If the difference exceeds 1 0 %, the supply voltage is the upper value of the range. The measurements are made with the appliance fitted with a clean dust bag and filter, any water collection container being empty. If the appliance is intended to be used only with a hose, detachable nozzles and tubes are removed and the hose is laid out straight. If the appliance is provided with a hose as an accessory, it is operated without the hose. Rotating brushes and similar devices are in operation but not in contact with any surface. Motorized cleaning heads are connected by means of the hose or tube and are in operation but not in contact with any surface. Appliance outlets for other accessories are loaded with a resistive load in accordance with the marking. Automatic battery-operated cleaners are operated with a clean dust bag or filter on the carpet meeting the construction specifications given in Table 1 in IEC TS 62885-1 :201 8. A frame of 1 ,5 m by 1 ,5 m is used on the carpet to limit the area of action. The air inlet is unobstructed.3.5 Definitions relating to types of appliances 3.5.1 01 ash vacuum cleaner vacuum cleaner intended to vacuum cold ash from fireplaces, chimneys, ovens, ash-trays and similar places of ash accumulation 3.5.1 02 automatic battery-operated cleaner vacuum cleaner that operates without human control only within a defined perimeter, within a pre-programmed area or in an area self-controlled by the appliance Note 1 to entry: The cleaner consists of the mobile part and may have a docking station. 3.5.1 03 centrally-sited vacuum cleaner vacuum cleaner that is connected to a ducting system installed in the building Note 1 to entry: During use, the nozzle and its associated hose are connected to one of the suction inlets of the ducting system.
