Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

Guards covering the inserted tool are not required.
4.2.6 Power tool construction
The non-rotary percussive power tool shall be so designed and constructed as to prevent the loosening or
loss of components during expected use, including rough handling and occasional dropping, which can
compromise its safety functions.
4.3 Thermal safety
Surface temperatures of parts of the non-rotary percussive power tools that are held during use or that can be
inadvertently touched shall follow the provisions of ISO 13732-1 and ISO 13732-3.
Pneumatic tools shall be designed to avoid the cooling effects of exhaust air on the handles and other gripping
zones.
4.4 Noise
The non-rotary percussive power tool shall be designed and constructed so that the emission of noise is
reduced to the lowest level, taking account of technical progress and the availability of means of reducing
noise, in particular at source. Principles for designing non-rotary percussive power tools with reduced noise
emission are contained in ISO/TR 11688-1 and ISO/TR 11688-2.
The noise emission from using non-rotary percussive power tools has three main sources:
⎯ the non-rotary percussive power tool itself;
⎯ the inserted tool;
⎯ the workpiece.
NOTE 1 Generally, the noise emitted due to the characteristics of the workpiece cannot be controlled directly by the
manufacturer of the non-rotary percussive power tool.

SIST EN ISO 11148-4:2011
ISO 11148-4:2010(E)
Typical sources of noise emitted by the non-rotary percussive power tool itself are
a) the motor and drive mechanism;
b) the exhaust air or gases;
c) vibration- or impact-induced noise.
Where the exhaust air or gases are the major contributor to the noise, means to reduce the noise, for example
a silencer or equivalent means, shall be included in the design.
NOTE 2 Alternatively, where practicable, the exhaust air or gases can be piped away from the operator in a hose.
Vibration-induced noise can often be reduced by vibration isolation and damping.
This list is not exhaustive; where alternative technical measures for noise reduction, with greater efficiency,
are available, they should be used by the manufacturer.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

The Standard consists of a number of independent parts for individual types of hand-held non-electric power
tools.
Other standards deal with safety rules for hand-held power tools used in e. g. the following fields:
⎯ agriculture and forestry such as chain saws, hedge-trimmers, brush cutters, grass trimmers
⎯ construction and building such as cutting-off power tools, concrete vibrators
⎯ food industry, such as fowl secateurs, sheep shears.
Endeavours have been made to achieve co-ordination with the relevant Technical Committees so that the
safety requirements are compatible.
This standard is divided in the following parts:
Part 1 - Assembly power tools for non-threaded mechanical fasteners
Part 2 - Cutting-off and crimping power tools
Part 3 - Drills and tappers
Part 4 - Non-rotary percussive power tools
Part 5 - Rotary, percussive power drills

Hand-held non-electric power tools — Safety requirements —
Part 4: Non-rotary percussive power tools
1 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
⎯ riveting hammers
⎯ scaling hammers
