Annexes
Annex I 
(normative)
Measurement of noise and vibration emissions
Impact wrenches are tested under load. The load is applied by means of a brake system, so 
that the socket driving the brake rotates at a test speed of (45 ± 5) min–1 and the impact 
mechanism is caused to operate continuously. The brake as shown in Figure I.101 is 
supported on a resilient material and mounted on a bench such that the geometric centre of 
the tool is 1 m above the reflecting plane. The details of the brake system are given in 
Annex C of ISO 28927-2:2009.
To prevent chattering noise from items 2, 3 and 5 of the brake shown in Figures C.1 and C.2 
of ISO 28927-2:2009, these parts may be insulated between each other by material such as 
rubber.
Figures I.102 and I.103 show the positions for different screwdrivers and impact wrenches.

<!-- 第 14 页 -->
IEC 62841-2-2:2014 © IEC 2014 
I.3.5.3 Operating conditions
Addition:
The operating conditions of Part 1 apply except those specified in Table I.101 and Table 
I.102.
Table I.101 – Operating conditions for screwdrivers
Orientation 
Screwdrivers are tested at no-load.
The screwdriver is hold horizontally during the test.
Tool bit 
Tool bit of medium length and size.
Grip force 
Hold the machine with normal gripping force, avoiding excessive gripping force.
Test cycle 
One test cycle is given when the tool is switched on for no load at maximum speed for more than 10 s 
and then switched off again.
The measurement is conducted during 10 s within this period.
NOTE As it is difficult to measure load applications of screwdrivers in laboratories and results have shown that 
the load has no influence on the vibration results, the measurements are conducted with no-load only.
Table I.102 – Operating conditions for impact wrenches
Orientation 
The tools are tested under load.
Either a hexagon head bolt is screwed into a nut or a hexagon nut is screwed onto a bolt using a 
steel plate as part of a test fixture according to Figure I.104. The test fixture shall be either 
mounted on the floor or on a concrete block at least the size of the test fixture with a minimum 
thickness of 200 mm.
NOTE Figure I.104 shows an example for mounting the test fixture.
The bolts or nuts are of the biggest capacities of the tool under test. The screw case is a hard 
joint with one steel washer under the head. The initial setting of the bolt or nut shall provide 
10 mm of exposed length from the steel plate to provide the run up. The test fixture shall not turn 
or move during the test.
The steel plate shall be long enough to accept 5 fixings with a clearance between each fixing of at 
least the dimension of the head of the bolt or nut or a dimension distance which does not cause 
interference with the adjacent fixing.
Tool bit 
Hex head sockets of the size and depth needed for the bolts or nuts defined above.
Feed force 
Provide sufficient grip and feed force to maintain safe control. Avoid excessive grip and feed 
force.
Test cycle 
The test cycle will be one fixing for the specified bolt or nut for a period of run down and 5 s from 
first impact (one test series contains five cycles).
The measurement starts from switch on of the tool with the socket / bit engaged with the bolts or 
nuts to the end of 5 s of impact with continuous operation. This includes the time to cover run up 
of 10 mm.
I.3.6.2 Declaration of the vibration total value
Addition:
The vibration total value ah of the handle with the highest emission and the uncertainty K shall 
be declared and:
–
for screwdrivers
the work mode description “screw driving”;
–
for impact wrenches
the work mode description “impact tightening of fasteners of the maximum capacity of the
tool”.
