CSA C22.2 NO. 60335-2-69:22

Preface 

This is the harmonized CSA Group and UL standard for Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-69: Particular requirements for wet and dry vacuum cleaners, including power brush, for commercial use . It is the third edition of CSA C22.2 No. 60335-2-69, and the first edition of UL 60335-2-69. This edition of CSA C22.2 No. 60335-2-69 supersedes the previous edition published in 2001 as CAN/CSA-E60335-2-69 (adopted IEC 60335-2-69:1997, including Amendment 1:2000). This harmonized standard is based on IEC Publication 60335-2-69, Fifth edition, Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-69: Particular requirements for wet and dry vacuum cleaners, including power brush, for commercial use, issued June 2016. IEC 60335-2-69 is copyrighted by the IEC. This harmonized standard was prepared by CSA Group and Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL). The efforts and support of the Technical Harmonization Committee are gratefully acknowledged. This standard is considered suitable for use for conformity assessment within the stated scope of the standard. This standard was reviewed by the CSA Subcommittee on Electrical Motor and Battery-Operated Cleaning Appliances for Industrial and Commercial Use, under the jurisdiction of the CSA Technical Committee on Consumer and Commercial Products and the CSA Strategic Steering Committee on Requirements for Electrical Safety, and has been formally approved by the CSA Technical Committee. This standard has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group. 

Scope 

This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following. This part of IEC 60335 deals with the safety of electrical motor-operated vacuum cleaners, including BACKPACK VACUUM CLEANERS, and DUST EXTRACTORS, for wet suction, dry suction, or wet and dry suction, intended for commercial indoor or outdoor use with or without attachments. They may be provided with a blowing or inflating function. It also deals with the safety of CENTRALLY-SITED VACUUM CLEANERS, excluding the installation of the system. 1DV.1 DR Modification to add the following: Clause 1DV.1 of the Part 1 applies. NOTE 101 Attention is drawn to the fact that additional requirements on the safe installation of CENTRALLY-SITED VACUUM CLEANERS are not addressed by this standard but need to be taken into account. 

NOTE 102 This standard applies to machines for COMMERCIAL USE. The following list, although not comprehensive, gives an indication of locations that are included in the scope: 

- public use areas such as hotels, schools, hospitals; 

- industrial locations, for example factories and manufacturing shops; 

- retail outlets, for example shops and supermarkets; 

- business premises, for example offices and banks; 

- all uses other than normal housekeeping purposes. They are not equipped with a traction drive. The following power systems are covered: 

- mains powered motors up to a RATED VOLTAGE of 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances, 

- battery powered motors. 

1DV.2 DE Modification to replace the paragraph and dashed list following note 102 with following: 

They are not equipped with a traction drive. Machines equipped with traction drive are under the scope of CSA C22.2 No. 60335-2-72 / UL 60335-2-72. The following power systems are covered: 

- mains powered motors up to a RATED VOLTAGE of 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances, 

- battery powered motors. This standard also applies to machines handling HAZARDOUS DUST, such as asbestos. 

NOTE 103 Additional requirements for machines handling HAZARDOUS DUST are given in Annex AA. Attention is drawn to the fact that in many countries additional requirements on hazardous substances might apply. 

NOTE 104 Radioactive substances are not covered by definition of HAZARDOUS DUST for the purposes of this standard. This standard does not apply to 

- vacuum cleaners and water-suction cleaning appliances for household use (IEC 60335-2-2); 

- floor treatment machines for COMMERCIAL USE (IEC 60335-2-67, IEC 60335-2-72); 

- spray extraction machines for COMMERCIAL USE (IEC 60335-2-68);

- machines designed for use in corrosive environments; 

- machines designed for picking up liquids with a flash point below 55 ° C; 

- machines designed for use in explosive environments (dust, vapour or gas), except those designed for use in zone 22. 

NOTE 105 The flash point temperature limit may vary in different countries. National regulations will need to be taken into account. 

NOTE 106 Additional requirements for vacuum cleaners designed for collecting COMBUSTIBLE DUST in zone 22 are given in Annex CC. 

NOTE 107 Attention is drawn to the fact that in many countries additional requirements on the safe use of the equipment covered can be specified by the national health authorities, the national authorities responsible for the protection of labour, the national water supply authorities and similar authorities. 1DV.3 DE Modification to replace the dashed items following "This standard does not apply to" with the following: 

- vacuum cleaners and water-suction cleaning appliances for household use (CAN/CSA E60335-2-2, CSA C22.2 No. 243 / UL 1017) - floor treatment machines for COMMERCIAL USE, (CSA C22.2 No. 60335-2-67 / UL 60335-2-67, CSA C22.2 No. 60335-2-72 / UL 60335-2-72);
