15、 CARE APPLIANCES METHODS FOR MEASURING THE PERFORMANCE FOREWORD 1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to promote international co-o
16、peration on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards. Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt
17、 with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determin
18、ed by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of the 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 National Committee
19、s. 3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the form of standards, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National Committees in that sense. 4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undert
20、ake to apply IEC International Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) The IEC provides no marking procedu
21、re to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards. 6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject of patent rights. The IEC shall not be held re
22、sponsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard IEC 61855 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 59: Performance of household electrical appliances. The text of this standard is based on the following documents: FDIS Report on voting 59/307/FDIS 59/318/RVD Full
23、information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on voting indicated in the above table. This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged un
24、til 2005-04. At this date, the publication will be reconfirmed; withdrawn; replaced by a revised edition, or amended. A bilingual version of this publication may be issued at a later date. 4 61855 IEC:2003(E) INTRODUCTION This standard does not deal with hair care appliances with radiant heating or
25、with helmet dryers (see Scope) for the following reasons: the test methods are likely to be complicated and expensive and they might not be sufficiently repeatable; suitable and or proven test methods are not known at present; developing of test methods for these appliances will incur considerable c
26、osts; the market shares of these appliances are rather small. National Committees who consider that hair care appliances with radiant heating and helmet dryers should be included into maintainance activities are requested to submit proposals suitable for the corresponding test method.61855 IEC:2003(
27、E) 5 HOUSEHOLD ELECTRICAL HAIR CARE APPLIANCES METHODS FOR MEASURING THE PERFORMANCE 1 Scope This International Standard applies to electrical appliances for household and similar use for drying and styling hair (including their accessories). This standard defines the main performance characteristic
28、s that are of interest to the user and specifies methods of measuring these characteristics. The measuring procedures are developed for comparable tests. This standard does not specify requirements for performance. This standard does not cover hair care appliances with radiant heating, helmet-type d
29、ryers or cutting devices. NOTE 1 This standard does not deal with safety requirements (IEC 60335-2-23). NOTE 2 Due to the influence of environmental conditions, variations in time, origin of test materials and proficiency of the operator, most of the described test methods will give more reliable re
30、sults when applied for comparative testing of a number of appliances at the same time, in the same laboratory and by the same operator. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited appli
