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the

24、 corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsibl

25、e for any services carried out by independent certification bodies. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committe

26、es and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.

27、 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent r

28、ights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. A PAS is a technical specification not fulfilling the requirements for a standard, but made available to the public. IEC PAS 62958 has been processed by subcommittee 59D: Performance of household and similar elec

29、trical laundry appliances, of IEC technical committee 59: The text of this PAS is based on the following document: This PAS was approved for publication by the P-members of the committee concerned as indicated in the following document Draft PAS Report on voting 59D/423/PAS 59D/427/RVD Following pub

30、lication of this PAS, which is a pre-standard publication, the technical committee or subcommittee concerned may transform it into an International Standard. PD IEC/PAS 62958:2015 6 IEC PAS 62958:2015 IEC 2015 This PAS shall remain valid for an initial maximum period of 3 years starting from the pub

31、lication date. The validity may be extended for a single period up to a maximum of 3 years, at the end of which it shall be published as another type of normative document, or shall be withdrawn. A bilingual version of this publication may be issued at a later date. PD IEC/PAS 62958:2015IEC PAS 6295

32、8:2015 IEC 2015 7 INTRODUCTION SC 59D decided to address the measurement of the microbial contamination reduction in washing machines by developing a globally acceptable Publicly Available Specification to respond to the increase in consumer complaints regarding odour from washing machines and washe

PD IEC/PAS 62958:2015 8 IEC PAS 62958:2015 IEC 2015 CLOTHES WASHING MACHINES FOR HOUSEHOLD USE METHOD FOR MEASURING THE MICROBIAL CONTAMINATION REDUCTION 1 Scope This Publicly Available Specification (PAS) specifies a test method for measuring the redu

34、ction of microbial contamination in clothes washing machines and of the possible cross contamination to uncontaminated load. NOTE A significant differentiation in microorganism contamination reduction capability of washing machines can be expected at wash temperature not higher than 40 C. This PAS a

35、pplies to clothes washing machines for household use, with or without heating devices utilising cold and/or hot water supply. It also covers washing machines which specify the use of no detergent for normal use. This PAS applies also to washing machines for communal use in blocks of flats or in laun

36、derettes. This PAS does not deal with professional washing machines nor with commercial laundry operations associated with food service, hospital linens or other non-residential applications. It also does not address the needs of persons with specific health conditions requiring special sanitization

37、 and/or disinfection techniques. This PAS does not specify safety requirements and does not deal with performance of washing machines measured under IEC 60456 nor with effects on fabrics. 2 Normative references IEC 60456:2010, Clothes washing machines for household use Methods for measuring the perf
