European foreword
This document (EN IEC 62841-4-4:2026/A11:2026) was prepared by CLC/TC 116 “Safety and environmental
aspects of motor-operated electric tools”.
The following dates are fixed:
• latest date by which this document has to be (dop) 2027-03-31
implemented at national level by publication of
an identical national standard or by
endorsement
• latest date by which the national standards (dow) 2030-03-31
conflicting with this document have to be
withdrawn
This series 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 document referred to simply as tools) which could come within the scope of this document;
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.
The Part 4-4 is used in conjunction with EN 62841-1:2015 and all of its amendments and corrigenda (if any).
The Part 4-4 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in EN 62841-1:2015 and all of its amendments
and corrigenda (if any), to convert it into the European Standard: Particular requirements for lawn trimmers,
lawn edge trimmers, grass trimmers, brush cutters and brush saws.
Where a particular subclause of Part 1 is not mentioned in Part 4-4, that subclause applies as far as relevant.
When this document 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 62841-4-4:2020
are prefixed “Z”.
This document follows the overall requirements of EN ISO 12100:2010.
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 Standardization Request addressed to CENELEC by the European
Commission. The Standing Committee of the EFTA States subsequently approves these requests for its
Member States.
For the relationship with EU Legislation, see informative Annex ZZ, which is an integral part of this document.
Compliance with the clauses of Part 1 together with Part 4-4 provides one means of conforming with the
essential health and safety requirements of the Directive concerned.
Any feedback and questions on this document should be directed to the users’ national committee. A complete
listing of these bodies can be found on the CENELEC website.
1 Modifications to Clause 8, “Marking and instructions”
Delete the NOTE after 8.14.2 c) 105) and replace with the following normative text:
“8.14.2 Za) Replacement of the second and third list items of item 1):
— for lawn trimmers and lawn edge trimmers, the A-weighted guaranteed sound power level L ;
WA
— for grass trimmers, brush cutters and brush saws, the A-weighted emission sound power level L and
WA
its uncertainty K , where the A-weighted emission sound pressure level L exceeds 80 dB(A).”
WA pA
2 Modifications to Annex I, “Measurement of noise and vibration emissions”
Replace the title of Annex I with the following:
“Annex I
(normative)
Measurement of noise and vibration emissions”
and delete the NOTE.
Replace the existing NOTE in subclause I.2.2.1 with the following:
“NOTE  Machines designated as grass trimmers in this document, where the kinetic energy of one cutting element does
not exceed 10 J, are considered “lawn trimmers” by European Directive 2000/14/EC. For these, as well as for lawn trimmers
and lawn edge trimmers, the A-weighted measured and guaranteed sound power levels L are determined according to
WA
the European Directive 2000/14/EC, as amended.”
3 Modification to Annex K, “Battery tools and battery packs”
Replace the existing NOTE 301 in K.1 Scope with the following:
Clause K.1 of Part 1 is applicable, except as follows.
Addition:
“This document applies to hand-held and walk-behind lawn trimmers and lawn edge trimmers, used by a
standing operator for cutting grass, weeds or similar soft vegetation, and grass trimmers, brush cutters and
brush saws used by a standing operator for cutting grass, weeds, brush, bushes, saplings and similar
vegetation.
This document does not apply to
— hand-held machines having a mass of 18 kg or greater;
— self-propelled lawn trimmers or lawn edge trimmers;
— scissors type lawn trimmers and lawn edge trimmers;
— machines equipped with metallic cutting accessories consisting of more than one piece, e.g. pivoting
chains or flail blades;
— edgers with rigid and/or metallic cutting devices;
— grass trimmers, brush cutters and brush saws equipped with integral batteries.
NOTE 301 Freely pivoting non-metallic cutting elements are considered not to be rigid cutting devices.
NOTE 302 Edgers with rigid or metal cutting devices will be covered by IEC 62841-4-11.
NOTE 303 Annex EE provides an informative summary of characteristics for lawn trimmers, lawn edge trimmers, grass
trimmers, brush cutters and brush saws.
Brush cutters and brush saws covered by this document are designed only to be operated with the machine
to the right of the operator.”
Delete NOTE 303 of K.8.14.1.102.
Replace the NOTE in K.21.18 with the following normative text:
“K.21.18.Z301 Isolation device
Hand-held trimmers and walk-behind trimmers with an integral battery shall be equipped with an isolation
device to prevent the risk of injury from mechanical hazards during servicing or user maintenance.
An isolation device shall:
— provide disconnection of at least one pole of the battery from the serviceable region of the machine;
— 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 301 Examples of methods to achieve this disconnection include removable jumpers, integral batteries that can be
