CSA C22.2 No. 62841-1
CSA C22.2 No. 62841-1 is the Canadian adoption of IEC 62841-1, covering general safety requirements for electric motor-operated hand-held tools, transportable tools, and lawn and garden machinery. This standard supersedes previous standards such as UL/CSA 60745 series for hand-held tools and UL/CSA 61029 for transportable tools.
Key Test Areas:
1. General condition assessment and hazard identification
2. Protection against electric shock and insulation
3. Mechanical safety and guarding requirements
4. Temperature rise under normal load
5. Abnormal and fault condition behavior
6. Marking and instruction safety requirements
Project Details
This standard applies to electric motor-operated tools with a rated voltage not exceeding 250 V for single-phase tools and 480 V for others. It covers hand-held tools (drills, saws, grinders), transportable tools (table saws, band saws, bench grinders), and lawn/garden machinery.
