Overview
SIST EN 60745-2-6:2010/oprAA:2013 specifies the safety requirements for hand-held motor-operated electric hammers. Developed by the Slovenian Institute for Standardization (SIST) in alignment with CENELEC directives, this document applies to both rotary and percussion hammers. The standard introduces particular requirements focusing on dust emission and measurement, supporting the essential health and safety needs set by the EU and the European Free Trade Association.
This amendment (prAA) is an enquiry draft that will update EN 60745-2-6:2010, with an added focus on the measurement of inhalable and respirable dust generated during hammer operation. The requirements help minimize exposure to harmful dust, ensuring safer working conditions for operators and compliance with regulatory directives.
Key Topics
- Safety Requirements for Hammers: Establishes specific safety measures for different types of electric hammers, including rotary and percussion models.
- Dust Measurement Procedures: Adds essential protocols for measuring inhalable and respirable dust emitted during tool operation, addressing occupational exposure risks.
- Testing Conditions: Specifies standardized test conditions and set-ups for both rotary and percussion hammers, including material specifications, tool settings, and feed forces.
- Reporting and Documentation: Mandates that test reports must include mean values for respirable dust concentration, enhancing transparency and compliance.
- Additional Instructions: Clarifies operational adjustments and reporting modifications to ensure uniform interpretation and application of the amended requirements.
Applications
The requirements of SIST EN 60745-2-6:2010/oprAA:2013 are crucial for manufacturers, importers, and users of hand-held electric hammers in various industries, especially:
- Construction: Ensures electric hammers used on-site minimize dust exposure, promoting safer environments for workers when drilling or chiseling concrete.
- Manufacturing: Guides tool manufacturers in designing products that meet strict European safety and dust emission standards, facilitating market acceptance.
- Occupational Health and Safety: Offers clear criteria for evaluating electric hammers' dust emissions, assisting workplace safety professionals in risk assessment and compliance monitoring.
- Product Testing and Certification: Provides test protocols for laboratories conducting conformity assessments required for CE marking and other certifications.
Implementing this standard helps stakeholders address health risks associated with respirable dust, ensuring that electric hammers used in demanding environments do not exceed permissible exposure limits.
Related Standards
To ensure comprehensive safety and performance of electric power tools, the following related standards should also be considered:
- EN 60745-1: General requirements for hand-held motor-operated electric tools, forming the foundation for product safety evaluations.
- EN 60745-2-6: The primary standard for hammers, which this draft amendment (prAA) updates with enhanced dust measurement provisions.
- EN 10080: Pertains to steel reinforcement in concrete, referenced for preparing test materials in dust emission assessments.
- Other Parts of EN 60745-2: Cover additional requirements for various types of motor-operated tools, supporting broad compliance and worker safety across tool applications.
SIST EN 60745-2-6:2010/oprAA:2013 reinforces the commitment to safer workplaces by providing enhanced procedures for dust control and clear criteria for product safety assessment in hand-held electric hammers. Adhering to this standard not only ensures legal compliance but also demonstrates dedication to best practices in occupational health and product quality within the European market.
