Foreword
This document (EN 61029-2-9:2012) consists of the text of IEC 61029-2-9:1995 prepared by
IEC/SC 61F (transformed into IEC TC 116 "Safety of hand-held motor-operated electric tools"),
together with the common modifications prepared by CLC/TC 116 "Safety of motor-operated electric
tools".
The following dates are fixed:
• latest date by which the document has to be
(dop) 2013-09-03
implemented at national level
by publication of an identical
national standard or by endorsement
• latest date by which the national standards conflicting
(dow) 2015-09-03
with the document have to be withdrawn
This document supersedes EN 61029-2-9:2009.
EN 61029-2-9:2012 includes the following significant technical changes with respect to
EN 61029-2-9:2009:
– rewording of some clauses and
– improvement and clarification of Clause 18.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CENELEC [and/or CEN] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such
patent rights.
This European Standard is divided into two parts:
Part 1 General requirements, which are common to most transportable motor, operated tools (for the
purpose of this European Standard referred to simply as tools) which could come within the
scope of this European Standard.
Part 2 Requirements for particular types of tool which either supplement or modify the requirements
given in Part 1 to account for the particular hazards and characteristics of these specific tools.
Compliance with the relevant clauses of Part 1 together with this Part 2 provides one means of
conforming to the specified essential health and safety requirements of the Directive.
This European Standard follows the overall requirements of EN ISO 12100.
For noise and vibration, this European Standard covers the requirements for their measurement, the
provisions of information arising from these measurements and the provision of information about the
personal protective equipment required. Specific requirements for the reduction of the risk arising from
noise and vibration through the design of the tool are not given as this reflects the current state of the
art.
Warning: Other requirements arising from other EU Directives can be applicable to the products
falling within the scope of this European Standard.
CEN have prepared standards for wood working machines, which may include transportable
machines. Although CEN and CENELEC have, where appropriate, used common solutions to provide
uniform levels of protection, persons using this European Standard should check the scope of both this
and CEN standards to ensure that a correct standard is used. Where necessary, normative reference
is made to these standards in this Part 2.
