EN 62841-3-12:2019/A11:2026 is a CENELEC amendment to the European safety standard for transportable threading machines. It updates the Part 3-12 requirements for electric motor-operated hand-held tools, transportable tools and lawn and garden machinery, mainly by revising normative references, terminology, electrical test data, supply-cord requirements, and the annexes used for European references and EU conformity mapping.
Manufacturers, test laboratories, quality teams and conformity-assessment bodies use it when checking design details and evidence for these machines.
What does EN 62841-3-12:2019/A11:2026 specify?
EN 62841-3-12:2019/A11:2026 specifies amendments to EN 62841-3-12:2019 for transportable threading machines. It keeps the same subject matter as Part 3-12 and changes selected clauses and annexes that affect testing, reference documents and regulatory linkage.
The amendment applies to these parts of the document:
| Annex or clause | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Clause 2 | Normative references |
| Clause 3 | Terms and definitions |
| Clause 11 | Input and current |
| Clause 24 | Supply connection and external flexible cords |
| Annex ZA | Normative references to international publications with corresponding European publications |
| Annex ZZ | Relationship between the standard and Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 |
In practice, this is an update document for users of the base standard, not a separate product standard. It is used together with the underlying Part 3-12 text when checking safety and conformity for transportable threading machines.
What are the key requirements of EN 62841-3-12:2019/A11:2026?
EN 62841-3-12:2019/A11:2026 changes the technical points that matter most for compliance checking and testing. The main updates are in the electrical input/current tests, the cord requirement, and the annexes that link the standard to other publications and to EU machinery law.
Clause 2 - normative references
EN 62841-3-12:2019/A11:2026 deletes one normative reference, ANSI/ASME B1.20.2M:2006. In practice, users need to work only with the remaining references listed for this standard and its linked Part 1 text.
Clause 3 - terms and definitions
EN 62841-3-12:2019/A11:2026 deletes definition 3.103. That means the terminology set for the standard is updated, so technical documentation and test reports should follow the revised wording of the base standard.
Clause 11 - input and current
EN 62841-3-12:2019/A11:2026 replaces Table 101 for load torque for ISO style threads. This matters because the test or calculation conditions for input and current depend on the thread size and the associated load torque values in the updated table.
Clause 24 - supply connection and external flexible cords
EN 62841-3-12:2019/A11:2026 replaces 24.4 with a requirement for supply cords to be at least polychloroprene or another equivalent synthetic elastomer sheathed cable, with code designation 60245 IEC 57 or H05RN-F. In practice, this points procurement and design teams to a specific cable type for robustness in use.
Annex ZA and Annex ZZ
EN 62841-3-12:2019/A11:2026 replaces Annex ZA with the European reference list and replaces Annex ZZ with the relationship to Regulation (EU) 2023/1230. Annex ZZ links clauses of the standard to essential requirements, which is the basis for using the standard as one route to support conformity claims when it is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union.
What terms does EN 62841-3-12:2019/A11:2026 define?
- Transportable threading machines - machines covered by Part 3-12 for making threads in a transportable form.
- Normative reference - another publication whose content is used as requirements within the standard.
- Load torque - the torque used in Table 101 to set test conditions for ISO style threads.
- ISO style threads - thread sizes covered by the updated load-torque table.
- Supply cord - the flexible cord used to connect the machine to the supply.
- Polychloroprene - a synthetic elastomer used as the specified sheath material for the cord.
- Presumption of conformity - the regulatory effect described in Annex ZZ when the standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union.
Who uses EN 62841-3-12:2019/A11:2026?
Manufacturers of transportable threading machines use EN 62841-3-12:2019/A11:2026 to update design choices, cable selection and technical files. Test laboratories use it for electrical checks and the load-torque conditions tied to ISO style threads.
Quality managers, compliance engineers and certification bodies use it to review whether products and test evidence match the current European text. Buyers and specifiers use it when they need to compare supplier documentation for transportable threading machines against the applicable safety standard.
What changed in EN 62841-3-12:2019/A11:2026 from the previous edition?
EN 62841-3-12:2019/A11:2026 amends EN 62841-3-12:2019/A1:2026. It updates Clause 2, Clause 3, Clause 11 and Clause 24, and replaces Annex ZA and Annex ZZ.
Which standards are used with EN 62841-3-12:2019/A11:2026?
- EN 62841-1:2015/A11:2022 - the Part 1 base text that Annex ZA of this part builds on for general safety requirements.
- IEC 60947-5-1:2017 + AC:2020-05 - adds the European reference for low-voltage switchgear and controlgear control circuit devices and switching elements.
- ISO 7-1:1994 - provides the pipe-thread dimensions, tolerances and designation used in the reference list.
- Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 - the machinery regulation mapped in Annex ZZ for conformity purposes.
What does the EN 62841-3-12:2019/A11:2026 document contain?
EN 62841-3-12:2019/A11:2026 is a targeted amendment package. It contains the revised Table 101 for load torque, the updated cord requirement in Clause 24, and the replacement text for Annex ZA and Annex ZZ.
It also shows where the modified clauses sit within the standard through its contents list. For practical work, users apply it to update test methods, product specifications, technical files and conformity mapping for transportable threading machines.
