Household and similar electrical air cleaning appliances - Methods for measuring the performance - Part 1: General requirements
IEC 63086-1:2020 applies to electrically powered household and similar air cleaners intended for use on rated single-phase AC input voltage circuits not exceeding 250 V and DC input voltage circuits not exceeding 48 V. If the test methods in this document are applied to combination products (air conditioners, humidifiers, dehumidifiers, heaters, etc.) with air cleaning function, they are only aimed at their air cleaning function when tested. Battery-operated appliances are within the scope of this document. Dual-supply appliances, either mains-supplied or battery-operated, are regarded as battery-operated appliances when operated in the battery mode. This document is not applicable to: - appliances intended exclusively for industrial purposes; - appliances intended for use in medical treatment locations, such as surgical suites, laboratories, medical treatments rooms, etc. - household range hoods or cooking fume extractors – see IEC 61591. This first edition cancels and replaces IEC PAS 62587 published in 2008.
IEC 63086-1:2020 is an international standard developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) that defines methods for measuring the performance of household and similar electrical air cleaning appliances. This first part of the series establishes the general requirements for testing electrically powered air cleaners designed for single-phase AC circuits up to 250 V and DC circuits up to 48 V. It also covers battery-operated and dual-supply devices (when in battery mode).
This standard replaces the previous IEC PAS 62587 (2008) and focuses specifically on the air cleaning function of appliances, including combination products such as air conditioners, humidifiers, and heaters with built-in air cleaning functionality.
IEC 63086-1 excludes appliances for industrial use, medical treatment locations like surgical suites and laboratories, and household range hoods or cooking fume extractors (covered under IEC 61591).
Scope and Applicability Defines the voltage limits and device types covered, including specifications for AC, DC, battery-operated, and combination devices limited to their air cleaning function.
Test Environment and Conditions Specifies the conditions under which devices are tested, including test chamber size (typically 30 m³), air exchange rate, and environmental parameters like temperature and humidity.
Instrumentation and Equipment Details the required instrumentation such as thermometers, hygrometers, timers, power supplies, and detectors (including CO detectors) necessary for accurate performance measurement.
Device Placement Guidelines on placement of different device types during testing, including floor, table, wall-mounted, robotic, and direct plug-in air cleaners to ensure standardized measurement conditions.
Performance Metrics Defines measurement procedures for air exchange rate, noise levels, and energy efficiency, including power consumption during maximum performance operation and standby.
Introduces calculation methods for pollutant concentration decay, clean air delivery rate (CADR), and decay constants to quantify air cleaning performance with precision.
