SIST EN IEC 62841-3-3:2026/A11:2026 is the Slovenian adoption of the CENELEC amendment for transportable planers and thicknessers. It updates the safety requirements for these woodworking machines, with changes to marking and instructions, mechanical hazards, noise and vibration measurement, battery-tool safety, and the link to EU machinery law. Manufacturers, test laboratories, and conformity assessors use it together with the Part 1 requirements for electric motor-operated hand-held tools and transportable tools.
What does SIST EN IEC 62841-3-3:2026/A11:2026 specify?
SIST EN IEC 62841-3-3:2026/A11:2026 modifies EN IEC 62841-3-3:2026 with common modifications for transportable planers and thicknessers. It does not stand alone in use - the amendment is applied together with the Part 1 requirements and updates the clauses and annexes that need adaptation for this tool type.
The document is organized as a short amendment with changes to Clause 2, Clause 8, Clause 19, Annex I, Annex K, Annex L, Annex ZA and Annex ZZ.
| Annex | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Annex I | Measurement of noise and vibration emissions |
| Annex K | Battery tools and battery packs |
| Annex L | Battery tools and battery packs provided with mains connection or non-isolated sources |
| Annex ZA | Normative references to international publications and their European publications |
| Annex ZZ | Relationship with Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 |
What are the key requirements of SIST EN IEC 62841-3-3:2026/A11:2026?
SIST EN IEC 62841-3-3:2026/A11:2026 focuses on practical safety points that affect setup, use, servicing, and compliance testing. The main updates tighten how the tool is described, how hazards are tested, and how battery-powered versions are safeguarded.
Marking and instructions
The amendment strengthens the user instructions for push-stick use and for noise declarations. In practice, manufacturers need to tell users when a push-stick is required, especially for feeding material and handling small workpieces, and they need to present declared noise values as measured by a standard test method and useful for comparison and preliminary exposure assessment. The warning text also makes clear that real use can differ from declared noise values, so the operator must base protection measures on actual working conditions.
Mechanical hazards
The amendment adds and revises requirements for the cutter block, blade movement, and feeding behavior. The cutter block must meet the manual-feed requirements and be marked MAN, and compliance is checked by inspection together with EN 847-1:2017. Blade projection is measured before and after running tests at operating speeds, so the reader understands that stability of the cutter assembly matters, not just its initial setup.
The thicknesser requirements are also tightened. Thicknessers must have an automatic feeding mechanism with infeed and outfeed rollers, and the infeed rollers must feed the workpiece without extra operator assistance beyond guidance. In practice, this reduces the chance of unsafe hand-feeding and makes the machine behavior easier to verify during inspection.
Noise and vibration
Annex I is made normative for measuring noise and vibration emissions. That matters because declared emission values are not just descriptive - they become part of the compliance evidence and the comparison data used by buyers and assessors.
Battery safety
Annex K and Annex L add a mandatory isolation device or disabling device requirement for tools with an integral battery. The device must prevent injury during servicing or user maintenance, prevent unintended starting, and provide clear state indication and protection against accidental reconnection. For product design and servicing, this means the energy source must be controllable and visibly safe to handle.
Who uses SIST EN IEC 62841-3-3:2026/A11:2026?
SIST EN IEC 62841-3-3:2026/A11:2026 is used by manufacturers of transportable planers and thicknessers, especially those designing or certifying woodworking machines. It is also used by safety engineers, quality managers, test laboratories, and conformity assessment teams that check marking, instructions, noise data, mechanical safety, and battery-related safeguards. Buyers and specifiers in the woodworking machinery sector use it to compare products and to check what evidence a supplier should provide.
What changed in SIST EN IEC 62841-3-3:2026/A11:2026 from the previous edition?
SIST EN IEC 62841-3-3:2026/A11:2026 modifies EN IEC 62841-3-3:2026 by adding common modifications in these areas:
- Clause 2 - adds EN 847-1:2017 as a normative reference.
- Clause 8 - revises instructions for push-stick use and noise-emission information.
- Clause 19 - updates cutter-block and blade-stability requirements, reverse-movement testing, and automatic feeding for thicknessers.
- Annex I - makes noise and vibration measurement normative.
- Annex K and Annex L - add isolation/disabling device requirements for integral-battery tools.
- Annex ZA - adds the European reference list for cited international publications.
- Annex ZZ - adds the correspondence with Regulation (EU) 2023/1230.
Which standards are used with SIST EN IEC 62841-3-3:2026/A11:2026?
SIST EN IEC 62841-3-3:2026/A11:2026 is used with the Part 1 requirements for the series:
- EN 62841-1:2015
- EN 62841-1:2015/A11:2022
- EN 62841-1:2015/A1:2025
It also names EN 847-1:2017 for woodworking tools, ISO 180:2023 in Annex ZA, and EN ISO 12100 as the basis for the overall safety approach. Together, these standards support the design, testing, and documentation of transportable planers and thicknessers.
What does the SIST EN IEC 62841-3-3:2026/A11:2026 document contain?
SIST EN IEC 62841-3-3:2026/A11:2026 is a clause-by-clause amendment, not a full standalone product standard. It contains revised wording for instructions, safety-related figure details in Clause 19, a normative annex for noise and vibration measurement, and battery-safety requirements for servicing and prevention of unintended start-up. It also includes a legal cross-reference annex that links selected clauses to essential requirements of Regulation (EU) 2023/1230.

“
3) The following information:
— that the declared noise emission value(s) have been measured in accordance with a standard test
method and may be used for comparing one tool with another;
— that the declared noise emission value(s) may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
4) A warning:
— that the noise emissions during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared values
depending on the ways in which the tool is used especially what kind of workpiece is processed; and
— of the need to identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based on an estimation of
exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the
times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).”
