Overview
EN 62841-3-4:2016/A11:2017 (CLC) specifies safety requirements for transportable bench grinders - a subset of electric motor‑operated hand‑held tools, transportable tools and lawn and garden machinery. The standard covers bench grinders fitted with one or two accessories: type 1 grinding wheels (ISO 603‑4), wire brushes or polishing (buffing) wheels with a maximum diameter of 310 mm and a maximum thickness of 55 mm, and accessories operating at peripheral speeds between 10 m/s and 50 m/s. Amendment A11 (2017) updates requirements on guards, transparent screens and marking/instructions.
Key Topics and Requirements
- Scope of accessories: Accepts grinding wheels (ISO 603‑4), wire brushes and polishing wheels (buffing wheels) within the specified diameters/thickness and peripheral speeds.
- Guards and screens:
- Guards and transparent screens must not be removable without the aid of a tool, aligning bench grinder requirements with Part 1.
- Transparent screens must be adjustable, meet minimum dimensions (see Figure 103 in the standard), and be made of shatter‑resistant material such as polycarbonate or laminated glass.
- Screens must be mounted so the screen’s symmetrical axis coincides with the vertical median plane of the grinding wheel or wire brush.
- Marking and instructions (noise):
- Declared noise emission values must be measured using a standard test method and may be used to compare tools and for preliminary exposure assessment.
- Manuals must include warnings that actual noise during use may differ and operators must assess exposure based on actual operating conditions.
- Vibration declaration:
- Amendment A11 removes the requirement for declaring vibration values for transportable bench grinders because vibration is not required to be measured for these tools.
- Mechanical hazard details:
- Changes were made to subclauses (19.1, 19.1.103) and drawing updates (Figure 102) to clarify guard dimensions, clearances and adjustment behavior.
Applications and Who Uses This Standard
- Manufacturers of transportable bench grinders use the standard to design and certify machines that meet European safety rules.
- Test laboratories and conformity assessment bodies reference EN 62841-3-4 for inspection and compliance testing (guards, screens, markings).
- Safety engineers, compliance officers and procurement teams use it to specify safe equipment for workshops, vocational training centers and mobile maintenance operations.
- Regulatory bodies and notified bodies rely on the standard to support essential requirements of EU directives.
