This rating repre-sents a cleaners performance for a given characteristic on ascale of 1 to 10 (the larger the number the better theperformance).3.4.

16、1 The boundary values listed shall be considered theupper limit for each rating group. For example, a hard floorcleaning value of exactly 20.0 would result in a rating of 2, avalue of 20.1 would result in a rating of 3.3.4.2 Manufacturers who develop cleaners that exceed thehigh performance boundary

17、 shall be allowed to rate thatcharacteristic as Exceeds 10. When this occurs, however, themanufacturer is asked to notify the Consumer InformationSubcommittee to initiate a review of that characteristicsboundaries.3.5 Embedded dirt, maneuverability, maximum air power,quietness, and durability tests
