About This Item
IEC 60704-2-4:2025 defines the particular requirements for determining airborne acoustical noise of washing machines and spin extractors. For engineering teams, test laboratories, and procurement or compliance reviewers, it provides a focused technical reference for evaluating noise-related performance in a consistent way. Using IEC 60704-2-4:2025 during product evaluation can support more reliable comparison of results, clearer technical documentation, and better alignment between design verification activities and conformity assessment workflows.
Overview of IEC 60704-2-4:2025
This edition of
IEC 60704-2-4:2025
is part of the IEC 60704 test code series and is intended to guide noise measurement for washing machines and spin extractors under defined conditions. Its role is typically to support technical assessment, laboratory evaluation, and documented evaluation of airborne acoustical noise in a way that is suitable for product development and compliance review. The document is especially relevant where consistent test methods are needed for engineering documentation, quality workflows, and comparative product validation.Compliance applications of IEC 60704-2-4:2025
IEC 60704-2-4:2025 is commonly used in testing workflows for household appliance manufacturers, test houses, and conformity assessment teams working on laundry equipment. It may be referenced when preparing technical files, planning verification activities, or checking whether a washing machine or spin extractor meets internal noise targets and external regulatory preparation needs. The standard can also support procurement reviews and supplier comparison by giving stakeholders a shared compliance reference for acoustical noise measurement and reporting.
Importance of compliance with IEC 60704-2-4:2025
Following IEC 60704-2-4:2025 can help improve consistency in noise testing, reduce ambiguity in engineering specification reviews, and strengthen confidence in product evaluation results. For organizations managing technical compliance, it supports risk management by making measurement practices more comparable across laboratories and product lines. It is also useful in quality assurance and conformity assessment preparation, where repeatable methods can reduce rework, clarify acceptance criteria, and improve the credibility of documented technical validation.
