scope:

This international standard applies to hand-held non-electric power tools driven by rotary or linear motors, powered by compressed air, hydraulic fluid or internal combustion engines and intended to be used by one operator and supported by:
. the operator's hand or hands or a suspension, e. g. a balancer
. hand-held tools which are intended to be capable of being fixtured
Compliance with this standard on its own does not imply that power tools are suitable for use in potentially explosive atmospheres, for which additional safety measures are likely to be required.
NOTE: EN 13463-1 gives requirements for non-electrical equipment for potentially explosive atmospheres.
This part applies to non-electric power tools used for chipping, riveting, breaking of concrete and asphalt, ramming etc. This part lists the significant hazards caused by non-rotary percussive power tools and specifies safety requirements valid for different aspects of safety during their foreseeable lifetime.
Power tools covered by this part of the standard:
. breakers
. bush hammer
. chipping hammers
. chisels, small
. engraving pens
. needle scalers
. pick hammers
. pile drivers
. portable pile drivers
. punches
. rammers
