Overview
EN 62841-3-4:2016/A1:2020 is the CENELEC (CLC) amendment to the European safety standard for transportable bench grinders. It modifies EN 62841-3-4:2016 to align with IEC 62841-3-4:2016/A1:2019 and was approved by CENELEC (parallel vote) in August 2019 and published in March 2020. The amendment updates specific requirements and figures relevant to the safe design, manufacture and assessment of transportable bench grinders and supports essential requirements of applicable EU Directives (see informative Annex ZZ).
Key topics and requirements
- Scope extension (clarification): The amendment explicitly covers type 1 grinding wheels with a maximum diameter of 310 mm and thickness not exceeding 55 mm (see newly added Figure 106).
- Normative references: The amendment replaces the normative references clause to state that the clause of Part 1 is applicable, reinforcing that general requirements in EN/IEC 62841‑1 apply to this part.
- Illustrative material: A new Figure 106 (Type 1 grinding wheel) was added after Figure 105 to clarify wheel geometry and designation.
- Standards governance: Prepared by IEC TC 116 (Safety of motor-operated electric tools); adopted by CENELEC without modification. Implementation and withdrawal timelines for national standards are defined (national implementation by publication date, withdrawal of conflicting standards by the specified dow).
Practical applications and users
This amendment is directly relevant to:
- Manufacturers and designers of transportable bench grinders - for product design, safety features and component selection (e.g., wheel sizing).
- Test laboratories and conformity assessors - to verify compliance with updated wheel size limits, figures and the Part 1 normative framework.
- Safety engineers and quality managers - to ensure workplace equipment meets European safety requirements.
- Regulatory bodies and notified bodies - when assessing conformity with EU Directives referenced in Annex ZZ for CE marking and market access.
Practical uses include design validation, risk assessment, conformity testing and documentation required for CE marking and national standard adoption.
