COMMON MODIFICATIONS
Introduction
Add the following paragraph:
Requirements on noise are requested in European delegated regulations supplementing Regulation (EU)
2017/1369 and regulations implementing EU Directive on ecodesign (2009/125/EC). Verification of noise
is set out in these regulations also. Commission delegated regulation (EU) 2017/254 and Commission
regulation (EU) 2016/2282 set out requirements on the use of tolerances in verification procedures.
These requirements are different from the statistical approach laid down in standard IEC 60704-3:2019.
Therefore, there is an addition to Clause 5.1. For determination purpose Clause 6 provides an option.
Caution is to be taken as the statistical approach is not aligned with requirements set out in the EU
regulations on verification.

5 Verification of declared noise emission values
5.1 Basis of the procedure
Add a paragraph at top of this clause as follows:

For verification of declared noise emission values related to EU regulations on energy labelling and
ecodesign this clause is not applicable. The criteria for pass and fail are laid down in these regulations.

NOTE Applicable EU regulations are available at Official Journal of the European Union.

Example “The determined value shall not exceed the declared value of LWA.”, see Commission Delegated
Regulation (EU) No 65/2014 on range hoods, Annex VIII.

6 Determination of noise emission values for declaration
6.1 Determination procedure
Add the following paragraph:
Caution shall be taken when applying the method described in 6.2 and 6.3 for the purpose of declaration
of sound power values for EU energy labelling and proofing compliance with EU requirements on
ecodesign. Paragraphs 6.2 and 6.3 are describing a statistical procedure for the determination of noise
which is aligned with the statistical verification procedure detailed in EN 60704-3:2019, Clause 5.
However, this approach does not fit with the requirements set out in said EU regulations.

Part 3: Procedure for determining and verifying

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
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 between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60704-3 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 59:
Performance of household electrical appliances.
IEC 60704-1:2010 has served as a basis for the elaboration of this standard.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2006. This edition
constitutes a technical revision. It includes the following significant technical changes with
respect to the previous edition:
a) in Annex A, standard deviations that are now specified for various appliance categories in
the parts of IEC 60704-2 have been excluded from Table A.1;
b) furthermore, this edition makes reference to new standards and is implementing
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 in a more accurate manner.
Standard deviations specified in part 2 documents of the IEC 60704 series supersede the
values given in Table A.1.

INTRODUCTION
A comprehensive and correct declaration of noise emission is very helpful to enable the
potential buyer to make a good choice between appliances of the same category (serving for
the same purpose) of different makes or for different models.
In order to ensure a correct declaration of noise emission values, this part of IEC 60704
describes a simple method for verifying declared values and provides information for
determining the noise emission values.
Different countries are implementing different market surveillance strategies. This document
is not implementing a mandatory market surveillance strategy.

Part 3: Procedure for determining and verifying
declared noise emission values



1 Scope
This part of IEC 60704 describes procedures for determining and verifying the declared
values of the noise emitted by household and similar appliances.
It applies to all categories of household and similar electrical appliances covered by
IEC 60704-1 and all parts of IEC 60704-2, which include particular requirements for special
categories of appliances.
It applies to appliances being produced in quantity, such as in batches, series or lots, which
are manufactured to the same technical specification and characterized by the same declared
value of noise emission.
This part of IEC 60704:
– considers the term "declaration" to include all means for providing information on the noise
emission values to potential users (consumers) of the appliances; this includes labels,
brochures, advertisements, commercial and technical information papers, etc.;
– considers the declaration for appliances manufactured by mass production;
– specifies a simple statistical method for verifying the declared values by investigating a
sample of only three appliances.
