scope:

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 2-5 is to be used in conjunction with EN 62841-1:201X 1). When this standard states "addition", "modification" or "replacement", the relevant text in Part 1 is to be adapted accordingly. Compliance with the clauses of Part 1 together with this Part 2-5 provides one means of conforming with the essential health and safety requirements of the Directive concerned.
