Electric motor-operated hand-held tools, transportable tools and lawn and garden machinery - Safety - Part 2-9: Particular requirements for hand-held tappers and threaders

IEC 62841-2-9:2015 applies to hand-held tappers and threaders. The rated voltage is not more than 250 V for single-phase a.c. or d.c. tools, and 480 V for three-phase a.c. tools. The rated input is not more than 3 700 W. The limits for the applicability of this standard for battery tools is given in Annex K. This standard deals with the hazards presented by tools which are encountered by all persons in the normal use and reasonably foreseeable misuse of the tools. Hand-held electric tools, which can be mounted on a support or working stand for use as fixed tools without any alteration of the tool itself, are within the scope of this standard and such combination of a hand-held tool and a support is considered to be a transportable tool and thus covered by the relevant Part 3. The attention of National Committees is drawn to the fact that equipment manufacturers and testing organizations may need a transitional period following publication of a new, amended or revised IEC publication in which to make products in accordance with the new requirements and to equip themselves for conducting new or revised tests. It is the recommendation of the committee that the content of this publication be adopted for implementation nationally not earlier than 36 months from the date of publication.

Outils électroportatifs à moteur, outils portables et machines pour jardins et pelouses - Sécurité - Partie 2-9: Exigences particulières pour les taraudeuses et les fileteuses portatives

L'IEC 62841-2-9:2015 s'applique aux taraudeuses et les fileteuses portatives. La tension assignée est inférieure à 250 V pour les outils à courant monophasé alternatif ou continu, et inférieure à 480 V pour les outils à courant alternatif triphasé. La tension assignée est inférieure à 3 700 W. Les limites d'application de la présente Norme aux outils fonctionnant sur batterie sont indiquées en Annex K. La présente Norme traite des dangers présentés par les outils, encourus par tous les individus dans l'utilisation normale et dans l'utilisation impropre raisonnablement prévisible de ces outils. Les outils électroportatifs, qui peuvent être montés sur un support de travail pour être utilisés comme outils installés à poste fixe sans aucune modification de l'outil lui-même, sont compris dans le domaine d'application de la présente Norme et la combinaison d'un outil portatif et d'un support est considérée comme un outil portable, donc couvert par la Partie 3 applicable. L'attention des Comités Nationaux est attirée sur le fait que les fabricants d'appareils et les organismes d'essai peuvent avoir besoin d'une période transitoire après la publication d'une nouvelle publication IEC, ou d'une publication amendée ou révisée, pour fabriquer des produits conformes aux nouvelles exigences et pour adapter leurs équipements aux nouveaux essais ou aux essais révisés. Le comité recommande que le contenu de cette publication soit entériné au niveau national au plus tôt 36 mois après la date de publication.

Overview

SIST EN 62841-2-9:2015/oprAB:2024 is a European draft standard that sets out specific safety requirements for electric motor-operated hand-held tappers and threaders. Developed by CLC/TC 116, this document forms part of the wider EN 62841 series on safety for hand-held and transportable electric tools, as well as lawn and garden machinery. The standard applies to tools with a rated voltage up to 250 V for single-phase a.c. or d.c., and up to 480 V for three-phase a.c., with a maximum rated input of 3,700 W. It addresses essential safety issues arising from normal use and foreseeable misuse, ensuring safe operation for all users.

The scope encompasses hand-held electric tappers and threaders, including those that can be mounted on supports or working stands without tool alteration. Such configurations are treated as transportable tools and referenced against relevant Part 3 requirements.

Key Topics

• Safety for Electric Hand-held Tappers and Threaders: Focuses on mitigation of hazards including mechanical injury, unintentional starting, and risks associated with battery-powered variants.
• Isolation and Disabling Devices: Enhances protection in battery tools by requiring physical isolation or disabling features to prevent unintentional startups and injuries during servicing or maintenance.
• Compliance with EU Directives: Aligns with essential requirements set out in Directive 2006/42/EC on machinery safety. Adoption of this standard provides a presumption of conformity, simplifying regulatory compliance across the EU.
• Implementation Timeline: Committee recommendation is a 36-month transition before national adoption to allow manufacturers and testing organizations to adapt to new requirements.
• Instructions and Markings: Sets clear requirements for labeling, product manuals, and operational instructions to improve end-user safety awareness.

Applications

Industrial and Workshop Use

• Hand-held Tapper and Threader Tools: Used in metalworking, construction, and manufacturing sectors for creating precise internal and external screw threads in components.
• Transportable Tools: Covers equipment that can be easily moved and temporarily mounted for tasks requiring both portability and stability.

Battery-powered Tools

• Ensures that tools with integrated batteries feature clear isolation or disabling mechanisms, enhancing safety during servicing and reducing risk of accidental operation.

Regulatory, Testing, and Certification

• Manufacturers: Helps tool makers design safer products that meet harmonized safety regulations, facilitating market access within the EU and EFTA member states.
• Testing Laboratories and Certification Bodies: Provides a clear framework for testing compliance, inspection, and certification against the latest safety requirements.
• Importers and Distributors: Assists supply chain partners in verifying that tools meet applicable standards before entering the market.

Related Standards

• EN 62841-1: General requirements for the safety of electric motor-operated hand-held tools, transportable tools, and lawn and garden machinery.
• IEC 62841-2-9:2015: International standard forming the base for EN 62841-2-9, covering particular requirements for hand-held tappers and threaders.
• EN 62841-3: Addresses safety aspects of transportable tools, especially where hand-held tools are mounted on supports.
• Directive 2006/42/EC: EU Machinery Directive, specifying wider safety requirements for machinery, with which this standard is harmonized.

By adhering to SIST EN 62841-2-9:2015/oprAB:2024, manufacturers, testing agencies, and professionals ensure the highest levels of safety in the design and operation of electric hand-held tappers and threaders, thereby reducing risks and supporting regulatory compliance throughout the tool’s lifecycle.
