      Purpose

    IEC 62841-4-8:2025 specifies safety requirements and their verification for the design and construction of hand fed, shredders/chippers with an integral electric motor, with or without vacuum assisted collection, which are designed to reduce organic material to smaller pieces and are used in a stationary position by an operator standing on the ground. This document applies to shredders/chippers with feed intake openings or feed safety openings that in total will fit into a square of 250 mm x 250 mm. NOTE 101 The requirements for the measurement of the square of 250 mm x 250 mm are specified in 19.101.1. In this document, shredders/chippers are referred to collectively as machine(s). This document does not cover requirements for - machines powered by combustion engines; or - machines driven by an external power source; or - machines with powered discharge intended to broadcast material or load vehicles; or - machines with mechanically powered feed intake or attachments; or - wood chippers for forestry, agriculture, horticulture and landscaping. This document is to be used in conjunction with IEC 62841‑1:2014.
