Household and Similar Electric Appliances: Methods for Measuring the Performance of Clothes Washing Machines Intended for Commercial Use
Also Known As:
A European standard known as BS EN 50640:2018 outlines the procedures for evaluating the efficiency of clothes washers intended for commercial usage. These devices are made to be utilized in a variety of situations, including hotels, hospitals, factories, and farms, by trained personnel. They are also accessible to the general public in places like laundromats, apartment buildings, and shared laundry rooms.
The standard applies to a variety of clothes washers, including top-, front-, and side-loaded models with one or more wash chambers and a horizontal or vertical axis. Additionally, spin extractors and washer-dryers are included. However, it does not apply to machines that require automatic loading and unloading or continuous batch washing.
This standard's goal is to describe the key performance traits of commercial laundry equipment and offer test procedures for assessing these traits. It is significant to note that the safety requirements for these machines are covered by other standards and are not covered by this one.
