IEC 60335-2-69-ed.6.0

Annotation of standard text IEC 60335-2-69-ed.6.0 :

IEC 60335-2-69:2021 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. These machines may be provided with a blowing or inflating function. The inner diameter of the dust container connector to the suction hose shall not exceed 200 mm. It also deals with the safety of centrally-sited vacuum cleaners, excluding the installation of the system. Attention is drawn to the fact that additional 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; – all uses other than normal housekeeping purposes. These machines 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, – battery-operated motors. Machines for the same intended function but equipped with a traction drive are covered by IEC 60335-2-72. This standard also applies to machines handling hazardous dust, such as asbestos, and combustible dust in other than an explosive dust atmosphere. Additional requirements for machines handling hazardous dust are given in normative Annex AA. Attention is drawn to the fact that in many countries additional requirements on hazardous substances might apply. Radioactive substances are not covered by definition of hazardous dust for the purposes of this standard. This standard does not apply to – vacuum cleaners and water-suction cleaning appliances for household use (IEC 60335-2-2); – floor treatment machines for commercial use (IEC 60335-2-67, IEC 60335-2-72); – spray extraction machines for commercial use (IEC 60335-2-68); IEC 60335-2-67 and IEC 60335-2-68 cover only machines without traction drive. – hand-held mains-operated electrical garden blowers, vacuums and blower vacuums (IEC 60335-2-100); – hand-held and transportable motor-operated electric tools (IEC 60745 series, IEC 61029 series, IEC 62841 series); – appliances for medical purposes (IEC 60601-1); – machines designed for use in corrosive environments; – machines designed for picking up liquids with a flash point below 55 °C; – machines designed for use in explosive environments (dust, vapour or gas), except those designed for use in zone 22; – machines intended to vacuum ash from fireplaces, chimneys, ovens, ashtrays and similar places of ash accumulation. This sixth edition cancels and replaces the fifth edition published in 2016. It constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: – editorial and technical alignment with IEC 60335-1:2020; – addition of requirements for pick-up of combustible dusts in other than an explosive dust atmosphere. This part 2 is only to be used in conjunction with the latest edition of IEC 60335-1 and its amendments. It was established on the basis of the sixth edition (2020) of that standard. LIEC 60335-2-69:2021 traite de la securite des aspirateurs electriques a moteur, y compris les aspirateurs dorsaux, et des extracteurs de poussiere, pour aspiration en presence deau, aspiration a sec, ou aspiration a sec et en presence deau, destines a un usage commercial en interieur ou en exterieur, avec ou sans accessoires. Ces machines peuvent etre fournies avec une fonction de soufflage ou de gonflage. Le diametre interieur du connecteur du compartiment a poussiere du tuyau daspiration ne doit pas depasser 200 mm. Elle traite egalement de la securite des aspirateurs a unite centrale daspiration, hors installation du systeme. Lattention est attiree sur le fait que les exigences supplementaires relatives a linstallation sure des aspirateurs a unite centrale daspiration ne sont pas traitees dans la presente norme, mais quil est necessaire de les prendre en compte. La presente norme sapplique aux machines a usage commercial. La liste suivante, bien que non exhaustive, donne une indication des endroits inclus dans le domaine dapplication: – zones ouvertes au public, telles que les hotels, les ecoles, les hopitaux; – sites industriels, par exemple usines et ateliers de fabrication; – commerces de detail, par exemple magasins et supermarches; – locaux commerciaux, par exemples bureaux et banques; – tous les usages autres que lutilisation domestique normale. Ces machines ne sont pas equipees dune commande de dispositif de deplacement. Les systemes dalimentation suivants sont couverts: – moteurs alimentes par le reseau de tension assignee inferieure ou egale a 250 V pour les appareils monophases et a 480 V pour les autres appareils, – moteurs alimentes par batteries. Les machines concues pour la meme fonction prevue, mais equipees dune commande de dispositif de deplacement sont couvertes par lIEC 60335-2-72. La presente norme sapplique en outre aux machines qui manipulent de la poussiere dangereuse, telle que de lamiante, et de la poussiere combustible dans une atmosphere autre quune atmosphere explosive de poussiere. Des exigences supplementaires relatives aux machines qui manipulent de la poussiere dangereuse sont donnees a lAnnexe AA normative. Lattention est attiree sur le fait que, dans de nombreux pays, des exigences supplementaires relatives aux substances dangereuses peuvent sappliquer. Les substances radioactives ne sont pas couvertes par la definition de la poussiere dangereuse pour les besoins
