Overview
EN 60745-2-6:2010/prAA:2012 is a CENELEC draft amendment to the handheld tools safety standard that addresses dust measurement for hammers. Prepared by CLC/TC 116, Annex ZC (normative) was added to Part 2-6 to define the scope, test procedures and reporting requirements for inhalable and respirable dust emitted by rotary and percussion hammers. The amendment supports essential safety requirements and harmonises measurement methods used for exposure assessment and product compliance.
Key Topics
- Scope and normative references: Annex ZC applies specifically to dust measurement from hammers and references EN 10080 for reinforcing steel used in test blocks.
- Test procedures: The amendment adds detailed test conditions for both rotary and percussion hammers, including material, setup and operating conditions.
- Rotary hammers: use a concrete block (min. 500 mm x 500 mm x 200 mm), cured 28 days then stored three weeks dry; block placed on an A-support at 15° with lower workpiece support (1 000 ± 50) mm above floor; drilling locations rectangular to the surface; new drill bit for each test and feed force sufficient for stable operation. Test hole sizes and counts are specified by tool mass (see Table ZC.102).
- Percussion hammers: use reinforced concrete blocks (min. 500 mm x 800 mm x 200 mm) with two layers of six Ø12 mm rebars (B500B) per EN 10080; cured and stored as above. Tests call for chiselling until rebars are separated; one test comprises four cycles of 10 min work and 5 min rest.
- Mass measurement: Tool mass is measured without accessories and flexible cable, but including any auxiliary handle.
- Reporting requirements: Test reports must include the mean value for the concentration of respirable dust as well as other applicable results.
Applications
This amendment and its dust-measurement protocol are intended for:
- Manufacturers validating dust control and collection systems on rotary and percussion hammers.
- Test laboratories performing standardized exposure and emissions testing for tool certification.
- Safety and compliance teams assessing operator exposure to inhalable and respirable dust and documenting conformity with EU requirements.
- Product designers and R&D teams optimizing dust extraction, bit selection and operational guidance to reduce airborne dust.
Benefits include consistent exposure data, improved comparability across products, and clearer reporting requirements that support regulatory compliance and safer tool use.
Related Standards
- EN 60745-2-6:2010 (Part 2-6) - base standard for particular requirements for hammers.
- EN 60745-1 (Part 1) - general safety requirements for hand-held motor-operated electric tools (refer to Part 1 for common clauses referenced in Annex ZC).
- EN 10080 - referenced for reinforcing steel (B500B) used in percussion-hammer test blocks.
- CENELEC/CENELEC TC 116 documents and mandates related to machine safety and harmonization.
For manufacturers and test labs, EN 60745-2-6:2010/prAA:2012 clarifies the dust measurement workflow and reporting needed to evaluate hammer emissions and protect operator health.
