IEC 61058-2-6:2016 is a subset based on IEC 61058-1. The clauses outlined below are intended to address the specific requirements for switches incorporated into or integrated with electric motor-operated hand-held tools, transportable tools and lawn and garden machinery. This standard is intended for switches with an ambient temperature up to and including 55 °C. Switches tested to IEC 61058-1 are considered to comply with this standard and additional testing is not required provided ratings, loads, and endurance are correct.


This publication is to be read in conjunction with IEC 61058-1:2000.
