DIN EN ISO 11148-6:2013-05

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 "assembly power tools for threaded fasteners") intended for tightening or installing of threaded fasteners. The assembly power tools for threaded fasteners can be powered by compressed air, hydraulic fluid or internal combustion engines and are 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: - air-hydraulic impulse wrenches; - impact wrenches; - fastener installation tools; - nutrunners; - open-ended spanners (crow-foot with open-ended socket or tube nut wrench); - ratchet wrenches; - screwdrivers. For examples of assembly power tools for threaded fasteners, see Annex B. This part of ISO 11148 does not cover special requirements and modifications of assembly power tools for threaded fasteners for the purpose of mounting them in fixtures. 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 assembly power tools for threaded fasteners in potentially explosive atmospheres. EN 13463-1 gives requirements for non-electrical equipment for potentially explosive atmospheres. This standard differs from DIN EN ISO 11148-6:2011-03 as follows: a) a new 6.2.2.1 "General" has been included in 6.2.2; b) in 6.2.2, in 6.2.2.9 "Accessory hazards" (formerly 6.2.2.8), 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.
