Part 3-12: Particular requirements for transportable
threading machines
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 indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This consolidated version of the official IEC Standard and its amendment has been
prepared for user convenience.
IEC 62841-3-12 edition 1.1 contains the first edition (2017-08) [documents 116/338/FDIS
and 116/343/RVD] and its amendment 1 (2021-07) [documents 116/488/CDV and
116/512/RVC].
In this Redline version, a vertical line in the margin shows where the technical content

International Standard IEC 62841-3-12 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 116:
Safety of motor-operated electric tools.
This document has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
This Part 3-12 is to be used in conjunction with the first edition of IEC 62841-1 (2014).
This Part 3-12 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in IEC 62841-1, so as to
convert it into the IEC Standard: Particular requirements for transportable threading
machines.
Where a particular subclause of Part 1 is not mentioned in this Part 3-12, that subclause
applies as far as relevant. Where this standard states “addition”, “modification” or
“replacement”, the relevant text in Part 1 is to be adapted accordingly.
The following print types are used:
– requirements: in roman type;
– test specifications: in italic type;
– notes: in small roman type;
– terms defined in Clause 3: in bold typeface.
Subclauses, notes and figures which are additional to those in Part 1 are numbered starting
from 101.
A list of all parts of the IEC 62841 series, under the general title: Electric motor-operated
hand-held tools, transportable tools and lawn and garden machinery – Safety, can be found
on the IEC website.
The committee has decided that the contents of the base publication and its amendment will
remain unchanged until the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under webstore.iec.ch
in the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
NOTE 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.

IMPORTANT – The 'colour inside' logo on the cover page of this publication indicates
that it contains colours which are considered to be useful for the correct
understanding of its contents. Users should therefore print this document using a
colour printer.

5 General conditions for the tests
This clause of Part 1 is applicable.
6 Radiation, toxicity and similar hazards
This clause of Part 1 is applicable.
7 Classification
This clause of Part 1 is applicable.
8 Marking and instructions
This clause of Part 1 is applicable, except as follows:
8.1 Addition:
– maximum diameter of the thread which can be created. The maximum diameter may be
specified in SI units or inches.
NOTE According to the International System of Units, only SI Units are to be used. Nevertheless, some pipe
diameters and threads are still specified in inches internationally.
8.14.1 Addition:
The additional safety instructions as specified in 8.14.1.101 shall be given. This part may be
printed separately from the “General Power Tool Safety Warnings”.
8.14.1.101 Threading machine safety warnings
a) Keep floor dry and free of slippery materials such as oil. Slippery floors invite
accidents.
b) Restrict access or barricade the area from bystanders when the workpiece extends
beyond the machine to provide a minimum of one metre clearance from the
workpiece. Restricting access or barricading the work area around the workpiece will
reduce the risk of entanglement.
c) Do not wear gloves. Gloves may be entangled by the rotating pipe or machine parts
leading to personal injury.
d) Do not use the machine for other purposes such as drilling holes or turning
winches. Other uses or modifying this machine for other applications may increase the
risk of serious injury.
e) Secure the machine to a bench or stand. Support long heavy pipe with pipe
supports. This practice will prevent the machine from tipping.
f) While operating the machine, stand on the side where the operator control switch is
located. Operating the machine from this side eliminates need to reach over the machine.
g) Keep hands away from rotating pipe and fittings. Stop the machine before wiping
pipe threads or screwing on fittings. Allow the machine to come to a complete stop
before touching the pipe. This practice will reduce the risk of entanglement in rotating
parts.
© IEC 2021
h) Do not use this machine to install or remove fittings. This practice could lead to
trapping, entanglement and loss of control.
NOTE Replacing “install or remove” with “make or break” is possible.
i) Do not operate the machine without all covers properly installed. Exposing moving
parts increases the probability of entanglement.
j) Do not use this machine if the foot switch is broken or missing. The foot switch
provides safe control of the machine, such as emergency shutoff in case of entanglement.
8.14.2 b) Additional items:
101) Instruction on the proper location of the operator while operating the machine;
102) For threading machines with multiple gear box settings: information about which gear
box setting is to be used for each thread diameter and style.
9 Protection against access to live parts
This clause of Part 1 is applicable.
10 Starting
This clause of Part 1 is applicable.
11 Input and current
This clause of Part 1 is applicable, except as follows:
Replacement:
The rated input or rated current shall be at least 100 % of the highest measured input or
current after applying a minimum torque as specified in Table 101 for the largest
recommended thread size for each speed setting in accordance with 8.1 and 8.14.2 b) 102).
Compliance is checked by measuring the power input or current of the tool when stabilized
while all circuits which can operate simultaneously are in operation.
For tools marked with one or more rated voltages, the test is made at each of the rated
voltages. For tools marked with one or more rated voltage ranges, the test is made at both
the upper and lower limits of the ranges. For tools with multiple gear box settings, the test is
made at each specified gear box setting in accordance with 8.14.2 b). The highest value of
input or current is applicable.

AVANT-PROPOS
1) La Commission Electrotechnique Internationale (IEC) est une organisation mondiale de normalisation
composée de l'ensemble des comités électrotechniques nationaux (Comités nationaux de l’IEC). L’IEC a pour
objet de favoriser la coopération internationale pour toutes les questions de normalisation dans les domaines
de l'électricité et de l'électronique. A cet effet, l’IEC – entre autres activités – publie des Normes
internationales, des Spécifications techniques, des Rapports techniques, des Spécifications accessibles au
public (PAS) et des Guides (ci-après dénommés "Publication(s) de l’IEC"). Leur élaboration est confiée à des
comités d'études, aux travaux desquels tout Comité national intéressé par le sujet traité peut participer. Les
organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non gouvernementales, en liaison avec l’IEC, participent
également aux travaux. L’IEC collabore étroitement avec l'Organisation Internationale de Normalisation (ISO),
selon des conditions fixées par accord entre les deux organisations.
2) Les décisions ou accords officiels de l’IEC concernant les questions techniques représentent, dans la mesure
du possible, un accord international sur les sujets étudiés, étant donné que les Comités nationaux de l’IEC

La Norme internationale IEC 62841-3-12 a été établie par le comité d'études 116 de l’IEC:
Sécurité des outils électroportatifs à moteur.
Ce document a été rédigé selon les Directives ISO/IEC, Partie 2.
La présente Partie 3-12 doit être utilisée conjointement avec la première édition de
l'IEC 62841-1 (2014).
La présente Partie 3-12 complète ou modifie les articles correspondants de l'IEC 62841-1 de
façon à transformer cette dernière en norme IEC: Exigences particulières relatives aux
machines à fileter portables.
Lorsqu'un paragraphe particulier de la Partie 1 n'est pas mentionné dans la présente
Partie 3-12, ce paragraphe s'applique pour autant qu'il soit pertinent. Lorsque la présente
norme spécifie "addition", "modification" ou "remplacement", le texte correspondant de la
Partie 1 doit être adapté en conséquence.
Les caractères d'imprimerie suivants sont employés:
– exigences: en caractères romains;
– spécifications d'essai: en caractères italiques;
– notes: en petits caractères romains;
– termes définis à l'Article 3: en caractères gras.
Les paragraphes, notes et figures complémentaires à ceux de la Partie 1 sont numérotés à
partir de 101.
Une liste de toutes les parties de la série IEC 62841, publiées sous le titre général: Outils
électroportatifs à moteur, outils portables et machines pour jardins et pelouses – Sécurité,
peut être consultée sur le site Web de l'IEC.
Le comité a décidé que le contenu de la publication de base et de son amendement ne sera
pas modifié avant la date de stabilité indiquée sur le site web de l’IEC sous webstore.iec.ch
dans les données relatives à la publication recherchée. A cette date, la publication sera
• reconduite,
• supprimée,
• remplacée par une édition révisée, ou
• amendée.
NOTE L'attention des Comités Nationaux est attirée sur le fait que les fabricants d'appareils et les organismes
d'essai peuvent avoir besoin d'une période transitoire après la publication d'une nouvelle publication IEC, ou d'une
publication amendée ou révisée, pour fabriquer des produits conformes aux nouvelles exigences et pour adapter
leurs équipements aux nouveaux essais ou aux essais révisés.
Le comité recommande que le contenu de cette publication soit entériné au niveau national au plus tôt 36 mois
après la date de publication.
IMPORTANT – Le logo "colour inside" qui se trouve sur la page de couverture de cette
