Overview

EN 13204:2004/prA1 (also referenced as EN 13204:2004/FprA1) is a CEN draft amendment addressing double acting hydraulic rescue tools used by fire and rescue services. Prepared by CEN/TC 192, the amendment updates safety and performance requirements to align with the revised Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, adds editorial clarifications, and adjusts verification, marking and information requirements. This document is intended for manufacturers, test laboratories and procurement/specification teams concerned with hydraulic rescue equipment compliance.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Safety of quick-action couplings: Couplings must have a locking device requiring at least two separate manual actions to disconnect, preventing accidental uncoupling during operation.
• Information for use:
  • Instruction manuals must include noise emission declarations in accordance with Annex B.
  • Vibration information: Manufacturers must state hand‑arm vibration total value for portable hand‑held/hand‑guided tools if it exceeds 2.5 m/s²; if below, manuals may state the emission is below that threshold.
  • Spare parts: Specifications for spare parts that affect operator health and safety must be supplied.
• Marking requirements: Markings must include the manufacturer’s business name and full address, equipment designation, series/type and year of construction. A note clarifies CE marking applicability in the EEA under relevant directives (e.g., Machinery).
• Verification and references: Several figure and table references are renumbered for clarity in Clauses 5 and 6. Annex B references and acoustic standards are updated (e.g., inclusion of EN ISO 11546-1 / 11546-2). A noise threshold in an informative clause was revised (third indent changed from 85 dB to 80 dB).
• Normative relationship to EU law: New informative Annex ZB explains how compliance with this standard confers a presumption of conformity with essential requirements of 2006/42/EC, with specified exceptions (sub‑clauses 5.2 and 6.3).

Applications and users

• Manufacturers of hydraulic rescue tools use the standard to design, mark and document products to meet safety and performance expectations.
• Fire and rescue services and procurement officers reference the standard when specifying equipment for operational use.
• Test laboratories and conformity assessors apply the verification clauses and acoustic/vibration measurement guidance.
• Safety engineers and maintenance teams use the spare‑parts and information requirements to manage lifecycle safety.

Related standards

• EN 13204:2004 (base standard)
• EN ISO 11546-1 / EN ISO 11546-2 (acoustics - sound insulation/declaration)
• EN ISO 11820 (referenced for related acoustic guidance)
• Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC (regulatory context)

Keywords: EN 13204:2004/FprA1, hydraulic rescue tools, double acting, fire and rescue, safety and performance requirements, Machinery Directive, noise emission, hand‑arm vibration, quick action couplings, CE marking.
