Electric motor-operated hand-held tools, transportable tools and lawn and garden machinery - Safety - Part 4-3: Particular requirements for pedestrian controlled walk-behind lawnmowers
IEC 62841-4-3:2020 This document applies to the design of pedestrian controlled walk-behind- cylinder lawnmowers;and- rotary lawnmowersequipped with- metallic cutting means; and/or- rigid non-metallic cutting means; and/or- non-metallic cutting means with one or more cutting elements pivotally mounted on a generally circular drive unit, where these cutting elements rely on centrifugal force to achieve cutting, and have a kinetic energy for each single cutting element of greater than 10 J.This document does not apply to- robotic lawnmowers;- remote-controlled lawnmowers;- flail mowers or flail-type attachments;- scissors type lawnmowers;- grassland mowers;- sickle bar mowers;- towed/semi-mounted grass-cutting machines;- scrub-clearing machines;- lawn trimmers and lawn edge trimmers;- lawn edgers;- grass trimmers;- brush cutters;- brush saws;- agricultural mowers;- trailing seat/sulky units;- ride-on machines;- non-powered lawnmowers;- combustion engine powered lawnmowers;- hybrid and fuel cell powered machines and associated charging systems; and- garden tractors or their attachments.Robotic lawnmowers are covered by IEC 60335-2-107, and will be covered by a future part of IEC 62841.
