ISO/TC 195/SC 2/WG 2 - Sweeper

This document establishes content for commercial specifications for sweepers that are self-propelled (see Annex A) with an integrated chassis, chassis-mounted, pedestrian-controlled or towed behind a vehicle. This document applies to road surface cleaning machines used in outdoor improved surface applications for cleaning debris from public areas, roads, airports and industrial plants. This document does not specifically cover the carrier vehicle or towing vehicle (e.g. lorry). This document does not apply to: — cleaning machines for winter maintenance; — cleaning machines for indoor applications; — rotary road brush attachments which can be coupled to tractors and other machinery; — machines or components that are specifically designed for cleaning tram lines and rail tracks; — industrial sweepers.

This document specifies a uniform, reproducible testing process for various drive units, chassis, constructions and attached parts as well as sweeping systems of the sweepers described in ISO 24147, with which a comparison of the energy consumption levels can be performed. This defines a representative test circuit and/or test bench cycle with which the energy consumption levels of the sweepers to be inspected can be evaluated and compared within the scope of reproducible test trips and/or test bench runs.

This ISO Standard applies to surface cleaning machines for outdoor applications in public areas, roads, airports and industrial complexes. Surface cleaning machines in terms of this standard, are self-propelled, truck mounted, attached sweeping equipment or pedestrian controlled. This ISO Standard deals with the performance and functional characteristics and the test methods applied to the sweeping equipment when used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer. This ISO Standard does not include carrier vehicles (e.g. trucks). These are covered in national standards or directives for vehicles. This ISO Standard does not cover noise emission or any overload protection as these are covered by regulatory requirements. This document does not apply to: — cleaning machines for winter maintenance; — cleaning machines for indoor applications; — front mounted road cleaning attachments which can be coupled to tractors and other machinery; — machines or components that are specifically; — designed for cleaning tram lines and rail tracks; — industrial sweepers.
