This clause of Part 1 is applicable except as follows.

1.1 Scope

1.1.1 General

Addition:

These particular requirements apply to single unit electric tumble dryers for household and similar use intended for placing on the floor against a wall, for building-in or placing under a counter, a kitchen worktop or under a sink, for wall-mounting or on a counter. For the purpose of this standard, washer-dryer combinations, when operated as a dryer, are considered as a tumble dryer.

NOTE 101 For washing function, see IEC 60704-2-4.

This standard is also applicable for gas-fired electric tumble dryers.

1.1.2 Types of noise

Replacement:

The methods specified in ISO 3743-1, ISO 3743-2 and ISO 3744 can be used for measuring noise emitted by tumble dryers.

1.1.3 Size of the source

Replacement:

The method specified in ISO 3744 is applicable to noise sources of any size. When applying ISO 3743-1 and ISO 3743-2, care should be taken that the maximum size of the appliance under test fulfils the requirements specified in 1.3 of ISO 3743-1 and ISO 3743-2.
