Ta evropski standard določa splošne zahteve za meritve prahu elektromotornih orodij, ki se napajajo iz omrežja ali baterij. Ta evropski standard velja za tista orodja, pri katerih se pričakuje nabiranje prahu (na primer mineralnega prahu, ki vsebuje kremenico, ali lesnega prahu), ne glede na to, ali so opremljeni z enoto za izločevanje prahu ali ne.

Overview
EN 50632-2-1:2015 is a European Standard developed by CENELEC (CLC) that specifies the dust measurement procedures for electric motor-operated tools, focusing particularly on diamond core drills. This document supplements EN 50632-1 by addressing the unique requirements of dust emission testing for drills intended to be fitted with diamond core bits. The standard establishes clear guidelines for the measurement of both inhalable and respirable dust levels generated during the use of diamond core drills, supporting occupational health and safety objectives.
Key Topics
- Scope: Applies specifically to electric diamond core drills, including drills designed for use with or without water supply, and with or without percussion function.
- Dust measurement procedures: Outlines detailed steps for conducting dust emission tests, including testing conditions, instrumentation, and data reporting.
- Test setup and operating conditions: Specifies the materials (such as calcium silicate blocks), tool settings, hole dimensions, and distribution during testing to ensure reliable and consistent measurement results.
- Reporting requirements: Details the data and observations that must be included in reports, such as mean respirable dust concentration and any deviations in the test cycle duration.
- Reference to Part 1: Requires EN 50632-1:2015 to be used in conjunction for general requirements, with Part 2-1 modifying or supplementing clauses where relevant to diamond core drills.
Applications
EN 50632-2-1:2015 is essential for:
- Manufacturers of diamond core drills: Enables compliance with European dust emission regulations to ensure declared tool performance meets safety standards.
- Testing laboratories: Provides standardized procedures and reporting formats for consistent, comparable dust emission measurements across different products and brands.
- Occupational health and safety professionals: Assists in evaluating tool safety, selecting appropriate equipment for reducing worker exposure to hazardous dust on construction sites and during industrial activities.
- Market surveillance and regulatory bodies: Offers a benchmark for enforcing dust emission limits and monitoring product compliance in the EU and EEA.
Following this standard ensures that diamond core drills are tested under realistic, reproducible conditions, thereby supporting workplace safety, product development, and regulatory compliance.
