European foreword
The text of document 116/335/FDIS, future edition 1 of IEC 62841-2-17, prepared by IEC/TC 116 "Safety
of motor-operated electric tools" was submitted to the IEC-CENELEC parallel vote and approved by
CENELEC as EN 62841-2-17:2017.
A draft amendment, which covers common modifications to IEC 62841-2-17 (116/335/FDIS), was
prepared by CLC/TC 116 "Safety of motor-operated electric tools" and approved by CENELEC.
The following dates are fixed:
(dop) 2018-06-15
• latest date by which this document has to be implemented
at national level by publication of an identical
national standard or by endorsement
(dow) 2021-12-15
• latest date by which the national standards conflicting
with this document have to be withdrawn
This European Standard is divided into four 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) which could come within the
scope of this standard;
Part 2, 3 or 4: Requirements for particular types of tools which either supplement or modify the
requirements given in Part 1 to account for the particular hazards and characteristics of
these specific tools.
This Part 2-17 is to be used in conjunction with EN 62841-1:2015.
This Part 2-17 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in EN 62841-1:2015, so as to convert
it into the European Standard: Particular requirements for hand-held routers.
Where a particular subclause of Part 1 is not mentioned in this Part 2-17, that subclause applies as far as
relevant. When this standard states "addition", "modification" or "replacement", the relevant text in Part 1
is to be adapted accordingly.
The following print types are used:
- requirements; in roman type
- test specifications: in italic type;
- notes: in smaller roman type.
The terms defined in Clause 3 are printed in bold typeface.
Subclauses, notes, tables and figures which are additional to those in Part 1 are numbered starting
from 101.
Clauses, subclauses, notes, tables, figures and annexes which are additional to those in
IEC 62841-2-17:2017 are prefixed “Z”.
This European Standard follows the overall requirements of EN ISO 12100.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CENELEC by the European Commission
and the European Free Trade Association and supports essential requirements of EU Directive.
For the relationship with EU Directive, see informative Annex ZZ, which is an integral part of this
document.
Compliance with the clauses of Part 1 together with this Part 2-17 provides one means of conforming with
the essential health and safety requirements of the Directive concerned.
Endorsement notice
The text of the International Standard IEC 62841-2-17:2017 was approved by CENELEC as a European
Standard with agreed common modifications.

21 Construction
Replace the existing Subclause 21.18.1.1 with the following:
21.18.1.1 Addition:
For routers, either
– the power switch shall be a momentary power switch without having a locking arrangement in the
“on” position;
or
– the tool shall not restart after an interruption of the mains supply without releasing and re-actuating
the power switch.
Replace the title of Annex I by the following:
Annex I
(normative)
Measurement of noise and vibration emissions

and delete the note.
Annex K
(normative)
Battery tools and battery packs

Add the following new subclause:
K.21.18.Z101 Isolation and disabling device
Tools with an integral battery shall either be equipped
– with an isolation device to prevent the risk of injury from mechanical hazards during servicing or user
maintenance; or
– with a disabling device that prevents unintentional starting of the tool.
An isolation device shall
– provide disconnection of all poles of the battery from the serviceable region of the tool;
– be equipped with an unambiguous indication of the state of the disconnection device which
corresponds to each position of its manual control (actuator);
– be provided with protection against accidental reconnection.
NOTE 1 Examples of methods to achieve this disconnection include removable jumpers, integral batteries that can be
disconnected for servicing or user maintenance, or an electromechanical power switch with a direct mechanical link between the
actuator and the contact.
NOTE 2 The risk of accidental reconnection for a power switch is addressed by the requirement of 21.18.1.2. The other
examples in NOTE 1 achieve this by the necessary actions for reconnection.
A disabling device may be achieved by any of the following:
– a self-restoring or non-self-restoring lock-off device where two separate and dissimilar actions are
necessary before the motor is switched on (e.g. a power switch which has to be pushed in before it
can be moved laterally to close the contacts to start the motor). It shall not be possible to achieve
these two actions with a single grasping motion or a straight-line motion;
– a removable disabling device provided with the tool where it shall not be possible for the tool to be
operated when either applied or removed.
Compliance is checked by inspection and by manual test.

Annex L
(normative)
Battery tools and battery packs provided with mains connection or non-
isolated sources
Add the following new subclause:
L.21.18.Z101 Isolation and disabling device
Tools with an integral battery shall either be equipped
– with an isolation device to prevent the risk of injury from mechanical hazards during servicing or user
maintenance; or
– with a disabling device that prevents unintentional starting of the tool.
An isolation device shall
– provide disconnection of all poles of the battery from the serviceable region of the tool;
– be equipped with an unambiguous indication of the state of the disconnection device which
corresponds to each position of its manual control (actuator);
– be provided with protection against accidental reconnection.
NOTE 1 Examples of methods to achieve this disconnection include removable jumpers, integral batteries that can be
disconnected for servicing or user maintenance, or an electromechanical power switch with a direct mechanical link between the
actuator and the contact.
NOTE 2 The risk of accidental reconnection for a power switch is addressed by the requirement of 21.18.1.2. The other
examples in NOTE 1 achieve this by the necessary actions for reconnection.
A disabling device may be achieved by any of the following:
– a self-restoring or non-self-restoring lock-off device where two separate and dissimilar actions are
necessary before the motor is switched on (e.g. a power switch which has to be pushed in before it
can be moved laterally to close the contacts to start the motor). It shall not be possible to achieve
these two actions with a single grasping motion or a straight-line motion;
– a removable disabling device provided with the tool where it shall not be possible for the tool to be
operated when either applied or removed.
Compliance is checked by inspection and by manual test.

Add the following annex:
Annex ZZ
(informative)
Relationship between this European Standard and the essential requirements of
Directive 2006/42/EC [2006 OJ L157] aimed to be covered
This European Standard has been prepared under a Commission’s standardisation request M/396 to
provide one voluntary means of conforming to essential requirements of Directive 2006/42/EC of the
European Parliament and of the Council of 17 May 2006 on machinery, and amending
Directive 95/16/EC.
Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Directive, compliance
with the normative clauses of this standard given in Table ZZ.1 confers, within the limits of the scope of
this standard, a presumption of conformity with the corresponding essential requirements of that
Directive, and associated EFTA regulations.
Table ZZ.1 – Correspondence between this European Standard
and Annex I of Directive 2006/42/EC
Essential Requirements of Clause(s) / sub-clause(s)
Remarks / Notes
Directive 2006/42/EC of this EN
Annex I All clauses All corresponding requirements
are covered by complying with all
clauses.
WARNING 1: Presumption of conformity stays valid only as long as a reference to this European
standard is maintained in the list published in the Official Journal of the European Union. Users of this
standard should consult frequently the latest list published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
WARNING 2: Other Union legislation may be applicable to the product(s) falling within the scope of this
standard.
