IEC 62885-2:2026 pdf download,Surface cleaning appliances – Part 2: Dry vacuum cleaners for household or similar use – Methods for measuring the performance.
IEC 62885-2:2026 specifies standardized methods for measuring the performance of dry vacuum cleaners intended for household or similar use. It covers both mains-operated and cordless models, including water-filter vacuum cleaners, and defines how to test and compare key performance characteristics that matter to users. The standard aims to make results reproducible across appliances by controlling test conditions such as the test environment, test materials, and measurement setups. It includes additional requirements for cordless dry vacuum cleaners (via an annex) so that their performance measurements can be made in a way that remains comparable with mains-operated results. For related product types, it points to other standards (for example, cleaning robots and commercial dry vacuum cleaners). IEC 62885-2 also addresses how different practical factors can influence test outcomes and therefore when comparative testing is performed, the methods give more reliable results under consistent conditions, within the same laboratory and by the same operator.
