16、his European Standard has been prepared by Technical Committee TC 61F, Hand-held and transportable electric motor operated tools. A first draft was submitted to the Unique Acceptance Procedure (UAP) in August 1996. A second draft was submitted to the formal vote in September 2000 and was approved by
17、 CENELEC as EN 50144-2-13 on 2001-01-01. This European Standard supersedes HD 400.3L S2:1988.

18、hich the national standards conflicting with the EN have to be withdrawn (dow) 2004-01-01 This standard is divided into two parts: Part 1: General requirements which are common to most hand-held electric motor operated tools (for the purpose of this standard referred to simply as tools). Part 2: Req
19、uirements for particular types of tool which either supplement or modify the requirements given in Part 1 to account for the particular hazards and characteristics of these specific tools. This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN/CENELEC by the European Commission and th
20、e European Free Trade Association and supports the essential health and safety requirements of the Machinery Directive. Compliance with the clauses of Part 1 together with this part 2 provides one means of conforming with the essential health and safety requirements of the Directive. As with any sta
21、ndard, technical progress will be kept under review so that any developments can be taken into account. CEN/TC 114 is producing standards for petrol engined chain saws (EN 608). Warning: Other requirements and other EC Directives can be applicable to the products falling within the scope of this sta
22、ndard. This standard follows the overall requirements of EN 292-1 and EN 292-2. Subclauses, tables and figures which are additional to those in Part 1 are numbered starting from 101.
