Overview
EN 61029-1:2000/A12:2003 is Amendment A12 to the European standard EN 61029-1:2000 covering safety of transportable motor‑operated electric tools - Part 1: General requirements. Published by CENELEC in 2003 and later converted to a CLC legacy entry by DCLab NISOSTS (2021), this amendment specifically extends the standard to address tools intended to be connected to a water supply. Note: this edition has been superseded by EN 61029-1:2009.
Key Topics and Requirements
- Scope extension: The standard explicitly applies to transportable motor‑operated tools intended for connection to a water supply.
- New definition: Introduces the term PRCD (portable residual current device).
- Marking and user information (7.13): For tools connected to water, manufacturers must provide instructions for:
- correct water connection and use,
- inspection of hoses and critical parts,
- maximum permitted water pressure,
- mandatory use of supplied PRCD or isolating transformer where applicable,
- replacement of plug or supply cord only by manufacturer/service,
- keeping water off electrical parts and away from people.
- Ingress protection and moisture resistance (14.5):
- Tools (except Class III) intended for water supply must maintain electrical insulation when used as recommended.
- Compliance is verified by an operational test: tool powered at 1.06 × rated voltage for 5 minutes in the most unfavourable position while monitoring leakage current (per clause 12.2). No appreciable water ingress or water on specified insulation surfaces is allowed.
- Construction (20.22): Tools for water supply must be:
- Class III; or
- Class II used with an isolating transformer and supplied with a plug per EN 60309-2 (earthing contact position 12 h, earth pin not connected); or
- Class II or Class I with Class II construction and provided with a PRCD (sensitivity ≤ 30 mA). PRCDs must not open the protective conductor when tripping and may be incorporated in tool, cord, plug, or a separate control box. PRCDs in cord/plug/box require at least IPX4 water protection.
- Supply cord (23.2): Cords for water‑connected tools must be at least ordinary polychloroprene‑sheathed flexible cord (H05 RN‑F).
Applications and Users
This amendment is essential for:
- manufacturers and designers of transportable electric tools (pressure washers, wet grinders, stone‑cutting tools, etc.) that may be connected to water,
- product safety engineers creating manuals and markings,
- test laboratories conducting ingress and leakage tests,
- conformity assessors and regulatory authorities ensuring compliance with electrical safety requirements,
- procurement and facilities managers specifying safe equipment for wet environments.
Related Standards
- EN 60309-2 (plugs and socket-outlets) - referenced for plug requirements
- HD 639 S1:2002 / IEC 61540 (PRCDs) - normative reference for portable residual current devices
This amendment strengthens electrical safety, marking, and construction rules specifically for water‑connected transportable motor‑operated electric tools, focusing on PRCD use, moisture resistance testing, and minimum cord and plug specifications. Keywords: safety, transportable motor‑operated electric tools, PRCD, ingress protection, water supply, EN 61029-1.
