The following dates are fixed: latest date by which this document has to be implemented at n
22、ational level by publication of an identical national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2014-12-20 latest date by which the national standards conflicting with this document have to be withdrawn (dow) 2016-09-02 This document supersedes EN 60335-2-91:2003. EN 60335-2-91:2013 includes the following si
23、gnificant technical changes: rewording of some clauses; alignment to EN 60335-1:2012; improvement of Clause 20.102. This document is to be used in conjunction with EN 60335-1:2012, “Household and similar electrical appliances Safety Part 1: General requirements”. When “Part 1” is mentioned in this s
24、tandard, it refers to EN 60335-1:2012. This document supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in Part 1, so as to convert that publication into the European Standard “Safety requirements for walk-behind and hand-held lawn trimmers and lawn edge trimmers”. Where a particular subclause of Par
25、t 1 is not mentioned in document, that subclause applies as far as is relevant. Where this standard states “addition”, “modification” or “replacement”, the relevant text in Part 1 is to be adapted accordingly. Compliance with the relevant clauses of Part 1 together with this document provides one me
26、ans of conforming to the specified essential health and safety requirements of the Directive. This European Standard follows the overall requirements of EN ISO 12100. Warning: Other requirements arising from other EU Directives can be applicable to the products falling within the scope of this Europ
27、ean Standard. The following numbering system is used: subclauses that are numbered starting from 101 are additional to those in Part 1; additional annexes are lettered AA, BB, etc.; NOTE In this European Standard the following print types are used: - requirements proper: in roman type; - test specif
28、ications: in italic type; - explanatory matter: in smaller roman type. Words in bold in the text are defined in clause 3. When a definition concerns an adjective, the adjective and the associated noun are also in bold. BS EN 50636-2-91:2014- 5 - EN 50636-2-91:2014 Attention is drawn to the possibili
29、ty that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CENELEC and/or CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

BS EN 50636-2-91:2014EN 50636-2-91:2014 - 6 - Introduction This document is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100.
31、 The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered is as indicated in the scope of this document. When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B standards, the provisions of this type C standard take
32、 precedence over the other standards, for machines which have been built and designed to the provisions of this type C standard. BS EN 50636-2-91:2014- 7 - EN 50636-2-91:2014 1 Scope This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following. This European Standard specifies safety requirements and their ve
33、rification for the design and construction of electric powered walk-behind and hand-held lawn trimmers and lawn edge trimmers, with cutting element(s) of non-metallic filament line or freely pivoting non-metallic cutter(s), with a kinetic energy of not more than 10 J each, used by a standing operato
34、r for cutting grass, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for a.c. or 75 V d.c NOTE 101 The method of calculating the kinetic energy for the purposes of this standard is given in 22.103. In this European Standard, hand-held and walk-behind lawn trimmers and lawn edge trimmers are referred t
35、o collectively as machine(s). This European Standard does not apply to scissor type or lawn trimmers and lawn edge trimmers with cutting means other than those described above; lawn trimmers and lawn edge trimmers with collecting devices; self-propelled lawn trimmers or lawn edge trimmers; EMC and e
36、nvironmental aspects, except noise, have not been considered in this European Standard. This European Standard does not apply to chargers as covered by EN 60335-2-29. This European Standard does not apply to batteries as covered by EN 62133. This European Standard deals with all the significant haza
37、rds presented by hand-held and walk-behind lawn trimmers and lawn edge trimmers when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable. 2 Normative references This clause of Part 1 is applicable except as follows.
