Powder actuated hand-held fixing and hard marking tools - Safety requirements
Abstract
This document covers safety requirements for powder actuated fixing and hard marking tools which operate with an intermediate member (piston) and are handled manually. This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to powder actuated fixing and hard marking tools, when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable (see Clause 4). It deals with the significant hazards in the different operating modes and intervention procedures as referred to in EN ISO 12100:2010, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6. Although the safe use of powder actuated tools depends to an important extent on the use of appropriate cartridges and fasteners, this document is not formulating requirements for the cartridges and fasteners to be used with the tools (see Clause 7). This document applies to tools designed for use with cartridges with casings made of metal or plastic and with solid propellant and containing a minor quantity of primer mix with a composition different from that of the main propellant. This document applies to tools designed for use with single cartridges or with cartridges collated in disks or in strips. The fixing tools in the scope are those intended for use with fasteners made from metal. NOTE Information about cartridges can be found either in EN 16264:2014 or the publication of the Permanent International Commission for the Proof of Small Arms (C.I.P.). This document is not applicable to powder actuated fixing and hard marking tools which are manufactured before the date of its publication as EN.
