Electric motor-operated tools - Dust measurement procedure - Part 3-1: Particular requirements for transportable table saws

This European Standard specifies general requirements for the dust measurement of electric motor-operated tools supplied from mains or from batteries. This European Standard applies to those tools with and without dust extraction unit where dust such as mineral dust containing silica or wood dust is expected. This part of EN 50632 sets particular requirements for transportable table saws.

Overview

EN 50632-3-1:2016/A1:2021 is a CLC/CENELEC amendment specifying particular requirements for dust measurement on transportable table saws. It is part of the EN 50632 series on the dust measurement procedure for electric motor-operated tools (mains or battery powered). This amendment (A1, 2021) updates the original Part 3‑1 (2016) and is intended to be used together with EN 50632‑1:2015.

Keywords: EN 50632-3-1:2016/A1:2021, transportable table saws, dust measurement procedure, electric motor-operated tools, dust extraction, silica, wood dust.

Key Topics

• Scope and tool types: Applies to transportable table saws with or without dust extraction where mineral dust (including silica) or wood dust is expected.
• Test material and setup: Uses chipboard P2 per EN 312:2010 - density (610 ± 60) kg/m³, thickness (19 ± 1) mm, length (800 ± 2) mm; saws either on a working stand or a test bench set to the specified vertical distance from dust samplers.
• Cutting operation: Tests involve sawing approximately 10 mm wide strips using a rip fence over 800 mm length.
• Tool conditions: New saw blade as recommended by the manufacturer; speed settings adjusted for chipboard cutting; cutting depth (22 ± 1) mm where achievable.
• Feed and performance: Feed force must ensure stable operation and good performance without excessive force or speed.
• Test cycles and timing:
  • Transportable table saws rated up to and including 2.5 kW: 20 cuts per test cycle.
  • Rated above 2.5 kW: 30 cuts per test cycle.
  • Typical target: 20 cuts in 10 min (2.0 m/min) or 30 cuts in 10 min (2.8 m/min); time may be extended to achieve required cuts.

Applications

This standard is practical for:

• Manufacturers validating dust emissions, dust extraction designs and documenting compliance with dust measurement procedures.
• Independent test laboratories performing standardized dust sampling and reporting for transportable table saws.
• Product development and R&D teams optimizing blade, feed, and extraction settings to reduce hazardous dust (including silica and wood dust).
• Health & safety officers, procurement specialists and certification bodies assessing tool performance for safer workplace use.

Practical uses include performance benchmarking, improving onboard dust extraction systems, and providing consistent test data for specification and procurement.

Related Standards (if applicable)

• EN 50632‑1:2015 - general dust measurement procedure for electric motor-operated tools (to be used in conjunction).
• EN 312:2010 - specification for chipboard (P2) used as test material.
• CLC/TC 116 publications - safety and environmental aspects of motor-operated electric tools.

For manufacturers and testing professionals, EN 50632-3-1:2016/A1:2021 provides clear, harmonized test conditions to measure and compare dust emissions from transportable table saws.
