European foreword
This document (EN 62841-1:2015/A11:2022) has been prepared by CLC/TC 116 ”Safety and
environmental aspects of motor-operated electric tools”.
The following dates are fixed:
• latest date by which this document has to be (dop) 2023–03–14
implemented at national level by publication of
an identical national standard or by
endorsement
• latest date by which the national standards (dow) 2025–03–14
conflicting with this document have to be
withdrawn
This document will amend EN 62841-1:2015.
This amendment was developed to correct the determination of the emission sound pressure level for
hand-held tools. Since the title of Annex I is “Measurement of noise and vibration emission”, the
requirements for noise and vibration reduction are transferred to Clause 21. In addition, the Annex ZZ
is replaced with a detailed one. And Annex ZA and Clause 2 are replaced in order to have only dated
normative references.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document has been prepared under a Standardization Request given to CENELEC by the
European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements
of EU Directive(s) / Regulation(s).
For relationship with EU Directive(s) / Regulation(s), see informative Annex ZZ, which is an integral part
of this document.
Any feedback and questions on this document should be directed to the users’ national committee. A
complete listing of these bodies can be found on the CENELEC website.

5 Modification to Clause 8, “Marking and instructions”
In 8.12, replace the existing NOTE at the end of the 5th paragraph, the 6th, 7th and the 8th paragraph
with the following:

NOTE 1 The designation “n-hexane” is the chemical nomenclature for a “normal” or straight chain hydrocarbon.
An example of this petroleum spirit is also known as a certified ACS (American Chemical Society) reagent grade
hexane (CAS #110-54-3).
If the marking has an adhesive backing, the adhesive backing shall be durable.
Compliance is checked by either meeting the requirements of Annex ZB or by the following tests.
Three labels applied to the tools or a panel of the test surface material are placed in an oven
for a minimum of 24 h with the oven maintained at a temperature of (120 ± 2) °C, or alternatively
for a minimum of 200 h at the temperature that the label is exposed to during the test of
Clause 12.
Six additional labels applied to the tool or a panel of the test surface material are placed in a
controlled atmosphere maintained at 21 °C to 30 °C with a relative humidity of minimum 45 %
for at least 24 h. After this conditioning, immerse three labels in water and the other three labels
in IRM 903 oil at a temperature of 21 °C to 30 °C for 48 h.
Three additional labels applied to the tool or a panel of the test surface material are placed in
a controlled atmosphere maintained at 21 °C to 30 °C with a relative humidity of minimum 45 %
for 72 h.
After these conditionings, it shall not be easy to remove the label by scraping across the label with a flat
steel blade of 0,8 mm thickness and any convenient width, held at right angles, and the label shall show
no signs of curling.

In 8.14.2 Za), replace the item 1 with the following:

1) The noise emission, measured in accordance with I.2, as follows:

— A-weighted emission sound pressure level L and its uncertainty K , where L exceeds
pA pA pA
70 dB(A).
Where L does not exceed 70 dB(A), this fact shall be indicated;
pA
— A-weighted sound power level L and its uncertainty K , where the A-weighted emission
WA WA
sound pressure level L exceeds 80 dB(A);
pA
— C-weighted peak emission sound pressure level L , where this exceeds 130 dB in relation
pC,peak
to 20 µPa.

6 Additions to Clause 21, “Construction”
Add the following new subclauses after 21.35:
“21.Z1  Noise reduction
Noise reduction of tools is an integral part of the design process and shall be achieved by particularly
applying measures at source to control noise, see for example EN ISO 11688-1:2009. The success of
the applied noise reduction measures is assessed on the basis of the actual noise emission values,
measured in accordance with I.2, in relation to other machines of the same type with comparable non
acoustical technical data.
The major sound sources of tools are: motor, fan, gear and the accessory.
21.Z2  Vibration reduction
The vibration at the handles shall be kept as low as possible without unduly affecting the performance
or the ergonomics (weight, handling, etc.) of the tool.
In particular, vibration shall be reduced by the application of engineering measures as given in
CR 1030-1:1995. The success of the applied vibration measures is assessed by comparing the vibration
levels for the tool, measured in accordance with I.3, with those for other tools of the same type and with
a comparable specification and performance.”
7 Modification to Clause 24, “Supply connection and external flexible cords”

8 Modifications to Annex I, “Measurement of noise and vibration emissions”
Replace the existing Subclause I.2.Z1 with the following:
“Delete the NOTE before I.2.1.”
Replace the existing Subclause I.2.3.1 with the following:
“I.2.3.1  Hand-held tools
The A-weighted emission sound pressure level at the work station, LpA, shall be determined in
accordance with EN ISO 11203:2009 as follows:
LpA = LWA - Q
where Q = 8 dB.
NOTE 1 This value of Q has been determined, during experimental investigations, to be applicable to hand-
held power tools. The resulting A-weighted emission sound pressure level at the workstation is equivalent to the
value of the surface sound pressure level at a distance of 0,7 m from the power tool. This distance has been chosen
to give satisfactory reproducibility of results, and to permit comparison of the acoustic performance of different
hand-held power tools, which do not, in general, have uniquely defined work stations. Under free field conditions,
where it could be required to estimate the emission sound pressure level, L , at a distance r from the geometric
pA,r1 1
centre of the power tool, this can be done by applying the formula:

0, 7m
LpA,r1 = LpA + 20 lg dB


r

1
NOTE 2 At any given position in relation to a particular machine, and for given mounting and operating
conditions, the emission sound pressure levels determined by the method of this document will in general be lower
than the directly measured sound pressure levels for the same machine in the typical workroom where it is used.
This is due to the influence of sound reflecting surfaces in the workroom compared to the free field conditions of
the test specified here. A method of calculating the sound pressure levels in the vicinity of a machine operating
alone in a workroom is given in ISO/TR 11690-3. Commonly observed differences are 1 dB to 5 dB, but in extreme
cases the difference might be even greater.
If required, the C-weighted peak emission sound pressure level LpC,peak shall be measured at each of
the five measurement positions specified in I.2.2. The C-weighted peak emission sound pressure level
at the work station is the highest C-weighted peak emission sound pressure level measured at any of
the five microphone positions; no corrections are permitted.”
Replace the existing Subclause I.2.9 with the following:
“The declaration of the noise emission values shall be a dual number according to EN ISO 4871:2009.
It shall declare the noise emission value L (LpA and LWA) and the respective uncertainty K (KpA and KWA).
If required, the C-weighted emission peak sound pressure level LpC,peak shall be given.
NOTE 1 For a standard deviation of reproducibility of the method σ of 1,5 dB and for a typical standard
R0
deviation of production, the values for the uncertainties, KpA and KWA respectively, are expected to be 3 dB,
particularly for tools tested at no-load. For tests done under load, the uncertainty can be higher.
The noise declaration shall state that the noise emission values have been obtained according to this
noise test code. If this statement is not true, the noise declaration shall indicate clearly what the
deviations from this standard, and from the basic standards, are.
NOTE 2 If the measured value is the average based on a sample of three power tools that has been properly
sampled, then K normally is 3 dB. Further guidance on sampling and uncertainty terms is given in EN 27574-4:1988
and EN ISO 4871:2009.“
Replace the existing Subclause I.3.Z1 with the following:
“Delete the NOTE before I.3.1.”

10 European foreword
11 This document (EN 62841-1:2015/prAB:2020) has been prepared by CLC/TC 116 ” Safety of motor-
12 operated electric tools”.
13 This document is currently submitted to the Enquiry.
14 The following dates are proposed:
• latest date by which the existence of this (doa) dor + 6 months
document has to be announced at national
level
• latest date by which this document has to be (dop) dor + 12 months
implemented at national level by publication of
an identical national standard or by
endorsement
• latest date by which the national standards (dow) dor + 24 months
conflicting with this document have to be (to be confirmed or
withdrawn modified when voting)
15 This document will amend EN 62841-1:2015.
16 This amendment was developed to correct the determination of the emission sound pressure level for
17 hand-held tools. Since the title of Annex I is “Measurement of noise and vibration emission”, the
18 requirements for noise and vibration reduction are transferred to Clause 21. In addition, the Annex ZZ
19 is replaced with a detailed one. And Annex ZA and Clause 2 are replaced in order to have only dated
20 normative references.
21 This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CENELEC by the European Commission
22 and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).
23 For the relationship with EU Directive(s) see informative Annex ZZ, which is an integral part of this
24 document.

EN 62841-1:2015/prAB:2020 (E)
25 1 Modification of Clause 2, “Normative references”
26 Replace the existing Clause 2 with the following:
27 “2 Normative references
28 Add the following normative references:
29 CR 1030-1:1995, Hand-arm vibration - Guidelines for vibration hazards reduction - Part 1: Engineering
30 methods by design of machinery
31 EN ISO 11688-1:2009, Acoustics - Recommended practice for the design of low-noise machinery and
32 equipment - Part 1: Planning (ISO/TR 11688-1:1995)”
33 2 Additions to Clause 21, “Construction”
34 Add the following new subclauses after Subclause 21.35:
35 “21.Z1 Noise reduction
36 Noise reduction at tools is an integral part of the design process and shall be achieved by particularly
37 applying measures at source to control noise, see for example EN ISO 11688-1. The success of the
38 applied noise reduction measures is assessed on the basis of the actual noise emission values,
39 measured in accordance with I.2, in relation to other machines of the same type with comparable non
40 acoustical technical data.
41 The major sound sources of tools are: motor, fan, gear.
42 21.Z2 Vibration reduction
43 The vibration at the handles shall be kept as low as possible without unduly affecting the performance
44 and the ergonomics (weight, handling, etc.) of the tool.
45 In particular vibration shall be reduced by the application of engineering measures as given in
46 CR 1030-1. The success of the applied vibration measures is assessed by comparing the vibration
47 levels for the tool, measured in accordance with I.3, with those for other tools of the same type and with
48 a comparable specification and performance.”
49 3 Modifications to Annex I, “Measurement of noise and vibration emissions”
50 Replace the existing Subclause I.2.Z1 with the following:
51 “Delete the NOTE before I.2.1.”
52 Replace the existing Subclause I.2.3.1 with the following:
53 “I.2.3.1 Hand-held tools
54 The A-weighted emission sound pressure level at the work station, L , shall be determined in
pA
55 accordance with ISO 11203 as follows:
56 L = L - Q, in dB
pA WA
57 where Q = 8, in dB.
58 NOTE 1 This value of Q has been determined, during experimental investigations, to be applicable to hand-
59 held power tools. The resulting A-weighted emission sound pressure level at the workstation is equivalent to the
60 value of the surface sound pressure level at a distance of 0,7 m from the power tool. This distance has been chosen
61 to give satisfactory reproducibility of results, and to permit comparison of the acoustic performance of different
62 hand-held power tools, which do not, in general, have uniquely defined work stations. Under free field conditions,
63 where it could be required to estimate the emission sound pressure level, L , at a distance r in m from the
pA,r1 1
64 geometric centre of the power tool, this can be done by applying the formula:
1
65 L = L + 20 lg ( ), in dB

EN 62841-1:2015/prAB:2020 (E)
66 NOTE 2 At any given position in relation to a particular machine, and for given mounting and operating
67 conditions, the emission sound pressure levels determined by the method of this document will in general be lower
68 than the directly measured sound pressure levels for the same machine in the typical workroom where it is used.
69 This is due to the influence of sound reflecting surfaces in the workroom compared to the free field conditions of
70 the test specified here. A method of calculating the sound pressure levels in the vicinity of a machine operating
71 alone in a workroom is given in ISO/TR 11690-3. Commonly observed differences are 1 dB to 5 dB, but in extreme
72 cases the difference might be even greater.
73 If required, the C-weighted peak emission sound pressure level L shall be measured at each of
pCpeak
74 the five measurement positions specified in I.2.2. The C-weighted peak emission sound pressure level
75 at the work station is the highest C-weighted peak sound pressure level measured at any of the five
76 microphone positions; no corrections are permitted.”
77 Replace the existing Subclause I.3.Z1 with the following:
78 “Delete the NOTE before I.3.1.”
79 4 Replacement of the Annex ZA, “Normative references to international
80 publications with their corresponding European publications”
81 Replace the existing Annex ZA with the following:
