About This Item
IEC 60745-2-23:2012 is the relevant technical reference for the safety of hand-held motor-operated electric tools, with particular requirements for die grinders and small rotary tools. It is used when engineering teams, laboratories, and compliance groups need a clear basis for evaluating product safety, verifying design assumptions, and supporting conformity assessment. As part of the IEC 60745 series, it helps align technical review and testing workflows around a defined safety framework for these compact, high-speed tools.
What is IEC 60745-2-23:2012?
This document sets out particular safety requirements for hand-held motor-operated electric die grinders and small rotary tools. In practice, it serves as a focused compliance reference for assessing hazards associated with tool operation, construction, and intended use. Organizations may use IEC 60745-2-23:2012 during design validation, documented evaluation, and laboratory testing to check that a product meets the safety expectations associated with this tool category and to support consistent technical assessment.
Applications of IEC 60745-2-23:2012
The standard is relevant to manufacturers, test laboratories, certification bodies, and procurement teams working with hand-held rotary tools used for grinding, deburring, finishing, and similar tasks. It is commonly consulted during product development, type testing, and regulatory preparation for electrically powered tools intended for professional or industrial use. IEC 60745-2-23:2012 also supports quality workflows where safety documentation, technical files, and conformity assessment evidence need to be reviewed against a specific engineering specification.
Why is IEC 60745-2-23:2012 important?
For organizations handling die grinders and small rotary tools, the document helps reduce safety risk and improve consistency in testing and documentation. It provides a structured basis for verification activities, making it easier to compare results across labs and product lines. IEC 60745-2-23:2012 is also useful in procurement and compliance workflows because it gives stakeholders a shared technical reference for product evaluation, operational consistency, and preparation for conformity assessment.
