Overview
This document deals with the safety of stand-alone electric spin extractors, and spin extractors incorporated in washing machines that have separate containers for washing and spin extraction. The appliances are intended for household and similar purposes, with a capacity not exceeding 10 kg of dry cloth and a drum peripheral speed not exceeding 50 m/s, their rated voltages being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances, including appliances powered by direct current and battery-powered appliances. Appliances not intended for normal household use but that nevertheless can be a source of danger to the public, such as appliances intended to be used by laymen in shops, in light industry and on farms, are within the scope of this standard. This standard does not apply to: - spin extractors intended exclusively for industrial purposes; - spin extractors intended to be used in locations where special conditions prevail, such as the presence of a corrosive or explosive atmosphere (dust, vapour or gas); - spin extractors intended for laundromats (EN 50569).
