IEC TR 61592:2003 PDF Download

Consumer panel testing procedures for domestic electrical appliances are outlined in the IEC TR 61592:2003 standard. The standard applies to domestic electrical appliances that fall under the purview of IEC Technical Committee 59, which is concerned with the functionality of such products.

Consumer panel testing involves a group of customers who use and evaluate the appliances in their own homes in order to assess the usability and performance of household electrical equipment. This method enables a thorough assessment that considers consumer viewpoints and actual usage circumstances.

The standard intends to offer direction on a number of consumer panel testing-related issues, such as the choice of suitable appliances, the recruitment and makeup of consumer panels, the test procedures to be followed, and the interpretation and analysis of the test findings.
