scope:

This European Standard deals with the safety of high pressure cleaners without traction drive, intended for household and commercial indoor or outdoor use, having a rated pressure not less than 2,5 MPa and not exceeding 35 MPa. It also applies to steam cleaners and those parts of hot water high pressure cleaners incorporating a steam stage which have a capacity not exceeding 100 l, a rated pressure not exceeding 2,5 MPa and a product of capacity and rated pressure not exceeding 5 MPa·l. The following power systems of the drive for the high pressure pump are covered: - mains powered motors up to a rated voltage of 250 V for single-phase machines and 480 V for other machines, - battery powered motors, - internal combustion engines, - hydraulic or pneumatic motors. This part 2 applies in conjunction with EN 60335-1:2002 and its amendments, which is referred to in this text as "Part 1". This part 2 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses of Part 1 as indicated in the text. This standard does not apply to - high pressure water jet machines as covered by EN 1829-1; - steam cleaners intended for domestic use as covered by IEC 60335-2-54; - machines designed to be part of a production process; - machines designed for use in vehicles or on board of ships or aircraft; - machines designed for use in corrosive or explosive environments (dust, vapour or gas); - cleaners designed for medical application; - hand-held motor-operated electric tools as covered by IEC 60745 (series); - transportable motor-operated electric tools as covered by IEC 61029 (series); - machines for application of coating; NOTE Z101 EN 1953 gives requirements for atomising and spraying equipment for coating materials. EN 12621 gives requirements for machinery for the supply and circulation of coating and/or auxiliary materials under pressure - agricultural sprayers; NOTE Z102 EN 907 gives requirements for sprayers and liquid fertilizer distributors for agricultural and forestry purposes - non-liquid, solid abrasive cleaners. NOTE Z103 Attention is drawn to the fact that in many countries additional requirements on the safe use of the equipment covered may be specified by the national health authorities, the national authorities responsible for the protection of labour, the national water supply authorities and similar authorities.
