Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-107: Particular requirements for robotic battery powered electrical lawnmowers

IEC 60335-2-107:2017 specifies safety requirements and their verification for the design and construction of robotic battery powered electrical rotary lawnmowers and their peripherals with the rated voltage of the battery being not more than 75 V d.c.
EMC and environmental aspects, except noise, have not been considered in this standard.
This document does not apply to the additional risks associated with internal combustion engine(s), hybrid and fuel cell powered machines and associated charging systems.
This document deals with all the significant hazards presented by battery powered robotic lawnmowers and their peripherals when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable.
Throughout this document, the term machine is used to refer to the robotic lawnmower, separate from its charging station.
This document also provides requirements for the safety of mains powered charging stations and signal sources for perimeter delimiters.
Additional battery operation and charging requirements for robotic lawnmowers, including the charging of lithium ion batteries, are specified in Annex KK which replaces Annexes B and S (except for requirements for non-rechargeable batteries) of Part 1.
This document is not applicable to machines which are manufactured before the date of publication of this document by IEC.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2012. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- Clause 7: Markings and instructions, new requirements for markings, warnings and the instruction manual;
- Clause 8: Protection against access to live parts, new requirements for protection against electric shock for hazardous battery voltages;
- Clause 20: Stability and mechanical hazards, revised requirements for manual controller, manual stop, cutting means stopping time, traction drive stopping and restart procedures, as well as a new standing child foot probe test;
- Clause 22: Construction, revised requirements for disabling devices, working area, perimeter delimiter, sensors and manual controller, as well as new requirements for machine connectors used for charging and contact surfaces used as obstruction sensing devices;
- Clause 24: Components, revised requirements for switches and
- Clause 29: Clearances, creepage distances and solid insulation, revised requirements for the machine and non-mains-powered peripherals.
This standard series is a product family standard series dealing with the safety of appliances and takes precedence over horizontal and generic standards covering the same subject.
This publication is to be used in conjunction with the fifth edition (2010) of IEC 60335-1 and its amendments.

Appareils électrodomestiques et analogues - Sécurité - Partie 2-107: Exigences particulières relatives aux tondeuses à gazon électriques robotisées alimentées par batterie

IEC 60335-2-107:2017 spécifie les exigences de sécurité et leur vérification concernant la conception et la construction des tondeuses à gazon robotisées à axe vertical alimentées par batterie et leurs périphériques, la tension assignée maximale de la batterie ne dépassant pas 75 V en courant continu.
La CEM et les aspects environnementaux, à l’exception du bruit, ne sont pas pris en compte dans la présente norme.
Le présent document ne s’applique pas aux risques supplémentaires associés aux moteurs à combustion interne, aux machines hybrides et alimentées par piles à combustible et aux systèmes de charge associés.
Le présent document traite de tous les dangers significatifs présentés par les tondeuses à gazon robotisées alimentées par batterie et leurs périphériques, lorsqu'ils sont utilisés comme prévu et dans des conditions de mauvais usage raisonnablement prévisible.
Dans le présent document, le terme machine se réfère à la tondeuse à gazon robotisée, séparée de son poste de charge.
La présente norme fournit également les exigences relatives à la sécurité des postes de charge alimentés par le secteur et aux sources de signaux des délimiteurs de périmètre.
Les exigences supplémentaires concernant le fonctionnement et le chargement de la batterie des tondeuses à gazon robotisées, y compris le chargement des batteries ion-lithium, sont spécifiées à l’Annexe KK qui remplace les Annexes B et S (sauf pour les exigences des batteries non rechargeables) de la Partie 1.
Le présent document n’est pas applicable aux machines qui sont fabriquées avant la date de publication de ce document par l’IEC.
Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2012. Cette édition constitue une révision technique.
Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
- Article 7: Marquage et instructions, nouvelles exigences de marquage, mises en garde et mode d’emploi;
- Article 8: Protection contre l’accès aux parties actives, nouvelles exigences relatives à la protection contre les chocs électriques des tensions de batterie dangereuses;
- Article 20: Stabilité et dangers mécaniques, exigences révisées pour le système de commande manuelle, la commande d’arrêt manuel, le temps d'arrêt de l’organe de coupe, les procédures d’arrêt et de redémarrage du dispositif de transmission, ainsi qu’un nouvel essai au pied d’essai pour un enfant debout;
- Article 22: Construction, exigences révisées pour les dispositifs de mise hors fonctionnement, les zones de travail, les délimiteurs de périmètre, les capteurs et système de commande manuelle ainsi que de nouvelles exigences pour les connecteurs des machines utilisées pour le chargement et pour les surfaces de contact utilisées comme dispositif de détection d’obstacles;
- Article 24: Composants, exigences révisées pour les interrupteurs et
- L'article 29: Distances dans l’air, lignes de fuite et isolation solide, exigences révisées pour les machines et les périphériques non alimentés par le secteur.
Cette série est une série de normes de famille de produits traitant de la sécurité d’appareils et a préséance sur les normes horizontales et génériques couvrant le même sujet.
La présente partie 2-107 doit être utilisée conjointement avec la cinquième édition (2010) de l’IEC 60335-1 et ses amendements.
