7.3.1.1 Vacuum cleaners
7.3.1.1.1 Vacuum cleaners without auxiliary apparatus shall be measured while operating continuously without accessories and with an empty dust bag in place. Vacuum cleaners with a mains lead retracted by an automatic cord reel are to be measured with the mains lead pulled out completely, in accordance with 5.2.1.1.
7.3.1.1.3 For the frequency range 30 MHz to 300 MHz the measurement of disturbance power shall be performed with the absorbing clamp (in addition to the measurement at the mains terminals) by replacing the suction hose and its integrated lead (but only if the plug or socket is easily replaceable by the user) with a flexible cord connected to the terminals on the main unit and of necessary length having the same number of wires as provided in the originally submitted suction hose.
7.3.1.1.4 Auxiliary power nozzles of vacuum cleaners shall be operated continuously without mechanical load on the brushes. The cooling, if necessary, shall be provided by a nonmetallic hose.
If the power nozzle is connected by a non-detachable supply lead having a total length shorter than 0,4 m or if connected directly by plug and socket to the vacuum cleaner they shall be measured together. In all other cases, the appliances shall be measured separately.
