Complete Guide to EN 60335-2-55 Safety of Household Vacuum Cleaners Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

EN 60335-2-55 is a European standard that governs the safety requirements for household vacuum cleaners. This standard is part of the IEC 60335 series, which covers electrical appliances and their safety features. EN 60335-2-55 is specific to vacuum cleaners, outlining the necessary safety measures to prevent injuries and damage.

The standard is developed by CENELEC (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization), a non-profit organization that sets standards for electrical equipment in Europe. The standard is based on international standards such as IEC 60335-2-55, which is developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

The standard is legally binding and is enforced by regulatory bodies such as the European Unions (EU) Committee for Standardization (CEN). Manufacturers of household vacuum cleaners must comply with EN 60335-2-55 to ensure their products meet safety requirements.
