11 AMENDMENT 1
13 FOREWORD
14 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
15 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
16 co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
17 in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
18 Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC Publication(s)"). Their
19 preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
20 may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
21 with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
22 Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
23 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
24 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
25 interested IEC National Committees.
26 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
27 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
28 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
29 misinterpretation by any end user.
30 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
31 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
32 any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
33 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
34 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
35 services carried out by independent certification bodies.
36 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
37 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
38 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
39 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
40 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
41 Publications.
42 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
43 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
44 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
45 rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
46 Amendment 1 to IEC 62841-4-3:2020 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 116:
47 Safety of motor-operated electric tools.
48 The text of this Amendment is based on the following documents:
Draft Report on voting
116/XX/XXXX 116/XX/XXX
50 Full information on the voting for its approval can be found in the report on voting indicated in
51 the above table.
52 The language used for the development of this Amendment is English.

53 This document was drafted in accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2, and developed in
54 accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1 and ISO/IEC Directives, IEC Supplement, available
55 at www.iec.ch/members_experts/refdocs. The main document types developed by IEC are
56 described in greater detail at www.iec.ch/publications/.
57 A list of all parts of the IEC 62841 series, under the general title: Electric motor-operated hand-
58 held tools, transportable tools and lawn and garden machinery – Safety, can be found on the
59 IEC website.
60 The committee has decided that the contents of this document will remain unchanged until the
61 stability date indicated on the IEC website under webstore.iec.ch in the data related to the
62 specific document. At this date, the document will be
63 • reconfirmed,
64 • withdrawn, or
65 • revised.
66 NOTE The attention of National Committees is drawn to the fact that equipment manufacturers and testing
67 organizations may need a transitional period following publication of a new, amended or revised IEC publication in
68 which to make products in accordance with the new requirements and to equip themselves for conducting new or
69 revised tests.
70 It is the recommendation of the committee that the content of this publication be adopted for implementation nationally
71 not earlier than 36 months from the date of publication.
