Preface
This is the harmonized CSA Group and UL standard for Household and similar electrical appliances – Safety – Part 2-72: Particular requirements for floor treatment machines with or without traction drive, for commercial use. It is the second edition of CSA C22.2 No. 60335-2-72, and the second edition of UL 60335-2-72. This edition of CSA C22.2 No. 60335-2-72 supersedes the previous edition published in 2017 as CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 60335-2-72 (adopted IEC 60335-2-72:2012). This edition of UL 60335-2-72 supersedes the previous edition published on November 8, 2019.
This harmonized standard is based on IEC Publication 60335-2-72, Edition 4, Household and similar electrical appliances – Safety – Part 2-72: Particular requirements for floor treatment machines with or without traction drive, for commercial use, issued May 2016. IEC 60335-2-72 is copyrighted by the IEC.
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 International Standard deals with the safety of powered ride-on and powered WALK-BEHIND MACHINES intended for commercial indoor or outdoor use for the following applications:
– sweeping,
– scrubbing,
– wet or dry pick-up,
– polishing,
– application of wax, sealing products and powder based detergents,
– shampooing
of floors with an artificial surface.
Their cleaning motion is more linear than lateral or periodic.
NOTE 101 By contrast, the cleaning motion of machines covered by IEC 60335-2-67 is more lateral or periodic than linear.
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 may be equipped with a TRACTION DRIVE system. The following power systems are covered:
– internal combustion engines,
– mains powered motors up to a RATED VOLTAGE of 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances,
– battery powered motors.
Battery powered machines may be equipped with a built-in battery charger.
This standard does not apply to
– floor treatment appliances for household use (IEC 60335-2-10);
– floor treatment machines for COMMERCIAL USE IEC 60335-2-67);
– spray extraction machines for COMMERCIAL USE (IEC 60335-2-68);
– wet and dry vacuum cleaners, including power brush, for COMMERCIAL USE (IEC 60335-2-69);
– road sweepers;
NOTE 103 In Europe, EN 13019 covers road sweepers.
– machines designed for use on SLOPES with a gradient exceeding 20 %;
– machines equipped with a power take-off (PTO);
– machines designed for use in corrosive or explosive environments (dust, vapour or gas);
– machines designed for picking up hazardous dusts (as defined in IEC 60335-2-69), inflammable substances, or glowing particles;
– machines designed for use in vehicles or on board of ships or aircraft.
NOTE 104 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;
– RIDE-ON MACHINES designed for transport over public roads can be subject to additional requirements (e.g. lighting, license plate etc.).
NOTE 105 Requirements for fuel-cells are under consideration.
1DV.1 DE Modify Clause 1 of the Part 2 by replacing the paragraph and dashed list following Note 102 with the following:
They may be equipped with a TRACTION DRIVE system. They include the following energy sources or power systems, or combinations of them:
– mains up to a RATED VOLTAGE of 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances,
– internal combustion engines;
– batteries supplying 150 V or less;
– double layer (ultra) capacitors;
– fuel cells.
Energy sources or power systems utilizing both BATTERY and mains are excluded.
1DV.2 DE Modify Clause 1 of the Part 2 by replacing the first four dashed items and the ninth dashed item following This standard does not apply to with the following:
– floor treatment appliances for household use according to CAN/CSA-E60335-2-10 /CSA C22.2 No. 243 / UL 1017;
– floor treatment machines for COMMERCIAL USE according to CSA C22.2 No. 60335-2-67 / UL 60335-2-67 / CSA C22.2 No. 10 / UL 561;
– spray extraction machines for COMMERCIAL USE (CSA C22.2 No. 60335-2-68 / UL 60335-2-68 / CSA C22.2 No. 10 / UL 561);
– wet and dry vacuum cleaners, including power brush, for COMMERCIAL USE (CSA C22.2 No. 60335-2-69 / UL 60335-2-69 / CSA C22.2 No. 243 / UL 1017);
– machines designed for picking up hazardous dusts (CSA C22.2 No. 60335-2-69 /UL 60335-2-69), inflammable substances, or glowing particles;
1DV.3 DR Modify Clause 1 of the Part 2 by adding the following:
Except as noted, powered cleaning machines covered by this standard, other than mains supplied machines, are those identified by NFPA 505 as Types E, EE, ES, CGH, CNS, G, GS, D, DS, LP, LPS, CN, G/LP, GS/LPS, G/CN, and GS/CNS. Machines identified by NFPA 505 as Types EX, DY, and DX are not covered by this standard.
NOTE 106DV Additional requirements applicable to machine designations that include the letters EE or S can be found in Annexes 101.DVD and 101.DVE.
NOTE 107DV BATTERY-OPERATED APPLIANCES and other d.c. supplied appliances are within the scope of this standard. Dual supply appliances, either mains-supplied or battery-operated, are regarded as BATTERYOPERATED APPLIANCES when operated in the battery mode.
1DV.4 DR Modify Clause 1 of the Part 2 by adding the following:
This standard covers the above-noted products that are intended to be installed or used in accordance with:
– CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code (CE Code), Part I,
– NFPA 70, National Electrical Code (NEC), in the United States.
1DV.5 DE Modify Clause 1 of the Part 2 by adding the following note:
NOTE 108DV This Part 2-72 may be employed for investigation of components and sub-assemblies for the purpose of their pre-selection for use in appliances. If the component or sub-assembly used complies with this standard, the tests for the component or sub-assembly specified in the particular appliance standard in some cases will not need to be made in the particular appliance or assembly. Additional testing on a component or subassembly may be required. For example, if a control system is associated with the particular appliance control system, additional tests could potentially be necessary on the final appliance.
