163 Part 1: General requirements
166 FOREWORD
167 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national
168 electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all
169 questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities,
170 IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS)
171 and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC
172 National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International,
173 governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC
174 collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined
175 by agreement between the two organizations.
176 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus
177 of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National
178 Committees.
179 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees
180 in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate,
181 IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user.
182 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently
183 to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication
184 and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
185 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity assessment
186 services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services carried out by
187 independent certification bodies.
188 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
189 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of
190 its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any
191 nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication,
192 use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
193 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable
194 for the correct application of this publication.
195 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights.
196 IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
197 International Standard IEC 62841-1 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 116: Safety of
198 motor-operated electric tools.
199 This second edition is scheduled to cancel and replace the first edition published in 2014, of which it
200 constitutes a technical revision. It introduces a new structure with the requirements organized
201 dependent on the power source and includes the following significant technical changes with respect
202 to the first edition of IEC 62841-1:
203 − the maximum fully charged battery input voltage for tools and battery packs has been increased
204 from 75 V d.c. to 250 V d.c. in the scope of Annex B;
205 − restructuring and revision of Clause 18, Clause A.18 and Clause B.18;
206 − new requirements in Annex B for permitting the use of battery-operated tools in the rain, cleaning
207 battery-operated tools with low-pressure water and immersion of battery-operated tools in water
208 to a depth of up to 1 m for cleaning;
209 − revised Annex C; and
210 − new Annexes D, J, M, N, O, P, Q and R.

212 The text of this document is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
116/xxx/FDIS 116/xxx/RVD
214 Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on voting
215 indicated in the above table.
216 This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
217 This Part 1 is to be used in conjunction with the appropriate parts of IEC 62841-2, IEC 62841-3 or
218 IEC 62841-4 which contain clauses that supplement or modify the corresponding clauses in Part 1 to
219 provide the relevant requirements for each type of product.
220 Individual countries may wish to consider the application of this Part 1 of IEC 62841, so far as is
221 reasonable, to tools not mentioned in an individual part of IEC 62841-2, IEC 62841-3 or IEC 62841-4
222 and to tools designed on new principles.
223 NOTE 1 In this document, the following print types are used:
224 – requirements: in roman type
225 – test specification: in italic type
226 – Notes: in smaller roman type
227 Words in bold in the text are defined in Clause 3. When a definition concerns an adjective, the adjective and the associated
228 noun are also in bold.
229 NOTE 2 In Annexes A, B. F, G, J and R, subclauses and notes which are additional to those in the main body of the document
230 are numbered starting from 201.
231 A list of all parts of the IEC 62841 series, under the general title: Electric motor-operated hand-held
232 tools, transportable tools and lawn and garden machinery – Safety, can be found on the IEC website.
233 The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until the stability
234 date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to the specific
235 publication. At this date, the publication will be
236 − • reconfirmed,
237 − • withdrawn,
238 − • replaced by a revised edition, or
239 − • amended.
240 The National Committees are requested to note that for this publication the stability date is 2030.
241 THIS TEXT IS INCLUDED FOR THE INFORMATION OF THE NATIONAL COMMITTEES AND WILL BE DELETED AT THE
242 PUBLICATION STAGE.
243 NOTE 3 The attention of National Committees is drawn to the fact that equipment manufacturers and testing organizations
244 may need a transitional period following publication of a new, amended or revised IEC publication in which to make products
245 in accordance with the new requirements and to equip themselves for conducting new or revised tests.
246 It is the recommendation of the committee that the content of this publication be adopted for implementation nationally not
247 earlier than 36 months from the date of publication.
248 NOTE 4 In Europe (EN IEC 62841-1), the following additional paragraph applies:
249 When a relevant Part 2, 3, or 4 does not exist, this document can be used to support the risk assessment process in order to
250 establish requirements for the tool.
