INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION
____________
ELECTRIC MOTOR-OPERATED HAND-HELD TOOLS,  
TRANSPORTABLE TOOLS AND LAWN AND GARDEN MACHINERY –
SAFETY –
Part 2-11: Particular requirements for hand-held reciprocating saws
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising 
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote 
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To 
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, 
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC 
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested 
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely 
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by 
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international 
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all 
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National 
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC 
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any 
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications 
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence 
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in 
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity 
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any 
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and 
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or 
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and 
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC 
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is 
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of 
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 62841-2-11 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 116: 
Safety of motor-operated electric tools.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS 
Report on voting
116/246/FDIS 
116/256/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on 
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

<!-- 第 13 页 -->
This Part 2-11 is to be used in conjunction with the first edition of IEC 62841-1 (2014).
This Part 2-11 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in IEC 62841-1, so as to 
convert it into the IEC standard: Particular requirements for hand-held reciprocating saws.
Where a particular subclause of Part 1 is not mentioned in this Part 2-11, that subclause 
applies as far as relevant. Where this standard states “addition”, “modification” or 
“replacement”, the relevant text in Part 1 is to be adapted accordingly.
The following print types are used:
– 
requirements: in roman type;
– 
test specifications: in italic type;
– 
notes: in small roman type.
The terms defined in Clause 3 are printed in bold typeface.
Subclauses, notes and figures which are additional to those in Part 1 are numbered starting 
from 101.
A list of all parts of the IEC 62841 series, under the general title: Electric motor-operated 
hand-held tools, transportable tools and lawn and garden machinery – Safety, can be found 
on the IEC website.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until 
the stability date indicated on the IEC website under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data 
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• 
reconfirmed, 
• 
withdrawn, 
• 
replaced by a revised edition, or 
• 
amended.
NOTE The attention of National Committees is drawn to the fact that equipment manufacturers and testing 
organizations may need a transitional period following publication of a new, amended or revised IEC publication in 
which to make products in accordance with the new requirements and to equip themselves for conducting new or 
revised tests.
It is the recommendation of the committee that the content of this publication be adopted for implementation 
nationally not earlier than 36 months from the date of publication.

Annexes
The annexes of Part 1 are applicable except as follows:
Annex I 
(informative)
Measurement of noise and vibration emissions
NOTE In Europe (EN 62841-2-11), Annex I is normative.
I.2 Noise test code (grade 2)
--``,`,,``,,,`,,,````,``,,`,,`,,-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
This clause of Part 1 is applicable except as follows:
I.2.4 Installation and mounting conditions of the power tools during noise tests
Addition:
Reciprocating saws are suspended in such a way as to correspond to normal use.
I.2.5 Operating conditions
Addition:
Reciprocating saws are tested at no-load, fitted with the smallest saw blade as specified for 
sawing chipboard. Pendulum systems, if any, are set to the maximum. Speed settings, if any, 
are adjusted to the highest value.
NOTE Experimental investigations have shown that the noise emission values of reciprocating saws at no-load 
and under load are very similar. For reasons of simplification, the noise emission is therefore measured at no-load.
The temperature requirements of 5.6 are not applicable.
I.2.9 Declaration and verification of noise emission values
Replacement of the second paragraph:
For a standard deviation of reproducibility of the method σR0 of 1,5 dB and for a typical 
standard deviation of production, the values for the uncertainties, KpA and KWA respectively, 
are expected to be 5 dB.
NOTE 101 The values KpA and KWA are higher, because they include the noise emission under load.
I.3 Vibration
This clause of Part 1 is applicable except as follows:
I.3.3.2 Location of measurement
Addition:
Figures I.103 and I.104 show the positions for different saws.

acceptable to perform all 15 measurements with one operator only.
The measurements are made in three axes and the results of each direction shall be 
combined using formula (I.3) to obtain the vibration total value ahv.

<!-- 第 24 页 -->
The measurement result ah shall be determined as the arithmetic mean of vibration total 
values over the tests and operators.
For jig saws, the results ah for two operation modes shall be reported:
– 
ah,B 
= mean vibration “cutting board” in accordance with Table I.101.
– 
ah,M 
= mean vibration “cutting sheet metal” in accordance Table I.102.
For sabre saws, the results ah for two operation modes shall be reported:
– 
ah,B 
= mean vibration “cutting board” in accordance with Table I.101.
– 
ah,WB 
= mean vibration “cutting wooden beam” in accordance Table I.103.
I.3.6.2 Declaration of the vibration total value
Addition:
The vibration total value of the handle with the highest emission and the uncertainty K shall 
be declared together with the saw blade used:
– 
for jig saws 
the value of ah,B, with the work mode description “cutting boards with saw blade …” and 
the value of ah,M, with the work mode description “cutting sheet metal with saw blade …”;
− 
for sabre saws
the value of ah,B, with the work mode description “cutting boards with saw blade …” and 
the value of ah,WB, with the work mode description “cutting wooden beams with saw blade 
…”.
NOTE The saw blade significantly influences the vibration behaviour. Therefore the combination of the vibration 
value along with the saw blade used for the test provides important information.
