HAND-HELD MOTOR-OPERATED ELECTRIC TOOLS –

SAFETY –
Part 2-17: Particular requirements for routers and trimmers

FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the 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, the IEC publishes International Standards. 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. The 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 the 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 National Committees.
3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the form
of standards, technical specifications, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National
Committees in that sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject
of patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60745-2-17 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
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1989, of which it
constitutes a technical revision.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:

FDIS Report on voting
61F/468/FDIS 61F/492/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives.
This Part 2-17 is to be used in conjunction with the third edition of IEC 60745-1: Safety of
hand-held motor-operated electric tools – Part 1: General requirements. When this standard
states “addition”, “modification” or “replacement”, the relevant text in Part 1 is to be adapted
accordingly.
60745-2-17 © IEC:2003(E) – 3 –

NOTE in this standard, the following print types are used:

– requirements: in roman type;

– test specifications: in italic type;

– notes: in smaller roman type.

Subclauses, tables and figures which are additional to those in Part 1 are numbered starting from 101; additional
annexes are lettered AA, BB, etc.

The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until

January 2007. At this date, the publication will be

• reconfirmed;
• withdrawn;
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
A bilingual version of this publication may be issued at a later date.
