IEC 60879:2019规定了家用和类似用途的舒适风扇和调节器的性能测量方法，包括常规风扇、塔式风扇和无叶风扇，其额定电压对于单相风扇不超过250 V，对于其他风扇不超过480 V，并且其额定功率输入小于125 W。 根据测试方法，舒适风扇分为两组: -落地扇、台扇、壁扇、卢浮宫扇、塔式扇、无叶扇； -吊扇。 在适用的情况下，本文件中使用的术语“风扇”包括其相关联的调节器(如果有的话)。 本文件不适用于: -家用和类似用途电风扇的安全（IEC 60335-2-80）； -换气扇的性能（IEC 60665）； -风扇的电磁兼容性（CISPR 14-1和CISPR 14-2、IEC 61000-3-2、IEC 61000-3-3)。 这第二版取消并取代了1986年出版的第一版。本版构成技术修订版。 与上一版相比，此版本包括以下重大技术变更: a)对风扇的定义进行了修订； b)对不同类型风扇的测试方法进行了修订，以允许使用现代测试仪器； c)介绍了声学噪声测量和待机功率测量方法。

IEC 60879:2019 specifies the performance-measuring methods of comfort fans and regulators for household and similar purposes, including conventional fans, tower fans and bladeless fans, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase fans and 480 V for other fans, and their rated power input being less than 125 W.
According to the testing method, the comfort fans are classified into two groups:
– pedestal fans, table fans, wall fans, louvre fans, tower fans, bladeless fans;
– ceiling fans.
Wherever applicable, the term "fan" used in this document includes its associated regulator, if any.
This document does not apply to:
– safety of electric fans for household and similar purposes (IEC 60335-2-80);
– performance of ventilating fans (IEC 60665);
– electromagnetic compatibility of fans (CISPR 14-1 and CISPR 14-2, IEC 61000-3-2, IEC 61000-3-3).
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1986. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) the definitions of fans have been revised;
b) the test methods for the different types of fans have been revised to allow modern test instrumentation to be used;
c) acoustic noise measurement and standby power measurement methods have been introduced.
