This European Standard was approved by CENELEC on 2008-02-01. CENELEC members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration.
Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national standards may be obtained on application to the Central Secretariat or to any CENELEC member.
This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other language made by translation under the responsibility of a CENELEC member into its own language and notified to the Central Secretariat has the same status as the official versions.
CENELEC members are the national electrotechnical committees of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

Foreword The text of document 59F/163/FDIS, future edition 4 of IEC 60312, prepared by SC 59F, Floor treatment appliances, of IEC TC 59, Performance of household electrical appliances, was submitted to the IEC-CENELEC parallel vote and was approved by CENELEC as EN 60312 on 2008-02-01. This European Standard supersedes EN 60312:1998 + A1:2000 + A2:2004. The following subclauses have been updated: – 2.9 on performance with partly filled receptacle; – 2.10 on determination of dust emission of the vacuum cleaners; – 4.14 on energy consumption. The following dates were fixed: – latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
at national level by publication of an identical
national standard or by endorsement
(dop)
2008-11-01 – latest date by which the national standards conflicting
with the EN have to be withdrawn
