The European Union has established a special 60745-1 standard for hardware power tools. Its purpose is to establish specifications for hardware and power tools and to implement technical specifications for power tools products entering the European market, so as to reduce or avoid the harm caused to consumers by power tools. Europe also introduced the Electrical Appliance Certification Act.

All the specifications and series of power tool products exported by relevant companies to the European Union must be certified before the export and passed the EU Electric Appliances Directive. The products that are about to expire must be applied for certification in a timely manner. In addition, within the inspection time of power tools, companies need to do the preparatory work in advance. Enterprises need to accumulate experience in response, and the products involved will be adjusted accordingly according to EU regulations, otherwise they will be eliminated by the market.
