New Test Method for Material efficiency aspects for appliances for household or similar use - Methods for the determination of reliability of dry-cleaning vacuum cleaners
1. Scope
Develop a document (standard) that will be used to specify methods for assessing the reliability performance of dry-cleaning vacuum cleaners intended for household or similar use.
Keywords
vacuum cleaner; dry vacuum cleaner; household appliance; floor care appliance; cleaning appliance; reliability testing; durability testing; lifetime testing; test methods; IEC/ASTM test methods; appliance durability; household appliance reliability
Rationale
The new standard proposal is to align ASTM F11 standards in parallel IEC TC 59F efforts on the determination of reliability for dry-cleaning vacuum cleaners. The consolidation of methods will increase industry relevance, reduce duplication of testing and support innovation.
