Overview

EN 61029-2-11:2012/A11:2013 is a CENELEC amendment to the European safety standard for transportable motor-operated electric tools, specifically Part 2-11: Particular requirements for combined mitre and bench saws. Prepared by CLC/TC 116, this amendment (A11) was approved in August 2013 and updates the original 2012 standard to clarify the required behaviour of the saw return device after specific safety testing.

Key topics and requirements

• Scope: Safety requirements for combined mitre and bench saws (transportable motor-operated electric tools).
• Amendment focus: Modification to clause 18.Z106 “Return device of the saw unit (mitre saw mode)”.
• Post-test operative condition: After completing the test specified in 18.Z106, the saw unit’s back stroke from the lowest to the upper position must not exceed 2 seconds.
• Mechanical integrity: The amendment requires that the entire mechanical system show no damage and work correctly after the test.
• Regulatory timeline: Latest date of implementation (DOP) was 2014-08-12; conflicting national standards were to be withdrawn by 2016-08-12.
• Standards context: This amendment modifies EN 61029-2-11:2012 and exists in official English, French and German versions; national translations notified to CEN‑CENELEC have equal status.

Applications

This amendment is essential for:

• Manufacturers of combined mitre and bench saws - to design return devices and mechanical systems that comply with the A11 requirement.
• Test laboratories and conformity assessors - to verify the saw unit’s back-stroke timing and post-test integrity per 18.Z106 and A11.
• Product safety engineers - to evaluate hazards related to saw-unit return mechanisms and ensure resilient mechanical design.
• Regulators and procurement officers - to reference the updated normative requirement when specifying compliant equipment for commercial or workshop use.

Practical value

• Ensures safer mitre-saw operation by setting a clear, measurable rebound/return performance limit (≤ 2 s), improving user protection during mitre-saw mode events.
• Reduces post-test equipment failure risks by mandating no mechanical damage and correct operation after testing, supporting reliability and maintenance planning.
• Provides a harmonized requirement across CENELEC member countries for consistent market access and conformity assessment.
