scope:

This part of ISO 11148 applies to hand-held non-electric compression power tools (hereafter referred to as "compression power tools") for squeeze riveting, punching, shaping, pressing and cutting of metal, plastics or other materials. The compression power tools may be powered by compressed air or hydraulic fluid and intended to be used by one operator and supported by the operator's hand or hands, with or without a suspension, e. g. a balancer. NOTE 1: At the date of publication no compression power tools driven by internal combustion engines are known. When these are identified the standard will be amended to include such power tools. This document covers: . crimping tools . collar splitters . power tools for metal forming (edge formers, folding tools, swagers) . nut splitter heads . presses . punches . squeeze riveters . cutting power tools with parallel knives . alligator jaw compression riveters. NOTE 2: For examples of compression power tools, see annex B. This document does not cover: . Special requirements and modifications on compression power tools for the purpose of mounting them in fixtures. This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events with the exception of the use of compression power tools in potentially explosive atmospheres, when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer. NOTE 3: EN 13463-1 gives requirements for non-electrical equipment for potentially explosive atmospheres.
