48 FOREWORD
49 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
50 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
51 co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
52 in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
53 Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC Publication(s)"). Their
54 preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
55 may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
56 with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
57 Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
58 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
59 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
60 interested IEC National Committees.
61 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
62 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
63 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
64 misinterpretation by any end user.
65 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
66 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
67 any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
68 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
69 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
70 services carried out by independent certification bodies.
71 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
72 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
73 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
74 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
75 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
76 Publications.
77 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
78 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
79 9) IEC draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
80 patent(s). IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights in
81 respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, IEC had not received notice of (a) patent(s), which
82 may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent
83 the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at https://patents.iec.ch shall
84 not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
85 IEC 60704-2-17 has been prepared by subcommittee 59F: Surface cleaning appliances, of IEC
86 technical committee 59: Performance of household and similar electrical appliances. It is an
87 International Standard.
88 This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2020. This edition
89 constitutes a technical revision.
90 This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
91 edition:
92 a) alignment with IEC 60704-1:2021;
93 b) addressing consumer relevant testing aspects, adding noise measurement on floor cleaning
94 robots and multifunctional base station;
IEC CDV 60704-2-17 © IEC 2026
95 c) robustness of standards and closing potential loop holes;
96 d) enlarged scope to floor cleaning robots by inclusion of noise measurement on wet cleaning
97 functionality
98 The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
59F/xxx/FDIS 59F/xxx/RVD

113 a particular subclause of IEC 60704-1:2021 is not mentioned in this document, that subclause
114 is applicable as far as reasonable. Where this standard states "addition", "modification" or
115 "replacement", the relevant requirements, test specifications or explanatory matter in Part 1
116 should be adapted accordingly.
117 Subclauses, tables, and figures that are additional to those in IEC 60704-1:2021 are numbered
118 starting from 101. Additional annexes are lettered AA, BB, etc.
119 Unless notes are in a new subclause or involve notes in IEC 60704-1:2021, they are numbered

134 INTRODUCTION
135 The measuring conditions specified in this document provide for sufficient accuracy in
136 determining the noise emitted and comparing the results of measurements taken by different
137 laboratories, whilst simulating as far as possible the practical use of floor cleaning robots.
138 It is recommended to consider the determination of noise levels as part of a comprehensive
139 testing procedure covering many aspects of the properties and performance of floor cleaning
140 robots.
141 NOTE As stated in the introduction to IEC 60704-1:2021, this test code is concerned with airborne noise only.
