IEC 62841-4-3-2020 Electric motor-operated hand-held tools, transportable tools and lawn and garden machinery – Safety – Part 4-3: Particular requirements for pedestrian controlled walk-behind lawnmowers.
This clause of Part 1 is applicable, except as follows:
Addition:
This document applies to the design of pedestrian controlled walk-behind
– cylinder lawnmowers; and
– rotary lawnmowers equipped with
– metallic cutting means; and/or
– rigid non-metallic cutting means; and/or
– non-metallic cutting means with one or more cutting elements pivotally mounted on a generally circular drive unit, where these cutting elements rely on centrifugal force to achieve cutting, and have a kinetic energy for each single cutting element of greater than 1 0 J.
NOTE 1 01 Machines that have non-metallic cutting means and a kinetic energy for each single cutting element of less than or equal to 1 0 J are considered to be lawn trimmers.
This document does not apply to
– robotic lawnmowers;
– remote-controlled lawnmowers;
– flail mowers or flail-type attachments;
– scissors type lawnmowers;
– grassland mowers;
– sickle bar mowers;
– towed/semi-mounted grass-cutting machines;
– scrub-clearing machines;
– lawn trimmers and lawn edge trimmers;
– lawn edgers;
– grass trimmers;
– brush cutters;
– brush saws;
– agricultural mowers;
– trailing seat/sulky units;
– ride-on machines;
– non-powered lawnmowers;
– combustion engine powered lawnmowers;
– hybrid and fuel cell powered machines and associated charging systems; and
– garden tractors or their attachments.
NOTE 1 02 Robotic lawnmowers are covered by IEC 60335-2-1 07, and will be covered by a future part of
IEC 62841 .
NOTE 1 03 Lawn trimmers and lawn edge trimmers are covered by IEC 60335-2-91 .
NOTE 1 04 Lawn trimmers, lawn edge trimmers, grass trimmers, brush cutters and brush saws will be covered by a future part of IEC 62841 .
NOTE 1 05 Lawn edgers will be covered by a future part of IEC 62841 .
