Surface cleaning appliances - Part 2: Dry vacuum cleaners for household or similar use - Methods for measuring the performance

IEC 62885-2:2026 is applicable for measurements of the performance of mains-operated and cordless dry vacuum cleaners, including water filter vacuum cleaners for household or similar use. Table D.1 of Annex D is applicable to measurements of the performance of cordless dry vacuum cleaners for household use or under conditions similar to those in households. The results obtained under this annex are intended to be comparable to the results obtained for mains-operated vacuum cleaners. The purpose of Annex D is to specify additional requirements for measurements of cordless dry vacuum cleaners. Cleaning robots are evaluated to IEC/ASTM 62885-7. Handheld dry vacuum cleaners are excluded, except for 5.10.2 and 5.11. Measurements of the performance of mains-operated commercial dry vacuum cleaners are found in IEC 62885-8. The purpose of this document is to specify essential performance characteristics of dry vacuum cleaners which are of interest to users and to describe methods for measuring these characteristics. Due to the influence of environmental conditions, variations in time, origin of test materials and proficiency of the operator, some of the described test methods will give mor
