30、C/PAS 62611:2009 6 PAS 62611 IEC:2009(E) INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION _ VACUUM CLEANERS FOR COMMERCIAL USE METHODS FOR MEASURING PERFORMANCE FOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotec
31、hnical 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, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specification
32、s, 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 with may participate in this preparatory work. International, g
33、overnmental 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 agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisio
34、ns 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) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for internat
35、ional 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 used or for any misinterpretation by any end user. 4) In order
36、 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 corresponding national or regional publication shall be clear
37、ly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall
38、 attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees 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
39、 fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications. 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 publi
40、cation. 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. 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,
41、but made available to the public. IEC-PAS 62611 has been processed by subcommittee 59F: Floor treatment appliances, of IEC technical committee 59: Performance of household and similar electrical appliances. The text of this PAS is based on the following document: This PAS was approved for publicatio
42、n by the P-members of the committee concerned as indicated in the following document Draft PAS Report on voting 59F/184/PAS 59F/185/RVDFollowing publication of this PAS, which is a pre-standard publication, the technical committee or subcommittee concerned may transform it into an International Stan
43、dard. This PAS is based on the 4th edition of IEC 60312 (Vacuum cleaners for household use Method of measuring the performance), and has been adapted to the operating environment of commercial appliances. DD IEC/PAS 62611:2009PAS 62611 IEC:2009(E) 7 This PAS shall remain valid for an initial maximum
44、 period of 3 years starting from the publication date. The validity may be extended for a single 3-year period, following which it shall be revised to become another type of normative document, or shall be withdrawn. DD IEC/PAS 62611:2009 8 PAS 62611 IEC:2009(E) INTRODUCTION This PAS specifies provi
45、sional methods of measuring the performance of commercial vacuum cleaners for use in offices, shops and similar commercial establishments taking into account the differences in operation compared to household vacuum cleaners. It is the intention of subcommittee SC 59F to review this PAS based on exp
46、erience achieved and publish an International Standard on this subject. DD IEC/PAS 62611:2009PAS 62611 IEC:2009(E) 9 VACUUM CLEANERS FOR COMMERCIAL USE METHODS FOR MEASURING PERFORMANCE 1 Scope These test methods are applicable to vacuum cleaners for commercial use. The purpose of this PAS is to spe
47、cify essential performance characteristics of vacuum cleaners being of interest to the users and to describe methods for measuring these characteristics. NOTE Due to the influence of environmental conditions, variations in time, origin of test materials and proficiency of the operator, most of the d
48、escribed 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. For safety requirements, refer to IEC 60335-1, IEC 60335-2-2 and IEC 60335-2-69. 2 Normative references The followin
49、g referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
