IEC 62841-4-2:2017 applies to hand-held hedge trimmers which are designed for use by one operator for trimming hedges and bushes, including extended-reach hedge trimmers with a maximum length of 3,5 m. The rated voltage is not more than 250 V for single-phase a.c. or d.c. tools, and 480 V for three-phase a.c. tools. The rated input is not more than 3 700 W. The limits for the applicability of this standard for battery tools are given in K.1 and L.1. This standard deals with the hazards presented by tools which are encountered by all persons in the normal use and reasonably foreseeable misuse of the tools. Hand-held electric tools, which can be mounted on a support or working stand for use as fixed tools without any alteration of the tool itself, are within the scope of this standard and such combination of a hand-held tool and a support is considered to be a transportable tool and thus covered by the relevant Part 3. This standard is not applicable to hedge trimmers with a rotating blade. This standard is not applicable to scissors type grass shears. This Part 4-2 is to be used in conjunction with the first edition of IEC 62841-1:2014. The attention of National Committees is drawn to the fact that equipment manufacturers and testing organizations may need a transitional period following publication of a new, amended or revised IEC publication in which to make products in accordance with the new requirements and to equip themselves for conducting new or revised tests. It is the recommendation of the committee that the content of this publication be adopted for implementation nationally not earlier than 36 months from the date of publication

Tools with electric heating elements are within the scope of this standard. Requirements for motors not isolated from the supply, and having basic insulation not designed for the rated voltage of the tools, are given in Annex B. Requirements for rechargeable battery-powered motor-operated or magnetically driven tools and the battery packs for such tools are given in Annex K. Requirements for such tools that are also operated and/or charged directly from the mains or a non-isolated source are given in Annex L. Hand-held electric tools, which can be mounted on a support or working stand for use as fixed tools without any alteration of the tool itself, are within the scope of this standard and such combination of a hand-held tool and a support is considered to be a transportable tool and thus covered by the relevant Part 3.

EN 50434 specifies safety requirements and their verification for the design and construction of hand fed, shredders/chippers with integral electric motor, not exceeding 250 V single phase, with or without vacuum assisted collection which are designed to reduce organic material to smaller pieces and are used in a stationary position by an operator standing on the ground. This standard applies to shredders/chippers with feed intake openings or segments, in this standard referred to as feed safety openings that in total will fit into a square of 250 mm x 250 mm. In this European Standard shredders and chippers are referred to collectively as machine(s). This European Standard does not cover requirements for - machines powered by combustion engines; NOTE 1 Combustion engine driven machines are covered by EN 13683. - machines driven by an external power source or by battery power; - machines with powered discharge intended to broadcast material or load vehicles; - machines with mechanically powered feed intake or attachments; - wood chippers for agricultural, lawn and park and forestry use; - machines powered from a 3 phase supply. This European Standard deals with all significant hazards presented by shredders/chippers when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable. EMC and environmental aspects, except noise, have not been considered in this European Standard. This European Standard is not applicable to machines which are manufactured before the date of publication of this document by CENELEC.

construction of electric powered walk-behind and hand-held lawn trimmers and lawn edge
trimmers, with cutting element(s) of non-metallic filament line or freely pivoting non-metallic
cutter(s), with a kinetic energy of not more than 10 J each, used by a standing operator for cutting
grass, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for a.c. or 75 V d.c..
NOTE 101 The method of calculating the kinetic energy for the purposes of this standard is given in 22.103.
In this European Standard, hand-held and walk-behind lawn trimmers and lawn edge trimmers are
referred to collectively as machine(s).
This European Standard does not apply to
− scissor type or lawn trimmers and lawn edge trimmers with cutting means other than those
described above;
− lawn trimmers and lawn edge trimmers with collecting devices;
− self-propelled lawn trimmers or lawn edge trimmers;
EMC and environmental aspects, except noise, have not been considered in this European Standard.
This European Standard does not apply to chargers as covered by EN 60335-2-29.
This European Standard does not apply to batteries as covered by EN 62133.
This European Standard deals with all the significant hazards presented by hand-held and walkbehind
lawn trimmers and lawn edge trimmers when they are used as intended and under
conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable.

This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following.
This European Standard specifies safety requirements and their verification for the design and
construction of pedestrian controlled walk-behind mains operated scarifiers and aerators, hereinafter
referred to as ‘machine(s)’, which are designed for re-generating lawns by, for instance, combing out
grass, thatch and moss or cutting vertically into the lawn face using tines which rotate about a
horizontal axis. This standard applies in conjunction with Part 1.
NOTE 1 Lawn scarifiers are also known as lawn rakes.
This European Standard does not apply to non-powered scarifiers and aerators, battery powered
scarifiers and aerators, vertical axis scarifiers and aerators or those aerators which cut into the soil by
means of a reciprocating motion and ride-on machines.
This European Standard does not apply to
– lawnmowers (EN 60335-2-77);
– lawn trimmers (EN 60335-2-91);
– lawn edge trimmers (EN 60335-2-91);
– lawn edgers, flail mowers, sickle-bar mowers or agricultural mowers.
This European Standard is not applicable to aerators/scarifiers which are manufactured before the
date of publication of this document.
This European Standard deals with all the significant hazards presented by pedestrian-controlled
lawn scarifiers and lawn aerators when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse
which are reasonably foreseeable.
