18、IntroductionThis European Standard specifies a test method for the determination of the mechanical dishwashing resistance of domestic articles. The results obtained according to this document are intended to serve for comparison purposes for the dishwashing resistance of the different domestic artic
19、les and give an indication of resistance only under the standard conditions of this test. The dishwasher test method described in this document is both time consuming and expensive. However, no single accelerated and inexpensive test is available which gives comparable results to the dishwasher test
20、 for the whole variety of utensils made of various materials which are cleaned in dishwashers. The test method described here is to be used as a reference method for dishwashing resistance. Accelerated test methods may be used instead of the reference test method provided that valid comparison to th
21、e dishwasher test is shown. NOTE Consideration should be given to the normal use of each type of domestic article and its normal frequency of mechanical dishwashing. Further parts of EN 12875, under the general title Mechanical dishwashing resistance of utensils, that have already been published or
22、are in preparation are as follows: Part 2: Inspection of non-metallic articlesPart 4: Rapid test for domestic ceramic articlesPart 5: Rapid test for ceramic catering articlesEN 12875-1:2005 (E) 51 Scope This European Standard specifies a method for testing the resistance of domestic articles made fr
23、om ceramic, glass, glass ceramic, vitreous enamel, metal and plastics under the combined chemical, thermal and mechanical stresses of mechanical dishwashing in domestic dishwashers. It specifies a reference test method for domestic dishwashing only. It does not define the number of dishwashing cycle
24、s which any given product shall withstand. 2 Normative references The following 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 amen

31、nt is automatically dispensed at the appropriate time during the test cycle 3.9 water softener device which reduces the hardness of water by a cation exchange system 3.10 normal corrected vision naked eye corrected to normal vision if necessary NOTE This is usually by the wearing of spectacles. 4 Pr
32、inciple Unused articles are repeatedly exposed to a standardized test cycle in a test dishwasher which simulates usual household dishwashing machines. The test dishwasher is a machine in which a washing cycle consists of several partial steps: pre-wash, a cleaning step using alkaline cleaner, an int
33、ermediate rinse step, and the final rinse during which a rinse aid is added. The washing cycle is followed by a drying step. The test dishwasher is fully loaded. After testing the articles are inspected for deviations from the original according to the conditions specified in the relevant standards
34、for various groups of products. 5 Reagents 5.1 Water The used water shall be drinking water and shall have a temperature of (15 5) C. It shall be softened by the cation exchanger as specified in 6.1. NOTE 1 Attention is drawn to EU directive 80/778/EEC and any national legislation relating to drinki
35、ng water. For testing metal articles, the chloride ion content shall not exceed 150 mg l-1when determined in accordance with ISO 9297. For testing plastics articles, the copper content shall not exceed 0,03 mg l-1when determined in accordance with ISO 8288. NOTE 2 A higher copper content results in
36、a noticeable yellowing of plastics. 5.2 Cleaning and rinse agents For the purpose of this test, cleaning detergent A containing phosphate, and the acidic rinse agent formula II, as given in IEC 60436, shall be used. EN 12875-1:2005 (E) 76 Features of the test dishwasher 6.1 Water softener (cation ex
37、changer), which shall be controlled to give a water hardness c(Ca2+ Mg2+)of between 0,3 mmol/l1)and 0,6 mmol/l2), when tested in accordance with ISO 6059. 6.2 Heat supply sufficient to provide the heating rate specified in 8.3.c). 6.3 Constant water quantity for each washing cycle of (6,0 0,5) l, wi
38、th a water pressure of between 5 N/cm2and 100 N/cm2.6.4 Automatic proportioning devices to deliver the required amount of cleaning and rinse agents in each test cycle. 6.5 Automatic fully opening door or means of reducing temperature and humidity at an equivalent rate following completion of the was
39、hing cycle. 6.6 Thermostat with an accuracy of 1 C. 6.7 Automation to the effect that the complete washing cycle specified in 8.3 is performed and repeated automatically. 6.8 Counter which records the number of washing cycles. 6.9 For safety the dishwasher shall comply with EN 60335-1 and EN 60335-2
40、-5. 7 Test specimens For each article a sufficient number of unused specimens of identical shape, size and surface finish shall be tested and further specimens shall be retained for reference. NOTE It is recommended that at least three test specimens are tested in order to obtain representative resu
41、lts. The specimens shall be free of surface contamination, e.g. by washing by hand in a mild liquid detergent at about 45 C. The specimens shall be examined for any quality defects, and these shall be noted. 8 Procedure 8.1 Preparation of test dishwasher When testing metal articles, after each regen
42、eration of the ion exchanger with sodium chloride, run one test cycle (see 8.3) with no test specimens. 8.2 Loading the test dishwasher The test dishwasher shall be fully loaded, using dummy articles to fill excess capacity if necessary. Each specimen shall be placed in the appropriate basket making
43、 sure that the specimens will not come into contact with each other during testing. All surfaces shall be equally exposed to the water spray, and the specimens shall be positioned in a way that avoids the formation of water pools. It is permissible to simultaneously wash several different types of d
44、omestic articles of ceramic, glass, metal or plastics. NOTE The risk of interaction between different materials should be considered. Where there is such a risk, such specimens should not be tested together. 1) 1 mmol/l = 5,6 DH or 1 DH = 0,1786 mmol/l. 2) 1 mmol/l = 5,6 DH or 1 DH = 0,1786 mmol/l.
45、EN 12875-1:2005 (E) 8If it is necessary to withdraw a test specimen during the test, it shall be replaced by a similar article. 8.3 Test cycle The test cycle shall comprise the following stages. a) Draining the dishwasher by pump. b) Pre washing the test specimens in the dishwasher by: 1) filling th
46、e dishwasher with water (see 5.1); 2) circulating the water for (5 0,5) min; 3) draining the dishwasher by pump. c) Washing the test specimens in the dishwasher by: 1) filling the dishwasher with water and (24 3) g cleaning agent (see 5.2) per (6,0 0,5) litres of water; 2) heating to (60 2) C while
47、circulating the water and cleaning agent for (20 1) min; 3) circulating the water and cleaning agent for a further (10 1) min without heating; 4) draining the dishwasher by pump. d) Intermediate rinsing the test specimens in the dishwasher by: 1) filling the dishwasher with water; 2) circulating the
48、 water for (3 0,5) min; 3) draining the dishwasher by pump. e) Final rinsing the test specimens in the dishwasher by: 1) filling the dishwasher with water; 2) heating to (65 2) C while circulating the water; 3) measuring when a temperature of between 40 C and 45 C has been reached, and adding betwee
49、n 2,5 g and 3,0 g of rinse agent (see 5.2) per (6,0 0,5) litres of water. 4) measuring when a temperature of (65 2) C has been reached and draining the dishwasher by pump. f) Drying the test specimens in the dishwasher by retaining them in the dishwasher for: 1) (10 1) min with the door closed; 2) (30 1) min with the door open.8.4 Parameter control The parameters of the test cycle listed below shall be verified before starting the first test cycle and after every 50th test cycle. a) Heating rates and maximum te
