A safety regulation that explicitly addresses spray extraction equipment for commercial usage is IEC 60335-2-68:2012. These machines are mobile, motor-powered cleaning tools that are not self-propelled. The standard applies to equipment used in a variety of settings, including factories, hotels, schools, hospitals, retail stores, office buildings, and rental services. These devices can be powered by the mains or batteries but lack traction drives. To ensure safe operation, the standard establishes specific limitations for the pressure, flow, and temperature of the cleaning chemical used in these devices.

In comparison to the third edition, the fourth edition of this standard includes a number of modifications and changes. The scope has been altered to clear up any ambiguity, and the title has been improved. To be consistent with the current criteria, the terminologies and definitions have been modified. The entire standard has been modified to take into account modern business practices and technological improvements. In parts, including those dealing with the emission of acoustic noise and vibration, changes have been made to the clauses relating to markings, directions, and particular requirements.

It is crucial to note that the general standards of IEC 60335-1:2010, which describe safety criteria for home appliances and related electrical devices, should be read in connection with IEC 60335-2-68:2012.
