Foreword
The text of the International Standard IEC 60745-2-16:2008, prepared by TC 116, Safety of hand-held
motor-operated electric tools, together with common modifications prepared by the Technical Committee
CENELEC TC 116, Safety of motor-operated electric tools, was submitted to the formal vote and was
approved by CENELEC as EN 60745-2-16 on 2010-10-01.
These common modifications are proposed to bring the European Standard in line with the essential
health and safety requirements of the Machinery Directive.
This European Standard supersedes EN 50144-2-16:2003.
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
(dop) 2011-10-01
national standard or by endorsement
– latest date by which the national standards conflicting
(dow) 2013-10-01
with the EN have to be withdrawn
Other standards referred to in this European Standard are listed in Clause 2. Clause 2 lists the valid
edition of those documents at the time of issue of this EN.
This standard is divided into two parts:
Part 1: General requirements which are common to most hand-held electric motor operated tools (for the
purpose of this standard referred to simply as tools) which could come within the scope of this
standard;
Part 2: Requirements for particular types of tools which either supplement or modify the requirements
given in Part 1 to account for the particular hazards and characteristics of these specific tools.
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
EC Directive 2006/42/EC. See Annex ZZ.
Compliance with the clauses of Part 1 together with this Part 2 provides one means of conforming with
the essential health and safety requirements of the Directive concerned.
Warning: Other requirements and other EC Directives can be applicable to the products falling
within the scope of this standard.
This standard follows the overall requirements of EN ISO 12100-1 and EN ISO 12100-2.
This Part 2-16 is to be used in conjunction with EN 60745-1. When this standard states "addition",
"modification" or "replacement", the relevant text in Part 1 is to be adapted accordingly.
Subclauses and figures which are additional to those in Part 1 are numbered starting from 101.
Subclauses, tables and figures which are additional to those in IEC 60745-2-16 are prefixed “Z”.
NOTE In this standard the following print types are used:
- requirements proper; in roman type
- test specifications: in italic type;
- explanatory matter: in smaller roman type.

6 Environmental requirements
This clause of Part 1 is applicable except as follows:

Modification:
All sound pressure levels and sound power levels in 6.1 shall be regarded and measured as single event
sound pressure levels and single event sound power levels, normalized to 1 s.
6.1.2.4 Installation and mounting conditions of the power tools during noise tests
Modification:
Measurement shall be carried out on a new, properly serviced and lubricated tool observing the
conditions shown in Table Z101.
Tackers which are equipped with an impact force adjustment, shall be adjusted to ensure that
- staples are driven tight or flush with surface,
- nails and pins/brads are driven flush with the surface or countersunk up to 1,0 mm.
Either single actuation or contact actuation shall be chosen.
NOTE A single-actuation system is one in which the trigger needs to be actuated for each driving event.

Table Z101 — Operating conditions for tackers
Orientation The tacker shall be held in the hand driving downwards, the muzzle of the tool
in contact with the work piece.
During the test, the power tool shall be arranged so that the operator can have
an upright, or almost upright, posture and work with his forearm and upper arm
at an angle between 100° and 160°. The operator shall be able to hold the
power tool comfortable during the test, see Figure Z101.
The surface of the work piece shall be arranged so that the geometric centre of
the power tool is positioned approximately 1,0 m above the floor, see
Figure Z102.
Work piece The work piece shall be sawn pinewood, free of knots and with a straight grain.
3 3
The average bulk density shall be in the range of 0,42 g/cm to 0,48 g/cm and
the average wood humidity shall be 12 % ± 3 %.
The thickness of the work piece shall be at least 1,2 times the length of the
longest fastener used. The position of insertion shall be at least 50 mm from the
lateral surfaces of the work piece.
The work piece shall be supported by a bed of dry sand with the grain of the
wood in a horizontal position and so that the surface of the work piece is
levelled with the top of the sand. The sand bed shall be of a size of at least
600 mm x 600 mm with a minimum height of 400 mm. The work piece shall be
surrounded at all lateral surfaces by a sand layer at least 120 mm wide.
Tool bit Tackers shall be operated with the largest fasteners intended for the tool.
Force A vertical force shall be applied, just enough to prevent tool movement caused
by bumping.
6.1.2.5 Operating conditions
Replacement of paragraphs 3 to 8:
Tackers are tested for five consecutive driving processes observing the conditions shown in Table Z101,
with one driving process per measurement time of 1 s.
6.2 Vibration
6.2.2 Vibration measurement - General
Replacement:
This part specifies a laboratory method for measuring the single-event vibration at the handle where a
single event is a mechanical shock or a series of individual shocks at intervals longer than 0,2 s. It is a
type test procedure for establishing the vibration value in the handle of a hand-held power tool operating
under specified load.
The time-averaged root-mean-square (r.m.s.) acceleration shall be measured with EN 28662-1 presented
as a weighted acceleration with 3.3 of EN 28662-1, and normalized to one operation every 3 s.
6.2.4.1 Direction of measurement
Replacement:
These tools do not produce continuous vibration, but single event axis shocks: These single events at the
handle are measured in the shock axis only.
NOTE  Single shocks are a short burst of vibration, CEN ISO/TS 15694.

- 5 - EN 60745-2-16:2010
6.2.4.2 Location of measurement
Modification:
Measurement shall be made in a direction parallel with the driving direction, normally the z-direction, see
Figure Z103.
Measurements shall be carried out on the handle from which the power tool is triggered, where the
operator normally holds his hand.
The transducer shall be mounted as close as possible to the gripping area and be parallel to the driving
direction, see Figure Z103.
6.2.4.3 Magnitude of vibration
Paragraphs 5 and 6 are not applicable.
6.2.4.4 Combination of vibration directions
This subclause is not applicable.
6.2.5.2.2 Fastening of transducers
Addition:
The transducer shall only be fastened by glueing.
6.2.6.3 Operating conditions
Modification:
The operating conditions shall be as specified in 6.1.2.5.
One test cycle is given by operating the fastener tool 10 times within a period of 30 s. The time-averaged
vibration, a , is measured during this time. The result is equivalent to the mean value (of 10) of the time-
h w
averaged weighted acceleration normalized to one operation every 3 s, a .
h,w,3s
6.2.7.1 Reported vibration value
Paragraph 2 is not applicable.
6.2.7.2 Declaration of the vibration total value
Modification:
The vibration value determined is considered to be the vibration total value and shall be declared as
follows:
Vibration total value determined according to EN 60745:
Vibration emission value a = . m/s²
h
Uncertainty K = … m/s²
