Electric Motor-Operated Hand-Held Tools, Transportable Tools and Lawn and Garden Machinery - Safety - Part 2-2: Particular requirements for hand-held screwdrivers and impact wrenches
IEC 62841-2-2:2014 deals with the safety of electric motor-operated or magnetically driven hand-held screwdrivers and impact wrenches. The rated voltage is not more than 250 V for single-phase a.c. or d.c. tools, and 480 V for three-phase a.c. tools. The rated input is not more than 3 700 W. The limits for the applicability of this standard for battery tools is given in Annex K. This standard deals with the hazards presented by tools which are encountered by all persons in the normal use and reasonably foreseeable misuse of the tools. Hand-held electric tools, which can be mounted on a support or working stand for use as fixed tools without any alteration of the tool itself, are within the scope of this standard and such combination of a hand-held tool and a support is considered to be a transportable tool and thus covered by the relevant Part 3. This Part 2-2 is to be used in conjunction with the first edition of IEC 62841-1. The attention of National Committees is drawn to the fact that equipment manufacturers and testing organizations may need a transitional period following publication of a new, amended or revised IEC publication in which to make products in accordance with the new requirements and to equip themselves for conducting new or revised tests. It is the recommendation of the committee that the content of this publication be adopted for implementation nationally not earlier than 36 months from the date of publication.

Outils électroportatifs à moteur, outils portables et machines pour jardins et pelouses - Sécurité - Partie 2-2: Règles particulières pour les visseuses et les clés à chocs portatives (IEC 62841-2-2:2014, modifiée)
L'IEC 62841-2-2:2014 traite de la sécurité des outils électroportatifs à moteur ou à entraînement magnétique, visseuses et aux clés à chocs protatives. La tension assignée est inférieure à 250 V pour les outils à courant monophasé alternatif ou continu, et inférieure à 480 V pour les outils à courant alternatif triphasé. La tension assignée est inférieure à 3 700 W. Les limites d'application de la présente Norme aux outils fonctionnant sur batterie sont indiquées dans l'annexe K. Les outils électroportatifs, qui peuvent être montés sur un support de travail pour être utilisés comme outils installés à poste fixe sans aucune modification de l'outil lui-même, sont compris dans le domaine d'application de la présente Norme et la combinaison d'un outil portatif et d'un support est considérée comme un outil portable, donc couvert par la Partie 3 applicable. La présente Partie 2-2 est à utiliser conjointement avec la première édition de la CEI 62841-1. L'attention des Comités Nationaux est attirée sur le fait que les fabricants d'appareils et les organismes d'essai peuvent avoir besoin d'une période transitoire après la publication d'une nouvelle publication CEI, ou d'une publication amendée ou révisée, pour fabriquer des produits conformes aux nouvelles exigences et pour adapter leurs équipements aux nouveaux essais ou aux essais révisés. Le comité recommande que le contenu de cette publication soit entériné au niveau national au plus tôt 36 mois après la date de publication.

Overview
EN 62841-2-2:2014 (adopted from IEC 62841-2-2:2014, modified) specifies safety requirements for electric motor‑operated or magnetically driven hand‑held screwdrivers and impact wrenches. The standard covers tools with rated voltages up to 250 V for single‑phase a.c. or d.c., 480 V for three‑phase a.c., and rated input up to 3 700 W. Limits for battery‑operated tools are addressed in Annex K. This Part 2-2 is intended to be used together with EN/IEC 62841‑1 (general requirements).
Key topics and technical requirements
The document supplements/modifies Part 1 and addresses hazards and characteristics specific to screwdrivers and impact wrenches, including:
- Scope and classification of covered tools and transportable combinations (hand‑held tools mounted on supports may be treated as transportable or Part 3 items).
- Marking and instructions required for safe use, maintenance and conformity.
- Protection against access to live parts, starting, input/current and overload protection.
- Thermal requirements: heating, moisture resistance, resistance to rusting, resistance to heat/fire.
- Mechanical hazards and strength: mechanical strength, construction, screws and connections.
- Endurance and abnormal operation tests and performance levels.
- Noise and vibration measurement (Annex I), with test fixtures and transducer positions for screwdrivers and impact wrenches.
- Battery tools and battery packs normative guidance (Annex K).
- Normative references and relationship to EU legislation (Annex ZA / ZZ - Machinery Directive coverage).
Practical applications
EN 62841-2-2 is used for:
- Designing and developing safer handheld screwdrivers and impact wrenches.
- Establishing test programs for product validation (endurance, abnormal operation, vibration/noise).

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.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other I
