Scope

This standard applies to electric irons for household and similar purposes. The purpose of this standard is to describe and define the basic performance characteristics of household and similar electric irons of interest to users, and to describe the standard method of testing these characteristics. The electric irons covered by this standard are: --- dry iron; --- steam iron; --- open steam iron with electric pump; --- spray iron; --- with a capacity not exceeding 5L separate water container or evaporator/generator for steam irons. This standard deals neither with safety nor with performance requirements. Note: The primary characteristic considered in the performance evaluation of electric irons is the basic ability to iron fabrics flat without causing scorching or other damage to the fabrics. A single method is designed to measure this consistently and reproducibly. Features are impossible. Therefore, the testing of electric irons includes the inspection of these parameters, such as: the temperature of the midpoint of the soleplate, the temperature distribution of the soleplate, etc., which can affect its basic characteristics. When evaluating the quality of an electric iron, any unexpected result of any of these parameters that can greatly affect the performance, in the comprehensive consideration of the results, there must be a noteworthy limit to give satisfactory ironing performance, That is, don't get overly concerned about subtle differences in individual results.
