What is BS EN 15429-2- Performance requirements and test methods for sweepers about?  
BS EN 15429-2 is a European Standard that contains guidelines for the performance requirements and various sweeper test methods.
BS EN 15429-2 applies to surface cleaning machines for outdoor applications in public areas, roads, airports and industrial complexes. Cleaning machines for winter maintenance and/or indoor applications are not included within the scope of BS EN 15429-2.
Surface cleaning machines in terms of BS EN 15429-2, are self-propelled, truck mounted, attached sweeping equipment or pedestrian controlled.
BS EN 15429-2 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.
Who is BS EN 15429-2 - Performance requirements and test methods for sweepers for? 
BS EN 15429-2 on performance requirements and test methods for sweepers is useful for: 
- Sweeper Manufacturers
- Manufacturers of sweepers and equipment
- Manufacturers of cleaning machines
- Municipality cleaning authorities
Why should you use BS EN 15429-2 - Performance requirements and test methods for sweepers?  
Sweepers use pneumatic means to collect and transport swept debris to the collection hopper require sufficient air velocity within the duct communicating with the pick-up device and hopper for satisfactory conveyance. Sweepers, are designed to clean paved surfaces of varying textures associated with areas exposed to vehicular traffic, pedestrians and those within industrial complexes. Since the dust particles present in roads contain harmful partiulate matters, it my cause respiratory issues.
BS EN 15429-2 provides functional characteristics and the test methods that shall be followed while manufacturing of sweeper. This can help to check the efficiency of the sweepers, before presenting them in the market.
BS EN 15429-2 assures the efficiency of the sweepers and makes it credible to the public and users.
