Overview

EN 62841-2-21:2019/prA1:2024 is Amendment 1 to the European adoption of IEC 62841‑2‑21, the safety standard for electric motor‑operated hand‑held drain cleaners. It sits within the EN/IEC 62841 series covering hand‑held tools, transportable tools and lawn and garden machinery. The amendment updates particular safety and test requirements that apply specifically to hand‑held drain cleaners, including thermal protection, construction and battery test provisions.

Key topics and requirements

The amendment introduces or clarifies several targeted technical points (as published in the CLC/IEC CDV extract):

  • Abnormal operation / thermal limits
    • Requires measures to prevent exceeding thermal limits (references to clauses 18.4 and 18.5.3 a in Part 1), addressing overheating risks during abnormal use.
  • Construction
    • Adds a specific exclusion: a subclause of Part 1 (21.18.1.2) is declared not applicable for hand‑held drain cleaners, clarifying which general construction requirements do not apply.
  • Components
    • Clause 23 from Part 1 is declared applicable except that subclause 23.3 is not applicable, refining component‑level obligations.
  • Battery testing (Annex I addition)
    • For battery‑operated drain cleaners, tests shall be performed using the lightest battery (per K.8.14.2 e)2) of Part 1) that still permits the tool to run at no‑load for at least 25 minutes. This ensures realistic thermal and endurance testing under conservative battery mass conditions.
  • Stability and adoption
    • The proposed stability date is 2030 and the committee recommends a transitional implementation period (national adoption not earlier than 36 months from publication).

Practical applications

This amendment is practical and relevant for:

  • Manufacturers of hand‑held electric drain cleaners - to design products that meet updated safety, thermal and component requirements.
  • Test laboratories and conformity assessment bodies - to update test protocols (especially battery endurance and thermal tests) and certification procedures.
  • Product safety engineers and R&D teams - to assess design changes, materials and electronic protection required to comply with thermal limits.
  • Procurement and compliance officers - to specify standards compliance in tenders and technical documentation.

Related standards

  • EN/IEC 62841 series - General requirements (Part 1) and other Part 2 documents for specific tool types.
  • National adoptions published by CLC/SIST incorporating EN 62841‑2‑21 and amendments.

Keywords: EN 62841-2-21 amendment, hand-held drain cleaners safety, electric motor-operated tools, thermal limits, battery testing, IEC 62841, product conformity.

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.
