Sicherheit elektrischer Geräte für den Hausgebrauch und ähnliche Zwecke - Teil 2-79: Besondere Anforderungen für Hochdruckreiniger und Dampfreiniger (IEC 60335-2-79:2012, modifiziert); Deutsche Fassung EN 60335-2-79:2012
Overview
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. 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. The standard has been adapted to the basic requirements of Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC with the aim of listing it under the Machinery Directive. The changes resulting from the discussions with the MD consultant and CENELEC TC 61 WG 6 from March 2008 to November 2008 are indicated by a vertical line at the left margin. The responsible body is DKE/UK 511.14 "Gewerbliche Bodenreinigungsmaschinen" ("Floor cleaning machines for commercial use") of DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
