Varnost gospodinjskih in podobnih električnih aparatov - 2-107. del: Posebne zahteve za baterijske robotsko vodene električne vrtne kosilnice
Standard IEC 60335-2-107:2012 obravnava varnost baterijskih robotsko vodenih električnih rotacijskih vrtnih kosilnic z nazivno enosmerno napetostjo baterije največ 75 V ter električnim in/ali solarnim napajanjem. Ta mednarodni standard se ne uporablja za stroje, ki niso vodeni robotsko, kot so motorne kose za trate, motorne kose za robove trat, izdelovalci tratnih robov, vrtne kosilnice za košnjo v sedečem položaju ali vrtne kosilnice, ki se upravljajo v stoje. Ta standard se ne uporablja za elektromagnetno združljivost in okoljske nevarnosti (razen hrupa). Ta standard obravnava splošne nevarnosti, ki jih predstavljajo baterijske robotsko vodene vrtne kosilnice za uporabo v okolici doma ali za podobne namene. Zahteve za baterije so obravnavane v standardu IEC 62133. Ta mednarodni standard se ne uporablja za stroje, izdelane pred datumom, ko je IEC objavil ta dokument.

2017-12-01 Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CENELEC by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directives. For the relationship with EU Directive 2006/42/EC, see informative Annex ZZ, which is an integral part of this document. The text of IEC 60335-2-107:2012 has been revised by CLC/TC 116/WG 5, "Garden appliances", to bring this European Standard in line with the European Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. This document was submitted to the UAP under the reference FprEN 60335-2-107:2013. CLC/TC 116 confirmed that EN 60335-1:2012 is Part 1 of this document.
This European Standard is to be used in conjunction with EN 60335-1:2012 “Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety – Part 1: General requirements” and its amendments. When “Part 1” is mentioned in this standard, it refers to EN 60335-1:2012. This European Standard supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in Part 1, so as to convert that publication into the European Standard “Particular requirements for robotic battery powered electrical lawnmowers”. Where a particular subclause of Part 1 is not mentioned in this European Standard, that subclause applies as far as is relevant. Where this standard states “addition”, “modification” or “replacement”, the relevant text in Part 1 is to be adapted accordingly. Compliance with the relevant clauses of Part 1 together with this European Standard provides one means of conforming to the specified essential health and safety requirements of the Directive concerned. This European Standard follows the overall requirements of EN ISO 12100:2010. Warning: Other requirements arising from other EU Directives can be applicable to the products falling within the scope of this European Standard. The following numbering system is used: – subclauses that are numbered starting from 101 are additional to those in Part 1; – additional annexes are lettered AA, BB, etc. NOTE In this European Standard the following print types are used:
- requirements proper: in Roman type;
- 5 - EN 50636-2-107:2015 - test specifications: in italic type;
- explanatory matter: in smaller Roman type. Words in bold in the text are defined in Clause 3. When a definition concerns an adjective, the adjective and the associated noun are also in bold.
