Part 2-12: Particular requirements for concrete vibrators

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60745-2-12 has been prepared by subcommittee 61F: Safety of
hand-held, motor-operated electric tools, of IEC technical committee 61: Safety of household
and similar electrical appliances.
Main changes include Clause 3: Definitions, moving the description for the tools covered by
this standard from Clause 1:Scope to the definitions, Clause 24: Supply connection and
external flexible cords, in respect to minimum cable specifications and length. Other
requirements have not substantially been changed, but partly reworded and moved to more
appropriate clauses.
This consolidated version of IEC 60745-2-12 consists of the second edition (2003)
[documents 61F/511/FDIS and 61F/522/RVD] and its amendment 1 (2008) [documents
61F/737/FDIS and 61F/757/RVD].
The technical content is therefore identical to the base edition and its amendment and has
been prepared for user convenience.

Part 2-12: Particular requirements for concrete vibrators

1 Scope
This clause of Part 1 is applicable, except as follows:
Addition:
This standard applies to concrete vibrators.
2 Normative references
This clause of Part 1 is applicable.
3 Terms and definitions
This clause of Part 1 is applicable, except as follows:
3.2.9 Replacement:
normal load
load obtained when the tool is operated continuously, the hose and vibrator bottle being
attached to the tool as for normal use. During the operation the vibrator bottle is immersed
centrally in a container filled with an amount of water corresponding to at least 50 times
the volume of the vibrator bottle.
The dimensions of the container are such that the diameter is about 50 % of the height of the
water inside the container.
The height of the container is such that no water can splash out during the test.
Addition:
3.101
concrete vibrator
tool intended for compacting concrete. The active part (vibrator bottle) of the vibrator performs
low-amplitude vibrations and is immersed into the mass of concrete to be vibrated.
Concrete vibrators may be of one of the following designs:
a) the motor and the vibrating mechanism are inside the vibrator bottle to which the part
containing the mains switch or a power converter and switch handle assembly is
connected by means of a long flexible hose containing the interconnecting cable. The long
flexible hose may be used as the handle (see Figure 101);
b) only the vibrator mechanism is inside the vibrator bottle to which a separate portable unit,
comprising the motor, the handle and the mains switch, is connected by means of a long
flexible hose containing a flexible shaft (see Figure 102)
