IEC EN 62841-2-10 Electric Motor Powered Hand Tools - Test for Hand Mixers

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 62841-2-10 test. IEC EN 62841-2-10 applies to mixers of not more than 250 V for single-phase AC or DC appliances and 480 V for three-phase AC appliances. The rated input is not more than 3700 W.

This standard deals with the hazards posed by tools that are faced by all persons in the normal use and reasonably foreseeable misuse of tools. Power tools that can be mounted on a support or workbench for use as a stationary tool without any modification to the tool itself are within the scope of this standard and such a combination of a hand tool and a support is considered.

This standard does not apply to drills and hammer drills, even if they can be used as mixers.

The standard includes requirements for the design, construction and testing of hand mixers to ensure they are safe for use.

Some of the specific requirements include:

• Protection against electric shock: The mixer should be designed to prevent electric shock by using appropriate insulation, grounding and protective measures.
• Protection against mechanical hazards: The mixer must be designed to prevent hazards such as entanglement of hair or clothing and protection of rotating parts of the mixer.
• Ergonomic design: The mixer should be designed to minimize operator fatigue and injury by providing comfortable grip, trigger and other controls.
• Noise and vibration levels: The mixer should be designed to minimize the noise and vibration levels that occur during use, which can cause health problems over time.
• Durability and reliability: The mixer must be designed to withstand the rigors of professional use, including exposure to dust, moisture and other environmental factors.

The standard also includes testing procedures for measuring mixer performance and safety, including testing for electrical safety, mechanical hazards, noise and vibration levels, and durability.

Compliance with this standard helps ensure that handheld mixers are safe and reliable for use in professional environments.
