AS/NZS 60335.2.72:2017 PDF Download

The safety standards for floor treatment machines with or without traction drive, specifically created for commercial usage, are the topic of AS/NZS 60335.2.72:2017. These machines can be used indoors or outdoors for tasks like sweeping, scouring, wet or dry pick-up, polishing, applying wax or detergent, and shampooing floors made of artificial materials.

In order to distinguish these machines from those covered by a different standard, the standard emphasizes that the cleaning motion of these machines is more linear than lateral or periodic. It applies to a variety of commercial venues, including places of public usage like hotels, schools, and hospitals; places of business like offices and banks; and industrial and retail establishments like factories and supermarkets.

The standard also addresses the various power sources used by these devices, such as battery-powered motors, internal combustion engines, and mains-powered motors (up to 480V for other appliances and 250V for single-phase appliances). A built-in battery charger may also be included with battery-powered devices to ensure their functionality.
