BS ISO 9398-4:2003

Specifications for industrial laundry machines. Definitions and testing of capacity and consumption characteristics. Washer-extractors | Status: Superseded, Withdrawn

1 Scope This part of ISO 9398 defines the characteristics of washer-extractors and gives the usual test methods for these characteristics with regard to machine capacity, power and water consumption, and hourly productivity. It is applicable for use as a reference in the drafting of purchasing orders for washer-extractors whose net usable cage volume is greater than 60 dm3 (litres). It does not cover safety requirements (see ISO 10472-2).

NOTE If more detailed information on the effect of laundry machines on textiles is required, see ISO 7772 after agreement between the parties involved.
