Cartridge operated hand-held tools - Safety requirements - Fixing and hard marking tools

This European standard covers safety requirements for cartridge operated fixing and hard marking tools which operate with an intermediate member (piston).
This European standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to cartridge operated fixing and hard marking tools, when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable (see Clause 4). It deals with the significant hazards in the different operating modes and intervention procedures as referred to in EN ISO 12100:2010, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6.
Although the safe use of cartridge operated tools depends to an important extent on the use of appropriate cartridges and fasteners, this standard is not formulating requirements for the cartridges and fasteners to be used with the tools (see Clause 7).
This European Standard applies to tools designed for use with cartridges with casings made of metal or plastic and with solid propellant and containing a minor quantity of primer with a composition different from that of the main propellant.
The fixing tools in the scope are those intended for use with fasteners made from metal.
NOTE   Information about cartridges can be found in the publication of the Permanent International Commission for the Proof of Small Arms (C.I.P.).
This European standard is not applicable to cartridge operated fixing and hard marking tools which are manufactured before the date of its publication as EN.

Kartuschenbetriebene handgehaltene Werkzeuge - Sicherheit - Befestigungs- und Markierwerkzeuge

Diese Europäische Norm behandelt Sicherheitsanforderungen für kartuschenbetriebene Befestigungs- und Markierwerkzeuge, die mit einem Zwischenglied (Kolben) funktionieren.
Diese Europäische Norm befasst sich mit allen signifikanten Gefährdungen, Gefährdungssituationen und Ereignissen, die auftreten können, wenn kartuschenbetriebene Befestigungs- und Markierwerkzeuge wie vorgesehen verwendet werden oder unter Bedingungen einer vernünftigerweise vorhersehbaren Fehlanwendung (siehe Abschnitt 4). Sie behandelt die signifikanten Gefährdungen in den verschiedenen Betriebsarten sowie Eingriffsmöglichkeiten nach !EN ISO 12100:2010, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6".
Obwohl die Gebrauchssicherheit kartuschenbetriebener Werkzeuge in erheblichem Maß von der Verwendung geeigneter Kartuschen und Befestigungselemente abhängig ist, formuliert diese Norm keine Anforderungen an die mit den Werkzeugen zu verwendenden Kartuschen und Befestigungselemente (siehe Abschnitt 7).
Diese Europäische Norm gilt für Werkzeuge, die für die Verwendung von Kartuschen mit Hülsen aus Metall oder Kunststoff sowie festem Treibmittel vorgesehen sind, welche eine geringe Menge Zündmittel mit einer von der des Haupttreibmittels abweichenden Zusammensetzung enthalten.
Die in den Anwendungsbereich fallenden Befestigungswerkzeuge sind jene, die für den Gebrauch mit Befestigungselementen aus Metall vorgesehen sind.
ANMERKUNG Angaben zu Kartuschen sind den Veröffentlichungen der Ständigen Internationalen Kommission zur Prüfung von Handfeuerwaffen (C.I.P, en: Commission for the Proof of Small Arms) zu entnehmen.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt nicht für kartuschenbetriebene Befestigungs- und Markierwerkzeuge, die vor dem Datum ihrer Veröffentlichung als EN hergestellt werden.

Outils portatifs à charge propulsive - Exigences de sécurité - Outils de scellement et de marquage

La présente Norme européenne couvre les exigences de sécurité relatives aux outils portatifs de scellement et de marquage à charge propulsive, qui fonctionnent avec un élément intermédiaire (piston).
La présente Norme européenne traite de l’ensemble des phénomènes dangereux, des situations dangereuses et des événements dangereux significatifs qui sont liés aux outils de scellement et de marquage à charge propulsive lorsque ces outils sont utilisés conformément à l’usage prévu et dans des conditions de mauvais usage raisonnablement prévisibles (voir l’Article 4). Elle traite des phénomènes dangereux significatifs dans les différents modes de fonctionnement et procédures d’intervention tels que mentionnés dans l’EN ISO 12100:2010, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6.
Bien que l’usage sûr des outils à charge propulsive dépende, dans une large mesure, de l’emploi de cartouches et d’éléments de fixation appropriés, la présente norme ne formule pas d’exigences relatives aux cartouches et aux éléments de fixation devant être utilisés avec les outils (voir l’Article  7).
La présente Norme européenne est applicable aux outils conçus pour être utilisés avec des cartouches munies d’étuis en métal ou en matière plastique et avec une charge propulsive pyrotechnique solide et qui contiennent une faible quantité de matière d’amorçage dont la composition diffère de celle de la cartouche pyrotechnique principale.
Les outils de scellement du domaine d’application sont ceux destinés à être utilisés avec des éléments de fixation en métal.
NOTE   Les informations relatives aux cartouches sont données dans la publication de la Commission Internationale Permanente pour l’épreuve des armes à feu portatives (C.I.P).
La présente Norme européenne n’est pas applicable aux outils de scellement et de marquage à charge propulsive qui sont fabriqués avant la date de publication de cette Norme européenne.

Ročna orodja z nabojnim delovanjem - Varnostne zahteve - Pritrjevalniki in označevalniki (vključno z dopolnilom A1)

Ta evropski standard zajema varnostne zahteve za pritrjevalnike in označevalnike z nabojnim delovanjem, ki za delovanje uporabljajo vmesni element (bat).
Ta evropski standard obravnava vsa večja tveganja, nevarne situacije in nevarne dogodke v zvezi s pritrjevalniki in označevalniki z nabojnim delovanjem, kadar se uporabljajo v skladu z njihovim namenom in pod pogoji razumno predvidene nepravilne uporabe (glejte točko 4). Obravnava večja tveganja pri različnih načinih delovanja in intervencijske postopke, opisane v standardu EN ISO 12100:2010, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6.
Čeprav je varna uporaba orodij z nabojnim delovanjem v veliki meri odvisna od uporabe ustreznih kartuš in pritrdilnih elementov, ta standard ne določa zahtev za kartuše in pritrdilne elemente, ki so namenjeni za uporabo na orodjih (glejte točko 7).
Ta evropski standard se uporablja za orodja, ki so namenjena za uporabo s kartušami s kovinskim ali plastičnim ohišjem in trdo pogonsko snovjo, ki vsebujejo manjšo količino vžigalnega sredstva, katerega sestava se razlikuje od glavne pogonske snovi.
Pritrjevalniki, ki sodijo na to področje, so namenjeni za uporabo s kovinskimi pritrdilnimi elementi.
OPOMBA:   Informacije o kartušah je mogoče najti v publikaciji Stalne mednarodne komisije za preskušanje osebnega orožja (C. I. P.).
Ta evropski standard se ne uporablja za pritrjevalnike in označevalnike z nabojnim delovanjem, ki so bili proizvedeni pred objavo te publikacije kot standarda EN.
