Overview

EN 50636-2-107:2015/A1:2018 is a CENELEC European standard that defines safety requirements and verification for robotic, battery-powered rotary lawnmowers and their peripherals. It applies to machines with a battery rated voltage of not more than 75 V d.c., charged from mains and/or alternative energy sources (e.g., solar). The amendment A1 (2018) updates the original 2015 standard, notably adding a child foot-probe test and new information requirements for machines used in public areas.

Key topics and requirements

• Scope and exclusions
  • Covers robotic battery-powered rotary lawnmowers and peripherals.
  • Excludes non-robotic machines (lawn trimmers, edgers, ride-on and pedestrian-controlled mowers), internal combustion, hybrid or fuel-cell powered machines, and EMC/environmental hazards (except noise).
  • Does not cover battery chargers (see EN 60335-2-29:2004) or machines manufactured before the document’s publication date.
• Design and construction safety
  • Addresses hazards arising during intended use and reasonably foreseeable misuse.
  • Requires manufacturers to consider cutting means position, enclosure integrity and guarding to prevent access to the cutting path.
• Verification and test methods
  • Requires testing with the cutting means in the most unfavourable position; if cutting height varies with speed, extremes must be included.
  • Foot probe tests:
    • Adult foot probe: probe inserted around the external enclosure; base held horizontally and may be inclined up to 15°; applied until a maximum horizontal force of 20 N, enclosure movement, or contact with the cutting path - probe must not enter the cutting path.
    • New child foot probe: amendment A1 adds a dedicated foot probe and test procedure for a standing child, following the same force and angle rules.
• Warnings and information
  • For machines used in public areas, visible warning signs are required: e.g., “Warning! Automatic lawnmower! Keep away from the machine! Supervise children!”

Applications and who uses this standard

• Intended users:
  • Manufacturers and designers of robotic lawnmowers and related peripherals
  • Safety and compliance engineers, notified bodies, and test laboratories
  • Product safety assessors, installers, and facility managers (public parks, grounds maintenance)
• Practical uses:
  • Product design validation and risk assessment
  • Type testing and conformity demonstration for CE marking and EU directive compliance
  • Instruction and labelling content, especially for public-use deployments

Related standards

• EN 50636-2-107 is a Part 2 document linked to the broader household appliance safety framework and references battery charger standard EN 60335-2-29:2004 (not applicable here). See Annex ZZ in the standard for relationships to EU directives.
