Foreword
The text of document 116/166/FDIS, future edition 1 of IEC 62841-2-5, prepared by IEC/TC 116
"Safety of motor-operated electric tools" was submitted to the IEC-CENELEC parallel vote and
approved by CENELEC as EN 62841-2-5:2014.

A draft amendment, which covers common modifications to IEC 62841-2-5:2014, was prepared
by CLC/TC 116 "Safety of motor-operated electric tools" and approved by CENELEC.

The following dates are fixed:

• latest date by which this document (dop) 2015-05-05
has to be implemented at national
level by publication of an identical
national standard or by endorsement
• latest date by which the national (dow) 2018-05-05
standards conflicting with this
document have to be withdrawn
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CENELEC by the European
Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of
EU Directive(s).
For the relationship with EU Directive(s) see informative Annex ZZ, which is an integral part of
this document.
Clauses, subclauses, notes, tables, figures and annexes which are additional to those in
IEC 62841-2-5 are prefixed “Z”.

Subclauses, tables and figures which are additional to those in Part 1 are numbered starting from 101.

This European Standard is divided into four parts:

Part 1: General requirements which are common to most hand-held electric motor operated tools
(for the purpose of this standard referred to simply as tools) which could come within the
scope of this standard;
Part 2, 3 or 4: Requirements for particular types of tools which either supplement or modify the
requirements given in Part 1 to account for the particular hazards and characteristics of
these specific tools.
1)
This Part 2-5 is to be used in conjunction with EN 62841-1:201X . When this standard states "addition",
"modification" or "replacement", the relevant text in Part 1 is to be adapted accordingly.

Compliance with the clauses of Part 1 together with this Part 2-5 provides one means of conforming with
the essential health and safety requirements of the Directive concerned.

Warning: Other requirements and other EU Directives can be applicable to the products falling within
the scope of this standard.
This European Standard follows the overall requirements of EN ISO 12100.

NOTE In this standard the following print types are used:
- requirements proper; in roman type
- test specifications: in italic type;
- explanatory matter: in smaller roman type.
Words in bold in the text are defined in Clause 3. When a definition concerns an adjective, the adjective and the associated noun
are also in bold.
