The tests of Clause 19 of IEC 60730‑1:2022 are not carried out on automatic controls which operate during Clause 12, if the tool meets the requirements of this document when they are short-circuited.”

Replace the 23.1.10 with the following:

23.1.10 Switches shall be so constructed that there will be no failure that might impair compliance with this document.

Compliance is checked by the following.

Switches, if separately tested and found to comply with IEC 61058‑1:2016, shall meet the requirements specified in 23.1.10.1.

Switches which have not been separately tested and found to comply with IEC 61058‑1:2016 or do not meet the requirements of 23.1.10.1, are tested as in 23.1.10.2 to 23.1.10.3.

23.1.10.1 Switches shall be rated and classified as follows.

Power switches shall be rated as follows:

for a voltage not less than the rated voltage of the tool;

for a current not less than the rated current of the tool;

for a.c., if the tool is rated for a.c.;

for d.c., if the tool is rated for d.c.

Electronic power switches shall, as a minimum, be classified for continuous duty in accordance with IEC 61058‑1‑2:2016.

Power switches shall further be classified with respect to load:

switches for motor-operated tools and motor-operated lawn and garden machinery: for resistive and motor load in accordance with 7.2.2 of IEC 61058‑1:2016, if the switch would encounter this load in normal use;

switches for magnetically driven tools and magnetically driven lawn and garden machinery: for inductive load in accordance with 7.2.8 of IEC 61058‑1:2016, if the switch would encounter this load in normal use;

alternatively, switches may be regarded as switches for a declared specific load in accordance with 7.2.5 of IEC 61058‑1:2016 and may be classified based upon the load conditions encountered in the tool in normal use.

Ratings and load classifications for switches other than power switches shall be based on the conditions encountered in the tool.

Switches shall further be classified as follows with respect to endurance:

power switches for hand-held tools: for 50 000 operating cycles;

power switches for transportable tools and lawn and garden machinery: for 10 000 operating cycles;

power switches which possess series electronics shall also endure 1 000 operating cycles with the electronics bypassed;

NOTE 1 Switches without any declared endurance with the electronics bypassed have been tested, by default, to 1 000 operating cycles in accordance with IEC 61058‑1:2016.

switches other than power switches, such as speed selector switches, which are likely to be switched under electrical load: for 1 000 operating cycles. However, this test is not required, if the requirements of this document are met with the switch short-circuited;

switches other than power switches that either

are intended for operation without electrical load, and which can be operated only with the aid of a tool or are interlocked so that they cannot be operated under electrical load; or

provide a motor direction reversing function; or

are switches for 20 mA load as classified in 7.2.6 of IEC 61058‑1:2016

are not required to possess any particular endurance characteristic.

NOTE 2 Motor reversing endurance is tested in 18.7.

Compliance is checked by inspection of the markings on the switch and by the documentation and certificate provided with the switch.

23.1.10.2 The endurance properties of switches shall be adequate.

Compliance is checked by submitting three samples of the switch to the accelerated cycle endurance test of 17.5.4 of IEC 61058‑1:2016, but with load conditions as specified in either 23.1.10.2.1 or 23.1.10.2.2 and with the number of operating cycles as specified below.

Power switches for hand-held tools are tested for 50 000 operating cycles. Power switches for transportable tools and lawn and garden machinery are tested for 10 000 operating cycles.

If a power switch comprises mechanical contacts in series with electronic circuitry containing one or more semiconductor switching devices (SSD) as defined in IEC 61058‑1:2016 where the circuitry provides a protective function by reducing the current during switch operation, then:

— on three additional samples, the electronic circuitry shall be bypassed and the test repeated for at least 1 000 operating cycles; or

— the protective function shall be considered to be a safety critical function and comply with the greater of the performance levels for power switches in 18.8.

Switches other than power switches, such as speed selector switches, which are likely to be switched while energized, are tested as described above, but for 1 000 operating cycles only for the load conditions encountered in normal use.

Switches, other than power switches, intended for operation without electrical load, and which can be operated only with the aid of a tool or are interlocked so that they cannot be operated under electrical load, are not subjected to the tests of 17.5.4 of IEC 61058‑1:2016.

Reverse switches are not subjected to the tests of 17.5.4 of IEC 61058‑1:2016, as they are tested in 18.7.

Switches for 20 mA load as classified in 7.2.6 of IEC 61058‑1:2016 are also not subjected to the tests of 17.5.4 of IEC 61058‑1:2016.

After completion of the above tests, the switch shall be able to be turned on and off and comply with the insulating compliance (TE3) of 17.6.3 of IEC 61058‑1:2016 for basic insulation.

23.1.10.2.1 For switches tested with an external load, the load conditions are as follows:

Power switches for motor-operated tools and motor-operated lawn and garden machinery are regarded as classified to 7.2.2 of IEC 61058‑1:2016. They are tested with 6 times I-M making current and a power factor 0,6 ± 0,05, and with I-M breaking current and a power factor ≥ 0,9, the I-M current being the rated current of the tool.

Power switches for magnetically driven tools and magnetically driven lawn and garden machinery are regarded as classified to 7.2.8 of IEC 61058‑1:2016. They are tested with 6 times I-I making current and a power factor 0,6 ± 0,05, and with I-I breaking current and a power factor 0,6 ± 0,05, the I-I current being the rated current of the tool.

Switches other than power switches, but which would encounter the same load conditions as power switches in normal use, shall be tested with the corresponding load conditions above.

23.1.10.2.2 For switches tested utilizing the motor or magnetic load encountered in the tool, the switch is tested at rated voltage for the required number of operating cycles, each cycle composed as follows:

1) With the tool at rest, the switch is closed without any mechanical load applied to the tool.

2) The switch is opened with the tool loaded to rated current or rated input.

The operating cycles shall be conducted as quickly as possible but need not meet the requirements of 17.4.5 of IEC 61058‑1:2016.

23.1.10.3 The breaking capacity of power switches of motor-operated tools and lawn and garden machinery shall be adequate.

Compliance is checked by the locked-rotor test (TC9) of 17.5.5 of IEC 61058‑1:2016 with a current of 6 ´ I-M. Alternatively, the test is performed with the switch incorporated in the tool with the motor locked, each “on” period being not more than 0,5 s, and each “off” period being not less than 10 s.

After this test the power switch shall have no electrical or mechanical failure. If the switch operates properly in the “on” and “off” positions at the end of the test, it is considered to have no mechanical or electrical failures.”

Replace 23.4 with the following:

23.4 Plugs and socket-outlets for extra-low voltage circuits, and those used as terminal devices for heating elements, shall not be interchangeable with mains plugs and socket outlets listed in IEC 60884 or IEC 60906‑1 or with connectors and appliance inlets complying with the standard sheets of IEC 60320‑1.

16.0 Replacement of Annex ZZ, “Relationship between this European Standard and the essential requirements of Directive 2006/42/EC [2006 OJ L157] aimed to be covered”

Replace Annex ZZ with the following Annexes ZZA and ZZB:

Annex ZZA
(informative)

Relationship between this European Standard and the essential requirements of Directive 2006/42/EC aimed to be covered

This European Standard has been prepared under a Commission’s standardization request “M/396 Mandate to CEN and CENELEC for Standardisation in the field of machinery” 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 (recast).

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.
