Electric motor-operated hand-held tools, transportable tools and lawn and garden machinery - Safety - Part 2-16: Particular requirements for hand-held fastener driving tools
IEC 62841-2-16:2024 is to be used in conjunction with IEC 62841-1:2014. This document supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in IEC 62841-1, so as to convert it into the IEC Standard: Particular requirements for hand-held fastener driving tools. Where a particular subclause of IEC 62841-1 is not mentioned in this document, that subclause applies as far as reasonable. Where this document states "addition", "modification" or "replacement", the relevant text in IEC 62841-1 is to be adapted accordingly. IEC 62841-1:2014, Clause 1 is applicable, except as follows: Addition: This document applies to hand-held fastener driving tools - intended for driving fasteners into or through concrete, fabric, fiberboard, metal, plastic, wood, wood products, cartons, and other materials; and - whose energy to drive the fastener is derived directly or indirectly from an electric motor or magnetic drive. This document does not apply to pneumatically driven tools where the compressed gas comes from an external source, such as a compressor or a tank. This document does not apply to tools powered by combustible gases, even if electrically ignited. NOTE 101 Tools powered by compressed air or combustible gases are covered by ISO 11148-13:2017.

L'IEC 62841-2-16:2024 doit être utilisé conjointement avec l'IEC 62841-1:2014. Le présent document complète ou modifie les articles correspondants de l'IEC 62841-1 de façon à la transformer en norme IEC: Exigences particulières pour les machines à enfoncer les fixations portatives. Lorsqu'un paragraphe particulier de l'IEC 62841-1 n'est pas mentionné dans le présent document, ce paragraphe s'applique pour autant que cela soit raisonnable. Lorsque le présent document mentionne "addition", "modification" ou "remplacement", le texte correspondant de l'IEC 62841-1 doit être adapté en conséquence. L'Article 1 de l'IEC 62841-1:2014 s'applique, avec l'exception suivante: Addition: Le présent document s'applique aux machines à enfoncer les fixations portatives: conçues pour enfoncer des fixations dans du béton, du tissu, des panneaux de fibres, du métal, du plastique, du bois, des produits en bois, du carton et d'autres matériaux; et dont l'énergie utilisée pour enfoncer la fixation est produite directement ou indirectement par un moteur électrique ou un système d'entraînement magnétique. Le présent document ne s'applique pas aux outils à entraînement pneumatique pour lesquels le gaz comprimé provient d'une source externe telle qu'un compresseur ou un réservoir. Le présent document ne s'applique pas non plus aux outils qui fonctionnent aux gaz combustibles, même à allumage électrique.
