Befestigungen bekannt, die durch Verbrennungsmotoren angetrieben werden. Sobald derartige Maschinen vorliegen, wird
diese Norm entsprechend geändert.
Zu den Maschinen, die in diesem Teil von ISO 11148 behandelt werden, gehören:
 Maschinen für Befestigungselemente, Nieten oder Dübel mit Bruch des Nietschaftes;
 Maschinen für Bolzen mit Bruch des Nietschaftes;
 Einnietsetzgeräte, über Nietdorn geladen;
 Nietwerkzeug für Blindnietmuttern.
ANMERKUNG 2 Anhang B enthält Beispiele für Maschinen für gewindelose mechanische Befestigungen.
In diesem Teil von ISO 11148 werden besondere Anforderungen an und Änderungen bezüglich
handgehaltene(n) Maschinen zum Zwecke des Spannens in einer Halterung nicht behandelt.
In diesem Teil von ISO 11148 werden alle signifikanten Gefährdungen, Gefährdungssituationen oder
Gefährdungsereignisse mit Ausnahme des Einsatzes von Maschinen in explosionsfähigen Atmosphären
behandelt, wenn sie für den dafür vorgesehenen Verwendungszweck und unter für den Hersteller
vorhersehbaren Missbrauchsbedingungen angewendet werden.

Ll'ISO 11148-1:2011 spécifie des exigences de sécurité pour les machines portatives non électriques (ci-après appelées «machines portatives de pose d'éléments de fixation non filetés») destinées à la pose, au serrage ou à l'enlèvement de rivets, vis, chevilles et fixations, pré-cassés ou non, sur une face d'une pièce en métal, en plastique ou autres matériaux. Les machines portatives de pose d'éléments de fixation non filetés peuvent être alimentées par air comprimé, par un fluide hydraulique ou par un moteur à combustion interne, et sont prévues pour être utilisées par un seul opérateur et être portées par la ou les mains de l'opérateur avec ou sans suspension, par exemple à l'aide d'un équilibreur.
Elle est applicable aux machines de pose de fixations, rivets ou chevilles pré-cassés; aux machines de pose de vis pré-cassés; aux riveteuses à mandrin; et aux riveteuses à rivet aveugle.
Elle ne couvre pas les exigences spécifiques et les modifications des machines portatives de pose d'éléments de fixation non filetés destinées à être montées dans un châssis.
Elle traite de tous les phénomènes dangereux, situations dangereuses ou événements dangereux significatifs qui sont pertinents pour les machines portatives de pose d'éléments de fixation non filetés lorsqu'elles sont utilisées normalement et lorsqu'elles font l'objet d'un mauvais usage raisonnablement prévisible par le fabricant, à l'exception de l'usage des machines dans une atmosphère potentiellement explosible.

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.
ISO 11148-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 118, Compressors and pneumatic tools,
machines and equipment, Subcommittee SC 3, Pneumatic tools and machines.

Introduction
This document is a type-C standard as stated in ISO 12100.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are
defined in the Scope of this part of ISO 11148.
When requirements of this type-C standard are different from those which are stated in type-A or -B standards,
the requirements of this type-C standard take precedence over the requirements of other standards for
machines that have been designed and built according to the requirements of this type-C standard.
ISO 11148 consists of a number of independent parts for individual types of hand-held non-electric power
tools.
Certain parts of ISO 11148 cover hand-held non-electric power tools driven by internal combustion engines
powered by gaseous or liquid fuel. In these parts, the safety aspects relating to internal combustion engines
are found in a normative annex.
The parts are type-C standards and refer to pertinent standards of type A and B where such standards are
applicable.

powered by compressed air, hydraulic fluid or internal combustion engines and are 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 time of publication, no assembly power tools for non-threaded mechanical fasteners driven by internal
combustion engines are known. Once these are identified, it is intended to amend this part of ISO 11148 to include such
power tools.
This part of ISO 11148 is applicable to:
 breakstem fastener, rivet or plug tools;
 breakstem lockbolt tools;
 mandrel loaded riveting tools;
 rivet nut setters.
NOTE 2 For examples of assembly power tools for non-threaded mechanical fasteners, see Annex B.
This part of ISO 11148 is not applicable to special requirements and modifications of hand-held power tools
for the purpose of mounting them in a fixture.
This part of ISO 11148 deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events relevant to
assembly power tools for non-threaded mechanical fasteners when they are used as intended and under
conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer, with the exception of the use of
power tools in potentially explosive atmospheres.
NOTE 3 EN 13463-1 gives requirements for non-electrical equipment for potentially explosive atmospheres.

The measures adopted to comply with the requirements of Clause 4 shall take account of the state-of-the-art.
It is recognized that optimizing the design with respect to some safety measures can result in a degradation of
performance against other safety requirements. In such cases, it is required to strike a balance between the
various requirements in order to achieve an assembly power tool for non-threaded mechanical fastener design
that satisfies each requirement, so far as is reasonably practicable, and remains fit for purpose.

dropping, which can compromise its safety functions. Verification shall be carried out in accordance with 5.5.
4.3 Thermal safety
Surface temperatures of parts of the assembly power tool for non-threaded mechanical fasteners which 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 minimize the cooling effects of exhaust air on the handles and other
gripping zones.
4.4 Noise reduction
The assembly power tool for non-threaded mechanical fasteners 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 power tools with reduced noise
emission are contained in ISO/TR 11688-1 and ISO/TR 11688-2.
The noise emission from using power tools has three main sources:
 the assembly power tool for non-threaded mechanical fasteners itself;
 the inserted tool;
 the workpiece.
NOTE Generally, the noise emitted due to the characteristics of the workpiece cannot be controlled directly by the
manufacturer of the assembly power tool for non-threaded mechanical fasteners.

Typical sources of noise emitted by the assembly power tool for non-threaded mechanical fasteners itself are
a) the motor and drive mechanism,
b) the exhaust air or gases, and
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.
Alternatively, where practicable, the exhaust air or gases may 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.
