10 European foreword

11 This document (EN 62841-1:2015/prAB:2020) has been prepared by CLC/TC 116 ” Safety of motor-

12 operated electric tools”.
13 This document is currently submitted to the Enquiry.
14 The following dates are proposed:
• latest date by which the existence of this (doa) dor + 6 months
document has to be announced at national
level
• latest date by which this document has to be (dop) dor + 12 months
implemented at national level by publication of
an identical national standard or by
endorsement
• latest date by which the national standards (dow) dor + 24 months
conflicting with this document have to be (to be confirmed or
withdrawn modified when voting)
15 This document will amend EN 62841-1:2015.

16 This amendment was developed to correct the determination of the emission sound pressure level for

17 hand-held tools. Since the title of Annex I is “Measurement of noise and vibration emission”, the

18 requirements for noise and vibration reduction are transferred to Clause 21. In addition, the Annex ZZ

19 is replaced with a detailed one. And Annex ZA and Clause 2 are replaced in order to have only dated

20 normative references.

21 This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CENELEC by the European Commission

22 and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).

23 For the relationship with EU Directive(s) see informative Annex ZZ, which is an integral part of this

24 document.

EN 62841-1:2015/prAB:2020 (E)
25 1 Modification of Clause 2, “Normative references”
26 Replace the existing Clause 2 with the following:
27 “2 Normative references
28 Add the following normative references:

29 CR 1030-1:1995, Hand-arm vibration - Guidelines for vibration hazards reduction - Part 1: Engineering

30 methods by design of machinery

31 EN ISO 11688-1:2009, Acoustics - Recommended practice for the design of low-noise machinery and

32 equipment - Part 1: Planning (ISO/TR 11688-1:1995)”
33 2 Additions to Clause 21, “Construction”
34 Add the following new subclauses after Subclause 21.35:
35 “21.Z1 Noise reduction

36 Noise reduction at tools is an integral part of the design process and shall be achieved by particularly

37 applying measures at source to control noise, see for example EN ISO 11688-1. The success of the

38 applied noise reduction measures is assessed on the basis of the actual noise emission values,

39 measured in accordance with I.2, in relation to other machines of the same type with comparable non

40 acoustical technical data.
41 The major sound sources of tools are: motor, fan, gear.
42 21.Z2 Vibration reduction

43 The vibration at the handles shall be kept as low as possible without unduly affecting the performance

44 and the ergonomics (weight, handling, etc.) of the tool.

45 In particular vibration shall be reduced by the application of engineering measures as given in

46 CR 1030-1. The success of the applied vibration measures is assessed by comparing the vibration

47 levels for the tool, measured in accordance with I.3, with those for other tools of the same type and with

48 a comparable specification and performance.”
49 3 Modifications to Annex I, “Measurement of noise and vibration emissions”
50 Replace the existing Subclause I.2.Z1 with the following:
51 “Delete the NOTE before I.2.1.”
52 Replace the existing Subclause I.2.3.1 with the following:
53 “I.2.3.1 Hand-held tools

54 The A-weighted emission sound pressure level at the work station, L , shall be determined in

55 accordance with ISO 11203 as follows:
56 L = L - Q, in dB
pA WA
57 where Q = 8, in dB.

58 NOTE 1 This value of Q has been determined, during experimental investigations, to be applicable to hand-

59 held power tools. The resulting A-weighted emission sound pressure level at the workstation is equivalent to the

60 value of the surface sound pressure level at a distance of 0,7 m from the power tool. This distance has been chosen

61 to give satisfactory reproducibility of results, and to permit comparison of the acoustic performance of different

62 hand-held power tools, which do not, in general, have uniquely defined work stations. Under free field conditions,

63 where it could be required to estimate the emission sound pressure level, L , at a distance r in m from the

pA,r1 1
64 geometric centre of the power tool, this can be done by applying the formula:
65 L = L + 20 lg ( ), in dB
pA,r1 pA
---------------------- Page: 6 ----------------------
SIST EN 62841-1:2015/oprAB:2020
EN 62841-1:2015/prAB:2020 (E)

66 NOTE 2 At any given position in relation to a particular machine, and for given mounting and operating

67 conditions, the emission sound pressure levels determined by the method of this document will in general be lower

68 than the directly measured sound pressure levels for the same machine in the typical workroom where it is used.

69 This is due to the influence of sound reflecting surfaces in the workroom compared to the free field conditions of

70 the test specified here. A method of calculating the sound pressure levels in the vicinity of a machine operating

71 alone in a workroom is given in ISO/TR 11690-3. Commonly observed differences are 1 dB to 5 dB, but in extreme

72 cases the difference might be even greater.

73 If required, the C-weighted peak emission sound pressure level L shall be measured at each of

pCpeak

74 the five measurement positions specified in I.2.2. The C-weighted peak emission sound pressure level

75 at the work station is the highest C-weighted peak sound pressure level measured at any of the five

76 microphone positions; no corrections are permitted.”
77 Replace the existing Subclause I.3.Z1 with the following:
78 “Delete the NOTE before I.3.1.”
79 4 Replacement of the Annex ZA, “Normative references to international
80 publications with their corresponding European publications”
81 Replace the existing Annex ZA with the following:
