Significance and Use

This test method provides a laboratory test for determining the relative carpet dirt removal effectiveness of residential central vacuum cleaning systems when tested under standard conditions and on representative types of carpets.

This laboratory test method may not give a representation of carpet embedded dirt cleaning effectiveness in the home.

In order to provide a uniform basis for measuring performance as described in 1.1, standardized test carpets and a standardized test dirt are employed in this procedure.

The results reflect a non-loaded cleaning capability and may not be representative of cleaning capabilities under dirt loading conditions.

Scope

1.1 This test method is applicable to residential central vacuum cleaning systems intended for cleaning carpets.

1.2 This test method applies only to embedded dirt removal from carpets.

1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

X1.1.1 The purpose of this test is to determine a ratio of a carpet-embedded dirt removal effectiveness and a home-carpet embedded removal effectiveness rating which can be used for comparing one or more vacuum cleaners against a standard vacuum cleaner and determining correlation with laboratory ASTM tests. The results are representative of the geographic area covered by the test homes.
