Annex L – (normative) – BATTERY TOOLS AND BATTERY PACKS PROVIDED WITH MAINS
CONNECTION OR NON-ISOLATED SOURCES
L.1 Scope
This annex applies to rechargeable battery-powered motor-operated or magnetically driven tools and the
battery packs for such tools that are also operated and/or charged directly from the mains or a
non-isolated source, including tools provided with integral battery chargers. This annex applies to tools
incorporating detachable, integral and separable battery packs. The maximum rated voltages for tools are
250 V single phase a.c. or d.c. mains source and 75 V d.c. battery source. The maximum rated voltage
for battery packs is 75 V d.c.
Battery packs for tools covered under this annex intended to be charged by a non-isolated charger shall
be evaluated by this annex and standard. When evaluating a battery pack for protection against electric
shock, creepage distances, clearances and distances through insulation, the battery pack shall be fitted
to the intended charger.
All clauses of this standard apply unless otherwise specified in this annex. If a clause is stated in the
annex, the requirements replace the requirements of the standard.
For the purpose of the tools covered by this annex, the term mains switch as it appears in the standard
is understood to refer to the power switch of the battery-operated tool.
This annex is not intended to apply to tools using general purpose batteries installed by the user and this
annex alone will not be sufficient to ensure all hazards are considered for these products.
This annex does not apply to battery chargers which are covered by IEC 60335-2-29.
