Electric motor-operated tools - Dust measurement procedure - Part 2-1: Particular requirements for diamond core drills; German version EN 50632-2-1:2015

Overview
This European Standard specifies general requirements for the dust measurement of electric motor-operated tools supplied from mains or from batteries. This standard applies to those tools with and without dust extraction unit where dust such as mineral dust containing silica or wood dust is expected. Inhalable dust emitted from power tools can be hazardous to the operator or others exposed to the dust. Therefore, this standard specifies a method for measuring the dust concentration generated by a power tool under standardized conditions representing typical applications. This means that the dust concentration during actual use of the power tool may differ from the measured dust concentration, depending on how the power tool is used. This part of EN 50632 applies to diamond core drills. The responsible committee is DKE/K 514 "Elektrowerkzeuge" ("Electric tools") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
