Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-69: Particular requirements for wet and dry vacuum cleaners, including power brush, for commercial use
IEC 60335-2-69:2016 is available as IEC 60335-2-69:2016RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.
IEC 60335-2-69:2016 deals with the safety of electrical motor-operated vacuum cleaners, including back-pack vacuum cleaners, and dust extractors, for wet suction, dry suction, or wet and dry suction, intended for commercial indoor or outdoor use with or without attachments. They may be provided with a blowing or inflating function. It also deals with the safety of centrally-sited vacuum cleaners, excluding the installation of the system. Requirements on the safe installation of centrally-sited vacuum cleaners are not addressed by this standard but need to be taken into account. This standard applies to machines for commercial use. The following list, although not comprehensive, gives an indication of locations that are included in the scope:
- public use areas such as hotels, schools, hospitals;
- industrial locations, for example factories and manufacturing shops;
- retail outlets, for example shops and supermarkets;
- business premises, for example offices and banks and
- all uses other than normal housekeeping purposes. They are not equipped with a traction drive. The following power systems are covered: mains powered motors up to a rated voltage of 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances, and battery powered motors. This standard also applies to machines handling hazardous dust, such as asbestos. This standard does not apply to:
- vacuum cleaners and water-suction cleaning appliances for household use;
- floor treatment machines for commercial use;
- spray extraction machines for commercial use;
- hand-held mains-operated electrical garden blowers, vacuums and blower vacuums;
- hand-held and transportable motor-operated electric tools;
- appliances for medical purposes;
- machines designed for use in corrosive environments;
- machines designed for picking up liquids with a flash point below 55 °C and machines designed for use in explosive environments (dust, vapour or gas), except those designed for use in zone 22. This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition published in 2012. It constitutes a technical revision. The principal changes in this edition as compared with the third edition of IEC 60335-2-69 are as follows (minor changes are not listed):
- the scope has been revised editorially to avoid misunderstandings;
- terms and definitions has been revised with regard to the requirements revised;
- the standard has been revised in general and updated regarding state-of-the-art, as far as necessary, in particular some changes have been made to Clauses 15, 22 and 25;
- the standard has been aligned with the newest amendment of IEC 60335-1:2010+A1:2013;
- Annex AA was revised and restructured;
- Annex CC was revised;
- general additions for vacuum cleaners with blowing functions have been introduced and a new Annex GG 'Particular requirements for mobile wet vacuum cleaners for rescue and firefighting services (MWF)' was added. It was established on the basis of the fifth edition (2010) of that standard. The attention of National Committees is drawn to the fact that equipment manufacturers and testing organizations may need a transitional period following publication of a new, amended or revised IEC publication in which to make products in accordance with the new requirements and to equip themselves for conducting new or revised tests. It is the recommendation of the committee that the content of this publication be adopted for implementation nationally not earlier than 12 months or later than 36 months from the date of its publication. Key words: Vacuum Cleaner, Commercial Use, Wet and Dry Vacuum Cleaner, Power Brush
This publication is to be read in conjunction with IEC 60335-1:2010.
Appareils électrodomestiques et analogues - Sécurité - Partie 2-69: Exigences particulières pour les aspirateurs fonctionnant en présence d'eau ou à sec, y compris les brosses motorisées, à usage commercial
L'IEC 60335-2-69:2016 traite de la sécurité des aspirateurs électriques à moteur, y compris les aspirateurs dorsaux et les extracteurs de poussière, pour aspiration d'eau, aspiration à sec, ou aspiration d'eau et à sec, destinés à un usage commercial en extérieur et en intérieur avec ou sans accessoires. Ils peuvent être fournis avec une fonction de soufflage ou de gonflage. Elle traite également de la sécurité des aspirateurs à unité centrale d'aspiration, à l'exception de l'installation du système. La présente norme s'applique aux machines destinées à un usage commercial. La liste suivante, bien que non exhaustive, fournit une indication des lieux inclus dans le domaine d'application:
- lieux publics tels que des hôtels, des écoles, des hôpitaux,
- sites industriels, par exemple des usines et des ateliers de fabrication,
- commerces de détail, par exemple des boutiques et des supermarchés,
- locaux commerciaux, par exemple des bureaux et des banques,
- toutes utilisations autres que l'entretien domestique normal. Ces appareils ne sont pas équipés d'un dispositif de transmission. Les systèmes d'alimentation suivants sont couverts, moteurs alimentés par secteur avec une tension assignée maximale de 250 V pour les appareils monophasés et 480 V pour les autres appareils, et les moteurs alimentés par batterie. La présente norme s'applique en outre aux machines manipulant de la poussière dangereuse, telle que de l'amiante. La présente norme ne s'applique pas
- aux aspirateurs et aux appareils de nettoyage à aspiration d'eau à usage domestique;
- aux machines de traitement des sols à usage commercial;
- aux machines de nettoyage par pulvérisation et aspiration à usage commercial;
- aux souffleurs, aspirateurs et aspiro-souffleurs portatifs pour le jardin, alimentés par le secteur;
- aux outils électroportatifs à moteur et portables;
- aux appareils destinés à des usages médicaux;
- aux machines destinées à être utilisées dans des environnements corrosifs;
- aux machines destinées à aspirer des liquides dont le point d'éclair est inférieur à 55 °C;
- aux machines destinées à être utilisées dans des environnements explosifs (poussière, vapeur ou gaz), à l'exception de celles destinées à être utilisées en zone 22. Cette cinquième édition annule et remplace la quatrième édition parue en 2012. Elle constitue une révision technique. Les principales modifications de cette édition, par rapport à la quatrième édition de l'IEC 60335-2-69, sont les suivantes (les modifications mineures ne sont pas mentionnées):
- le domaine d'application a été révisé sur le plan rédactionnel afin d'éviter toute incompréhension;
- les termes et définitions ont été révisés conformément à la révision des exigences;
- la norme a été révisée de manière générale et mise à jour concernant l'état de l'art, dans la mesure du nécessaire, en particulier quelques modifications ont été apportées aux Articles 15, 22 et 25;
- la norme a été alignée avec l'amendment le plus récent de l'IEC 60335-1:2010+A1:2013;
- l'Annexe AA a été révisée et restructurée;
- l'Annexe CC a été révisée; des additions générales pour les aspiraterus avec des fonctions de soufflage ont été introduites;
- une nouvelle Annexe GG 'Exigences particulières relatives aux aspirateurs mobiles fonctionnant en présence d'eau pour les services de sauvetage et de lutte contre l'incendie (MWF)' a été ajoutée. Elle a été établie sur la base de la cinquième édition (2010) de cette norme. L'attention des Comités Nationaux est attirée sur le fait que les fabricants d'appareils et les organismes d'essai peuvent avoir besoin d'une période transitoire après la publication d'une nouvelle publication IEC, ou d'une publication amendée ou révisée, pour fabriquer des produits conformes aux nouvelles exigences et pour adapter leurs équipements aux nouveaux essais ou aux essai

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 Specifications,
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, governmental 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 bet
