1 Scope<\/b><\/p>\n
This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following.<\/p>\n
This International Standard deals with the safety of powered ride-on and powered <\/p>\n
WALK-BEHIND MACHINES<\/p>\n
intended for commercial indoor or outdoor use for the following applications:<\/p>\n
\u2013 sweeping,<\/p>\n
\u2013 scrubbing,<\/p>\n
\u2013 wet or dry pick-up,<\/p>\n
\u2013 polishing,<\/p>\n
\u2013 application of wax, sealing products and powder based detergents,<\/p>\n
\u2013 shampooing<\/p>\n
of floors with an artificial surface.<\/p>\n
Their cleaning motion is more linear than lateral or periodic.<\/p>\n
NOTE 101 By contrast, the cleaning motion of machines covered by IEC 60335-2-67 is more lateral or periodic than linear.<\/p>\n
NOTE 102 This standard applies to machines for <\/p>\n
commercial use<\/p>\n
. The following list, although not comprehensive, gives an indication of locations that are included in the scope:<\/p>\n
\u2013 public use areas such as hotels, schools, hospitals;<\/p>\n
\u2013 industrial locations, for example factories and manufacturing shops;<\/p>\n
\u2013 retail outlets, for example shops and supermarkets;<\/p>\n
\u2013 business premises, for example offices and banks;<\/p>\n
\u2013 all uses other than normal housekeeping purposes.<\/p>\n
They may be equipped with a <\/p>\n
TRACTION DRIVE<\/p>\n
system. The following power systems are covered:<\/p>\n
\u2013 internal combustion engines,<\/p>\n
\u2013 mains powered motors up to a <\/p>\n
RATED VOLTAGE<\/p>\n
of 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances,<\/p>\n
\u2013 battery powered motors.<\/p>\n
Battery powered machines may be equipped with a built-in battery charger.<\/p>\n
This standard does not apply to<\/p>\n
\u2013 floor treatment appliances for household use (IEC 60335-2-10);<\/p>\n
\u2013 floor treatment machines for <\/p>\n
COMMERCIAL USE<\/p>\n
IEC 60335-2-67);<\/p>\n
\u2013 spray extraction machines for <\/p>\n
COMMERCIAL USE<\/p>\n
(IEC 60335-2-68);<\/p>\n
\u2013 wet and dry vacuum cleaners, including power brush, for <\/p>\n
COMMERCIAL USE<\/p>\n
(IEC 60335-2-69);<\/p>\n
\u2013 road sweepers;<\/p>\n
NOTE 103 In Europe, EN 13019 covers road sweepers.<\/p>\n
\u2013 machines designed for use on <\/p>\n
SLOPES<\/p>\n
with a gradient exceeding 20\u00a0%;<\/p>\n
\u2013 machines equipped with a power take-off (PTO);<\/p>\n
\u2013 machines designed for use in corrosive or explosive environments (dust, vapour or gas);<\/p>\n
\u2013 machines designed for picking up hazardous dusts (as defined in IEC 60335-2-69), inflammable substances, or glowing particles;<\/p>\n
\u2013 machines designed for use in vehicles or on board of ships or aircraft.<\/p>\n
NOTE 104 Attention is drawn to the fact that<\/p>\n
\u2013 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;<\/p>\n
\u2013 <\/p>\n
RIDE-ON MACHINES<\/p>\n
designed for transport over public roads can be subject to additional requirements (e.g. lighting, license plate etc.).<\/p>\n
NOTE 105 Requirements for fuel-cells are under consideration.<\/p>\n
