Safety of household and similar appliances - Part 2-77: Particular requirements for pedestrian-controlled walk-behind electrically powered lawn mowers

Deals with the safety of pedestrian controlled mains-operated electrical cylinder or rotary lawnmowers designed primarily for use around the home or for similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V single phase. It does not apply to lawn trimmers, lawn edge trimmers, lawn edgers, flail mowers, sickle-bar mowers, or agricultural mowers.

Varnost gospodinjskih in podobnih električnih aparatov - 2-77. del: Posebne zahteve za ročno vodene električne vrtne kosilnice (IEC 60335-2-77:2002, spremenjen)

Ta klavzula 1. dela je nadomeščena. Ta evropski standard določa varnostne zahteve in njihove potrditve za načrtovanje in gradnjo ročno vodenih električnih vrtnih kosilnic. Ta standard velja skupaj z EN 60335-1. Ta evropski standard ne velja za – obrezovalnike trave, obrezovalnike tratnih robov, izdelovalce tratnih robov, gonilnike mlatilcev, rezalnike grmičev, avtomatske (robotske) vrtne kosilnice, kosilce s srpom na drogu, poljedelske kosilce – rotacijske kosilce, za katere je sredstvo rezanja splošna osrednja rotacijska enota, na kateri so nameščeni ali en ali več nekovinskih vlaken ali en ali več nekovinskih rezalnih elementov, nameščenih na os. Ti rezalni elementi se zanašajo na centrifugalno silo, da dosežejo rezanje, s kinetično energijo enega rezalnega elementa, ki ne presega 10 J, - baterijsko gnane vrtne kosilnice z ocenjeno napetostjo baterije, večjo kot 42 V enosmernega toka. Zahteve za baterijske polnilce, vključno z vgrajenimi v stroj, so naslovljene z EN 60335-2-29. Ta evropski standard ne velja za vrtne kosilnice, proizvedene, preden je CENELEC objavil datum tega dokumenta.

This European Standard was approved by CENELEC on 2010-09-01. CENELEC members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration.
Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national standards may be obtained on application to the Central Secretariat or to any CENELEC member.
This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other language made by translation under the responsibility of a CENELEC member into its own language and notified to the Central Secretariat has the same status as the official versions.
CENELEC members are the national electrotechnical committees of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
Foreword The text of the International Standard IEC 60335-2-77:2002, prepared by SC 61F, Safety of hand-held motor-operated electric tools, of IEC TC 61, Safety of household and similar electrical appliances, together with the common modifications prepared by the Technical Committee CENELEC TC 61F, Safety of hand-held and transportable motor-operated electric tools, was submitted to the CENELEC formal vote and was approved as EN 60335-2-77 on 2010-09-01. This document supersedes EN 50338:2006 and EN 60335-2-77:2006. The text of EN 60335-2-77:2006 has been revised by CLC/TC 116/WG 5, Garden appliances, to add the mechanical requirements and bring this standard in line with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. Additionally the safety requirements for battery powered lawnmowers have been included to replace EN 50338:2006; therefore the title is renamed.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. The following dates were fixed: – latest date by which the EN has to be implemented at national level by publication of an identical national standard or by endorsement

2013-09-01 This Part 2-77 is to be used in conjunction with EN 60335-1. This Part 2-77 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses of EN 60335-1, so as to convert it into the European Standard: Particular requirements for pedestrian-controlled walk-behind electrically powered lawn mowers. When a particular subclause of Part 1 is not mentioned in this Part 2-77, that subclause applies as far as is reasonable. When this standard states “addition”, “modification” or “replacement”, the relevant text of Part 1 is to be adapted accordingly. This European Standard has been prepared under Mandate M/396 given to CENELEC by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association and covers essential requirements of EU Directive 2006/42/EC. See Annex ZZ. There are no special national conditions causing a deviation from this European Standard, other than those listed in Annex ZA to EN 60335-1. There are no national deviations from this European Standard, other than those listed in Annex ZB to EN 60335-1. Other harmonised standards referred to in this European Standard are listed in Annex ZC of Part 1 and this Part 2. The annex lists the valid edition of those documents at the time of issue of this EN. All references are however to be understood as references to the latest edition. SIST EN 60335-2-77:2010
