Clothes Washing Machines for Household Use: Methods for Measuring the Mechanical Action in Household Washing Machines
Also Known As:
DD IEC/PAS 62473:2007 is a standard that offers instructions for gauging the mechanical activity in home-use clothes washers. The standard is applicable to both cold and/or hot water supplies and machines with or without heating elements. It can also be used with equipment that performs both washing and drying.
This standard's main objective is to gauge the washing machines' "gentleness of action" (GoA). The term "GoA" describes how much mechanical agitation or motion is applied to the clothing throughout the washing process. The standard uses GoA to gauge the possible harm or wear that could be done to the textiles.
The standard offers techniques for gathering factual assessments of GoA. Manufacturers, testing facilities, and other relevant parties can utilize these techniques to assess and contrast the mechanical operations of various washing machines. Consumers can then utilize this information to educate themselves on the gentleness of operation of various machines, guiding them in the decision-making process when buying laundry appliances for their homes.
