ASTM F608-18 PDF Download

Standard test procedures like ASTM F608-18 are used to gauge how well commercial and home vacuum cleaners remove embedded debris from carpets. This test method's goal is to show a link between laboratory results and tests conducted at home, demonstrating that a vacuum cleaner that performs well in a lab setting is probably going to work well in a home setting. It is crucial to keep in mind that changes in homes, carpets, filth, and other factors could cause lab results to differ from those found in real homes.

This method makes use of standardized test carpets and test dirt to assure standardized testing. This standard's scope is restricted to laboratory testing; surface litter and debris disposal are not covered. It works with a range of vacuum cleaner models, including upright, canister, and combination models.
