Overview
EN 60745-2-4:2009/prAB:2012 is a European standard developed by CLC/TC 116 focusing on the safety of hand-held motor-operated electric tools, specifically sanders and polishers other than the disk type. This amendment supports essential safety requirements under EU directives and addresses critical health aspects such as dust emission during operation.
The standard provides particular requirements for these tools, emphasizing dust measurement to ensure operator safety when sanding materials containing harmful substances, such as quartz. It sets clear procedures for testing inhalable and respirable dust emissions, defining operational conditions, test methods, and reporting criteria.
Key Topics
Scope and Application: Applies to hand-held sanders and polishers excluding disk types. It supplements IEC 60745-2-4 requirements with additional clauses specific to dust emission from sanding materials with quartz.
Dust Measurement Requirements:
- Introduces new provisions (Annex ZC) for measuring inhalable and respirable dust concentrations during sanding.
- Mandates testing of dust emissions under controlled conditions using standardized materials like plaster fibreboard with defined composition and thickness.
Test Procedures and Conditions:
- Specifies operational conditions including sanding paper grit, speed settings, feed force, and workpiece arrangement (e.g., on a 15° inclined A-support).
- Requires sanding cycles with intervals and minimum collected dust mass for validation (e.g., 1000g or 1500g depending on tool specifications).
Reporting and Documentation:
- Test reports must include mean respirable dust concentrations alongside standard measurements.
- Parameters related to load, sanding speed, and dust collection are documented to ensure reproducibility.
Safety Focus:
- Aims to reduce health hazards linked to dust inhalation by providing technical requirements to designers and manufacturers for safer tool design and operation.
Applications
Manufacturing and Testing: Manufacturers of hand-held sanders and polishers use EN 60745-2-4:2009/prAB:2012 to ensure their products comply with European safety requirements and minimize dust emission risks.
Occupational Health: Employers and safety inspectors refer to this standard to select compliant tools and implement appropriate protective measures for workers exposed to respirable dust.
Product Certification: Compliance aids in CE marking and market access within European Union countries, ensuring tools meet harmonized safety standards.
Quality Assurance: Testing laboratories follow the defined procedures to perform consistent dust emission measurements, supporting tool improvements and regulatory approvals.
