DIN EN 60335-2-77:2011-09

This European Standard specifies safety requirements and their verification for the design and construction of pedestrian controlled walk-behind electrically powered lawnmowers. This standard shall be applied in conjunction with EN 60335-1. This standard does not apply to - lawn trimmers, lawn edge trimmers, lawn edgers, flail mowers, scrub cutters, automatic (robot) lawn mowers, sickle-bar mowers, agricultural mowers, trailing seat/sulky units, ride-on machines or nonpowered lawnmowers - rotary lawnmowers for which the cutting means is a generally circular central drive unit on which is 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 - battery powered lawnmowers with a rated voltage of the battery more than 42 V d.c. Requirements for battery chargers, including those incorporated into the machine are dealt with in EN 60335-2-29. This standard is not applicable to appliances which are manufactured before the date of publication of this document by CENELEC. The responsible Subcommittee is UK 514.3 "Garten- und Rasenpflegegeräte" ("Garden and lawn equipment") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
