1.1 Scope 1.1.1 General This part of IEC 60704 applies to electric appliances (including their accessories or components) for household and similar use, supplied from mains or from batteries. By similar use is understood the use in similar conditions as in households, for example in inns, coffee-houses, tea-rooms, hotels, barber or hairdresser shops, launderettes, etc., if not otherwise specified in part 2. This standard does not apply to – appliances, equipment or machines designed exclusively for industrial or professional purposes; – appliances which are integrated parts of a building or its installations, such as equipment for air conditioning, heating and ventilating (except household fans, cooker hoods and free standing heating appliances), oil burners for central heating, pumps for water supply and for sewage systems; – separate motors or generators; – appliances exclusively for outdoor use. 1.1.2 Types of noise A classification of different types of noise is given in ISO 12001:1996. The method specified in ISO 3744:2010 is suitable for measurements of all types of noise emitted by household appliances. The methods specified in ISO 3743-1:2010 and ISO 3743-2:2018 are suitable for all types of noise, except for sources of impulsive noise consisting of short duration noise bursts. This will be taken into account in the preparation of parts 2. 1.1.3 Size of the source The method specified in ISO 3744:2010 is applicable to noise sources of any size. Limitations for the size of the source are given in 4.2 of ISO 3743-1:2010 and 1.3 of ISO 3743-2:2018. This will be taken into account in the preparation of parts 2. 1.2 Object This standard is concerned with objective methods of engineering accuracy (grade 2 according to ISO 12001:1996) for determining sound power levels LW, expressed in decibels (dB) with reference to a sound power of one picowatt (1 pW), of airborne acoustical noise within the specified frequency range of interest (generally including the octave-bands with centre frequencies from 125 Hz to 8 000 Hz), and for prescribed operating conditions of the appliance to be measured.
