4.3.2.1 Average Specific Energy Consumption (ASE) 
The average specific energy consumption during the carpet cleaning  test (ASEc) and during the ha rd floor cleaning test (ASEhf) is determined 
as the average energy consumption (SE) within the number of clea ning cycles which constitute the ca rpet and hard floor test res pectively. The 
general equation of energy consumption (SE) wi th cleaning area test in watts / square meter with an accuracy  equivalent to 3 de cimal places (3 
decimal places) applies to carp ets, hard floors and general ­use vacuum cleaners as follows:

whereas: 
P: Average power in watts with an accuracy  of 2 decimal places during cleaning time when the cleaning head is moved in the test  area. 
NP: Average power in watts with an accura cy of 2 decimal places with battery powere d hoses, if found in the vacuum cleaner. 
T: Total time in hours with an accuracy of 4 decimal places duri ng the cleaning cycle and during the period when the cleaning h ead is in the 
center i.e. the point is between the side, front and back of th e edges of the cleaning head and moves into the test area. 
A: The cleaning surface is in square meters, with an accuracy  of 2 decimal places and passes over the cleaning head during the cleaning period 
and is calculated on the basis of 10 times the product according to the width of the head and th e appropriate length of the tes t area. If the width 
of the cleaning head is more than 0.320 m, then the figure 0. 320 m will replace the width of the cleaning head in this equation .

For hard floor testing, the criteria (hf), (NPhf), (Ehf) and (tbathf) are used in the above equation. 
For carpet testing, (t), criter ia (NPc), (Ec) and (tbatc) are used in the ab ove equation. In all cleaning sessions the values ( Ehf), (tbathf), / or 
(Ec) and (tbatc) are used as applicable and included in the technical documents. 
4.3.3. Dust extraction 
Dust extraction from the hard floor (dpuhf) is determined as an average of the result s in the two cleaning cycles of the hard f loor test.
