GB/T 20292-2006 in English

《GB/T 20292-2006家用滚筒干衣机性能测试方法》由TC46（全国家用电器标准化技术委员会）归口，主管部门为中国轻工业联合会。
本标准适用于带有和不带有冷水水源和加热件的、自动或非自动式家用电动滚筒干衣机，规定和定义了用户使用的家用滚筒干衣机的主要性能特性及试验方法。

1 Scope

This standard is applicable to household electric tumble dryers of the automatic and non-automatic type, with or without a cold water supply and incorporating a heating device.
This standard specifies and defines the principal performance characteristics of household electric tumble dryers of interest to users and the methods for measuring these characteristics.
This standard is concerned neither with safety nor with performance requirements.

3 Definitions and Symbols

For the purposes of this standard, the following terms, definitions and symbols apply.
3.1
Tumble dryer
Appliance in which textile material is dried by tumbling in a rotating drum, through which heated air is passed.
3.2
Air vented tumble dryer
Tumble dryer with a fresh-air intake which is heated and passed over the textile material and where the resulting moist air is exhausted into the room or vented outside.
3.3
Condenser tumble dryer
Tumble dryer in which the air used for the drying process is dehumidified by cooling.
Note: Combinations of the above-mentioned types are possible.
3.4
Automatic tumble dryer
Tumble dryer which switches off the drying process when a certain moisture content of the load is reached.
Note: This may include conductivity or temperature sensing.
3.5
Non-automatic tumble dryer
Tumble dryer which does not switch off the drying process when a certain moisture content of the load is reached, usually controlled by a timer, but may also be manually controlled.
3.6
Pre-treatment
Successive washing, rinsing, spinning and drying of a new test load prior to its first use to avoid rapid changes of characteristics during the tests.
