Scope:

This Standard applies to electrical motor-operated vacuum cleaners and includes appliances and stationary equipment specifically designed for wet suction, dry suction, or wet and dry suction for industrial and commercial use with or without attachments, for example for suction to withdraw dust or the like from work benches and production machines.

NOTE - Commercial uses are, for example, for use in hotels, schools, hospitals, factories, shops and offices for other than normal housekeeping purposes.

This Standard also applies to machines handling hazardous dust, e.g. asbestos, or liquids for which additional national requirements apply.

It is also applicable to appliances making use of other forms of energy for the motor; but it is necessary that their influence is taken into consideration.

Project need:

To review the Standard within the required 5 year period.
