BS EN IEC 62885-8:2019 PDF Download

The performance of dry vacuum cleaners used in business settings is measured by the BS EN IEC 62885-8:2019 standard, which was created expressly for this purpose. This standard is applicable to dry vacuums that are powered by the mains, including vacuums with water filters. It should be noted that this standard supplements the specifications given in the IEC 60335-2-69 standard for industrial vacuum cleaners.

This standard's primary goal is to outline the crucial performance parameters of dry vacuum cleaners for commercial use, which operators find extremely interesting. The standard also specifies the measurement techniques that must be used when determining these attributes. Due to the impact of environmental factors, variations in test materials, and operator skill, it is significant to note that some test methods may produce more reliable results when used for comparative testing of multiple appliances in the same laboratory, at the same time, and by the same operator.

The performance of surface-cleaning products or technologies that are not currently included in its scope can be measured using this standard with certain adjustments. Reference is given to IEC 60335-1 and IEC 60335-2-69 standards for safety requirements. Last but not least, the IEC PAS 62611, which was released in 2009, is superseded by this first edition of the standard.
