Electric Motor-Operated Hand-Held Tools, Transportable Tools and Lawn and Garden Machinery - Safety - Part 2-10: Particular requirements for hand-held mixers (IEC 62841-2-10:2017)

IEC 62841-2-10:2017 applies to mixers 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 are given in K.1 and L.1. 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.
Mixers are not considered to be tools with a liquid system.
This standard does not apply to drills and impact drills, even if they can be used as a mixer
This Part 2-10 is to be used in conjunction with the first edition of IEC 62841-1:2014 .
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.
Key words: Mixer, Hand-held tool, Safety

Overview

EN 62841-2-10:2017 (IEC 62841-2-10:2017) sets particular safety requirements for hand-held mixers - electric motor‑operated mixers with rated voltage up to 250 V (single‑phase a.c. or d.c.) or 480 V (three‑phase a.c.) and rated input up to 3 700 W. It is a Part 2 supplement to the general requirements in EN/IEC 62841-1 and addresses hazards from normal use and reasonably foreseeable misuse. Mixers are explicitly not treated as tools with a liquid system, and the standard excludes drills/impact drills even if used as mixers. Battery‑powered tool limits and requirements are covered in normative Annexes K and L.

Key Topics and Requirements

• Scope and limits: Voltage and power applicability, battery tool provisions (Annex K & L).
• Construction and controls: Requirements for power switches (e.g., momentary switches without locking or restart-prevention after mains interruption) and prevention of unwanted lock‑on.
• Battery safety: Tools with integral batteries must provide either an isolation device (disconnect all battery poles, clear indication, protection against accidental reconnection) or a disabling device (two dissimilar actions or removable device). Compliance is verified by inspection and manual test.
• Abnormal operation & performance levels: Defined performance levels for safety‑related control functions (e.g., switch-off, restart prevention).
• Mechanical safety: Protection against mechanical hazards, handle and spindle clearances, mechanical strength and endurance tests.
• Noise & vibration: Measurement methods are covered (Annex I - measurement of noise and vibration emissions).
• Documentation & marking: Instructions, safety markings and information required for safe use and servicing.
• Regulatory alignment: Relationship to EU Machinery Directive (Annex ZZ) - following the standard provides a route to presumption of conformity when cited in the Official Journal.

Applications and Practical Use

This standard is essential for:

• Manufacturers and product designers developing hand‑held or transportable mixers to meet safety and CE requirements.
• Test laboratories and certification bodies performing conformity and type testing (electrical, mechanical, noise/vibration).
• Compliance officers and procurement teams assessing product safety and regulatory compliance.
• Safety engineers performing risk assessments, writing user manuals, and specifying guard/interlock designs.

Practical uses include product design validation, preparing technical construction files for CE marking, establishing test protocols, and specifying battery isolation/disabling solutions.

Related Standards

• EN/IEC 62841-1 (General requirements for hand‑held electric motor‑operated tools) - use in conjunction with Part 2-10.
• Applicable national adoptions and harmonized standards for conformity to EU directives (see Annex ZZ for Machinery Directive alignment).

– the power switch shall be a momentary power switch without having a locking arrangement in
the “on” position
or
– the tool shall not restart after an interruption of the mains supply without releasing and re-actuating
the power switch.
Annex I
Replace the title of Annex I with the following:
Annex I
(normative)
Measurement of noise and vibration emissions

and delete the note.
Annex K
(normative)
Battery tools and battery packs

Replace the note with the following:
K.21.18.Z101 Isolation and disabling device
Tools with an integral battery shall either be equipped
– with an isolation device to prevent the risk of injury from mechanical hazards during servicing or
user maintenance; or
– with a disabling device that prevents unintentional starting of the tool.
An isolation device shall
– provide disconnection of all poles of the battery from the serviceable region of the tool;
– be equipped with an unambiguous indication of the state of the disconnection device which
corresponds to each position of its manual control (actuator);
– be provided with protection against accidental reconnection.
NOTE 1 Examples of methods to achieve this disconnection include removable jumpers, integral batteries that can be
disconnected for servicing or user maintenance, or an electromechanical power switch with a direct mechanical link between
the actuator and the contact.
NOTE 2 The risk of accidental reconnection for a power switch is addressed by the requirement of 21.18.1.2. The other
examples in NOTE 1 achieve this by the necessary actions for reconnection.
A disabling device may be achieved by any of the following:
– a self-restoring or non-self-restoring lock-off device where two separate and dissimilar actions are
necessary before the motor is switched on (e.g. a power switch which has to be pushed in before
it can be moved laterally to close the contacts to start the motor). It shall not be possible to achieve
these two actions with a single grasping motion or a straight line motion;
– a removable disabling device provided with the tool where it shall not be possible for the tool to be
operated when either applied or removed.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirec
...
