This standard specifies safety requirements and their verification for the design and
construction of pedestrian controlled battery powered electrical cylinder or rotary lawnmowers
with a rated voltage of the battery being not more than 42 V d.c.
This standard does not apply to
- non-powered lawnmowers,
- rotary lawnmowers for which the cutting means is a generally circular central drive unit on
which are mounted, either one or more non-metallic filaments or one or more non-metallic,
pivotally mounted cutting elements. These cutting elements rely on centrifugal force to
achieve cutting, with the kinetic energy of a single cutting element not exceeding 10 J,
- mains operated electrical lawnmowers.
Requirements for battery chargers, including those incorporated into the machine, are dealt
with in EN 60335-2-29.
This standard is not applicable to lawnmowers which are manufactured before the date of
publication of this document by CENELEC.
