Overview

EN 60745-1:2009/prAB:2012 is a CENELEC draft amendment to EN 60745‑1 that adds a normative procedure for measuring dust emissions from hand‑held motor‑operated electric tools. The amendment (Annex ZC) defines how to measure and report inhalable and respirable dust (including silica/quartz where relevant) to support workplace exposure assessment and selection of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).

Key topics and requirements

• Scope and intent: Applies when a manufacturer provides dust‑emission information; test results are intended for initial risk assessment and PPE decisions.
• Normative references: Test and measurement methods reference EN 481, EN 1093‑9, and EN 13205.
• Definitions: Clear terms for dust, inhalable/resirable fractions, dust sampler, dust extraction unit, quartz, maximum air flow and maximum vacuum.
• Test room & sampler placement:
  • Tests performed in a specified test room (document text specifies a room size of 200 m ±10 % with a height between 3.0 m and 4.5 m).
  • Dust samplers are carried on the operator’s upper chest; respirable sampling uses two samplers (one per side) or equivalent robotic placement.
• Operating and test cycles:
  • Typical cycle: five test cycles of 10 min working + 2 min rest each; alternative: ten cycles of 5 min + 1 min rest for some integrated extraction units.
  • Tools tested at rated voltage and maximum speed; tools and extraction units maintained per manufacturer instructions.
• Measurement & reporting: Three tests produce concentration values (mg/m³); reports must include tool and accessory details, material tested, test room layout, sampler and instrument data, environmental data, and mean inhalable/respirable concentrations.
• Information for users: Manufacturers must include mean dust concentrations in instructions, guidance on extraction unit type or minimum extraction specifications (e.g., maximum air flow and vacuum), and warnings that real‑world concentrations may differ. For silica‑bearing materials, respirable mean values can be used to estimate quartz concentration.

Applications and users

• Manufacturers of power tools - to characterize and declare dust emissions and specify compatible dust extraction units.
• Independent test laboratories - to perform standardized dust emission testing and prepare compliant test reports.
• Occupational health & safety professionals - to use published values for preliminary exposure assessments and PPE planning.
• Purchasers and facilities managers - to compare tools by measured dust emissions and select appropriate extraction solutions.
• Regulators and conformity assessors - for assessing compliance with safety requirements related to airborne hazardous substances.

Related standards

• EN 60745‑1:2009 (base standard), IEC 60745 series
• EN 481 - size fraction definitions for airborne particles
• EN 1093‑9 - room method for pollutant concentration parameters
• EN 13205 - performance assessment of particle measurement instruments

This draft amendment prAB, if approved, will modify the European Standard EN 60745-1:2009; it is submitted to
CENELEC members for CENELEC enquiry.
Deadline for CENELEC: 2013-05-10.

It has been drawn up by CLC/TC 116.

If this draft becomes an amendment, CENELEC members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal
Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this amendment the status of a national standard without any
alteration.
This draft amendment was established by CENELEC in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in
any other language made by translation under the responsibility of a CENELEC member into its own language and
notified to the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre has the same status as the official versions.

CENELEC members are the national electrotechnical committees of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, the
Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece,
Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal,
Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.

Recipients of this draft are invited to submit, with their comments, notification of any relevant patent rights of which they
are aware and to provide supporting documentation.

Warning : This document is not a European Standard. It is distributed for review and comments. It is subject to change
without notice and shall not be referred to as a European Standard.
