Overview

EN 50632-2-11:2016 (CLC) is the European standard that defines the dust measurement procedure for jig and sabre saws, a Part 2 document to be used in conjunction with EN 50632-1:2015. It sets out particular requirements for measuring dust emission - specifically the concentration of inhalable and respirable dust - from hand-held motor-operated electric tools (jig saws and sabre/saber saws) during sawing of wood-based materials.

Key topics and requirements

• Scope and relationship: This Part 2 supplements or modifies EN 50632-1:2015 and is applicable only to jig saws and sabre saws.
• Target dust metrics: Measurement of concentrations for inhalable and respirable dust emitted during operation.
• Test material: Chipboard P2 in accordance with EN 312:2010. Specified properties:
  • Density: (610 ± 60) kg/m³
  • Thickness: (19 ± 1) mm
  • Width: (400 ± 2) mm
• Test setup and orientation: Chipboard mounted horizontally on a bench (~900 mm working height). Sawing of approximately 10 mm wide strips across the 400 mm width.
• Tool and settings: Use a new saw blade specified by the manufacturer for chipboard. Speed and pendulum settings set as specified (pendulum set to maximum if present). Feed force must ensure stable operation and good performance.
• Test cycle: Each test cycle performs 20 cuts distributed equally over working time. Typical target is 20 cuts in 10 minutes (≈1.0 m/min cutting speed); extend cycle time if 20 strips cannot be achieved within 10 minutes.
• Instrumentation and reporting: Instrumentation requirements revert to Part 1. Reporting shall follow Part 1, with a modification to include information about any extension of cycle time when 20 strips are not achieved within 10 minutes.

Applications and who uses it

• Manufacturers of jig saws and sabre saws for product design, safety claims, and compliance testing.
• Independent test laboratories performing standardized dust emission measurements.
• Occupational health and safety professionals assessing tool-related exposure to wood dust.
• Regulatory bodies and conformity assessors verifying compliance with European electrotechnical standards.
• Product developers aiming to reduce dust emission and improve dust extraction or mitigation solutions.

Related standards
