BS EN 60335-2-72:2012 PDF Download

A standard that focuses on the safety standards for floor treatment machines used in commercial settings is called BS EN 60335-2-72:2012, which is also known as IEC 60335-2-72:2012. These devices are made to do a variety of tasks, including sweeping, scrubbing, wet or dry pick-up, polishing, and shampooing floors with artificial surfaces. They are designed for use in public spaces, commercial spaces, retail stores, office buildings, and other non-residential situations.

The standard applies to motorized walk-behind and ride-on vehicles that may have traction drive systems. Internal combustion engines, mains-powered motors with a rated voltage of 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances, and battery-powered motors are among the power systems taken into account. A battery charger may be included in devices that run on batteries.

This standard's third edition, which has various updates and adjustments, replaces the second edition that was released in 2002 and its Amendment 1 in 2005. A redesigned title for easier identification, an editorial revision of the scope, and general revisions to the standard to reflect cutting-edge procedures are just a few of the significant improvements. Additionally, new annexes on the emission of acoustic noise and vibration have been added, along with modifications to clauses relating to requirements, marks, and directions.
