The garden tools manufacturing sector has progressed from traditional equipment like hand mowers and rakes to electric and battery-powered devices. Automation and digital control, exemplified by robotic mowers, are trending for convenient lawn care.
Yet, these advancements pose risks, leading to around 7,000 accidents each year with machine-operated mowers alone. This highlights the crucial role of thorough garden tools testing and certification to ensure safety and performance standards
Garden tools testing encompasses a thorough evaluation for safety, functionality, quality, and other factors such as pollutant levels, noise emissions, and electromagnetic compatibility. TÜV SÜD’s experts use a diverse array of testing equipment.
These include specific systems for assessing the safety of garden power tools like lawn mowers, brake test benches, and resources for examining battery-powered garden tools, such as those that use lithium-ion batteries.
Home gardening often utilises a range of electric and petrol-powered garden appliances, potentially sidelining safety considerations. Motorised garden and outdoor products designed for tasks like cutting, mowing, or chopping can pose risks.
The emergence of innovative, digitally-equipped devices necessitates comprehensive risk assessments, accounting for factors such as electrical safety and radio compatibility.
Comprehensive testing of garden tools, including electrical safety test and assessment, ensures your garden tools are safe, functional, and meet all regulatory standards. This boosts your quality reputation but also enhances the marketability of your offerings, giving you a competitive edge and fostering customer trust, thereby maximising your products' economic value.
