DIN EN ISO 11148-4:2013-05

This standard defines relevant requirements set out in Annex I of EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, relating to machines which were placed on the European Economic Area (EEA) market for the first time, with the intent to facilitate proof of compliance with those requirements. This part of ISO 11148 applies to hand-held non-electric power tools (hereinafter "non-rotary percussive power tools") intended for chipping, riveting, breaking of concrete and asphalt, ramming, etcetera. The non-rotary percussive power tool can be powered by compressed air, hydraulic fluid or internal combustion engines and is intended for use by one operator and supported by the operator's hand or hands, with or without a suspension, for example, a balancer. This part of ISO 11148 covers: - breakers; - bush hammers; - chipping hammers; - small chisels; - engraving pens; - needle scalers; - pick hammers; - pile drivers; - portable pile drivers; - punches; - rammers; - riveting hammers; - scaling hammers; - stone hammers; - spades; - tampers. For examples of non-rotary percussive power tools, see Annex B. This part of ISO 11148 does not cover special requirements and modifications on non-rotary percussive power tools for the purpose of mounting in a fixture. This part of ISO 11148 deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events when the tools are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer, with the exception of the use of non-rotary percussive power tools in potentially explosive atmospheres. EN 13463-1 gives requirements for non-electrical equipment for potentially explosive atmospheres. This standard contains the German version of EN ISO 11148-4:2012 which has been prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 118 "Compressors and pneumatic tools, machines and equipment" of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), in collaboration with Technical Committee CEN/TC 255 "Hand-held tools" at the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). This standard differs from DIN EN ISO 11148-4:2011-03 as follows: a) a new 6.2.2.1 "General" has been included in 6.2.2; b) in 6.2.2, in 6.2.2.8 "Accessory hazards" (formerly 6.2.2.7), the second indent has been replaced. The national interests during the preparation were represented by NA 060-08-13 AA "Druckluftwerkzeuge und -maschinen" ("Pneumatic tools and machines") at Technical Section "Kompressoren und Vakuumtechnik" ("Compressors and vacuum technology") of the Mechanical Engineering Standards Committee (NAM) at DIN.
