Foreword
This draft amendment to the draft European Standard prEN 60745-2-15 was prepared by the
Technical Committee CENELEC TC 61F, Safety of hand-held and transportable motor-operated electric
tools. It contains common modifications to IEC 61F/566/CDV (future 60745-2-15), which are proposed
to bring the European Standard in line with the essential health and safety requirements of the
Machinery Directive.
This draft European Standard will supersede EN 50144-2-15:2001.
Other standards referred to in this European standard are listed in Clause 2. Clause 2 lists the valid

given in Part 1 to account for the particular hazards and characteristics of these specific tools.
This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN and CENELEC by the
European Commission and the European Free Trade Association and supports the essential health
and safety requirements of the Machinery Directive.
Compliance with the clauses of Part 1 together with this Part 2 provides one means of conforming with
the essential health and safety requirements of the Directive concerned.
CEN/TC 144 is producing standards for non-electric hedge trimmers (EN 774).
Warning: Other requirements and other EC Directives can be applicable to the products falling
within the scope of this standard.
This standard follows the overall requirements of EN 292-1 and EN 292-2.
