Scope:

IEC 62841-3-14:2017 applies to transportable drain cleaners. The rated voltage is not more than 250 V for single-phase a.c. or d.c. tools, and 480 V for three-phase a.c. tools. The rated input is not more than 3 700 W. The limits for the applicability of this standard for battery tools are given in Annex K. This standard deals with the hazards presented by tools which are encountered by all persons in the normal use and reasonably foreseeable misuse of the tools. Hand-held electric tools, which can be mounted on a support or working stand for use as fixed tools without any alteration of the tool itself, are within the scope of this standard and such combination of a hand-held tool and a support is considered to be a transportable tool and thus covered by the relevant Part 3.

Drain cleaners are also known as pipe cleaners.

This standard does not apply to hand-held drain cleaners. Hand-held drain cleaners are covered by IEC 62841-2-21.

This standard does not apply to high pressure cleaners to clean drains. High pressure cleaners are covered by IEC 60335-2-79.

Project need:

This proposed New Standard is being developed at the request of industry members. It will provide the industry with a standard for hand-held motor operated electric tools – Transportable drain cleaners. This will meet the strategic needs of the following key interests: a) Industry: by ensuring that the latest innovative/technology/safety features are available for users b) Regulators: by providing suitable requirements; and c) Supporting certification bodies. Geographic Representation: “The CSA technical committee has a broad range of geographic representation including western Canada, Ontario and Quebec. “
