Abstract

This document specifies safety requirements and measures for the verification of the design and
construction of hand-held, integrally-driven combustion engine hedge trimmers (hereafter referred to

This document is also applicable to ”split-boom” type hedge trimmers and to multi-purpose machines
when configured as a hedge trimmer.
It establishes methods for the elimination or reduction of hazards arising from the use of the hedge
trimmers. In addition, it specifies the type of information to be provided by the manufacturer on safe
working practices.
This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to powered
hand-held hedge trimmers when they are used as intended and under the conditions of misuse that are
reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4).
This document is not applicable to hedge trimmers with an engine displacement over 80 cm3, nor is it
applicable to hedge trimmers manufactured before the date of its publication.
