This document is applicable to tools with single sequential actuation, contact actuation, contact actuation with automatic reversion or continual contact actuation (see Figures 1 to 3). This document is not applicable to tools operating in full sequential mode due to their much longer intervals in between individual actuations.

ISO 11148-6:2010 does not cover special requirements and modifications of assembly power tools for threaded fasteners for the purpose of mounting them in fixtures. ISO 11148-6:2010 deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events when the tools are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer, with the exception of the use of assembly power tools for threaded fasteners in potentially explosive atmospheres.

ISO 11148-3:2010 applies to hand-held non-electric power tools (hereafter referred to as “drills and tappers”) intended for rotary drilling of holes in all kinds of material, e.g. wood, metal, concrete, plastics, etc., or for tapping and cleaning threads in metal and plastics. The drills and tappers can be powered by compressed air, hydraulic fluid or internal combustion engines and are intended for use by one operator and supported by the operator's hand or hands, with or without a suspension, e.g. a balancer. ISO 11148-3:2010 is applicable to drills, heavy duty drills with two handles and tappers. Examples of drills and tappers covered by ISO 11148-3:2010 are shown. ISO 11148-3:2010 is not applicable to special requirements and modifications of drills and tappers for the purpose of mounting them in fixtures. ISO 11148-3:2010 deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events when drills and tappers are used as intended and under conditions of misuse that are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer, with the exception of their use in potentially explosive atmospheres.

ISO 28927-1:2009 specifies a laboratory method for measuring hand-transmitted vibration emission at the handles of hand-held power-driven angle and vertical grinders. It is a type-test procedure for establishing the magnitude of vibration in the gripping areas of a machine fitted with a specified test wheel and run under no‑load conditions. The method has been established for surface grinding tasks only (cutting and sanding generally create lower vibrations). It is intended that the results be used to compare different models of the same type of machine. ISO 28927-1:2009 is applicable to hand-held machines, driven pneumatically or by other means, intended for grinding, cutting-off and rough sanding, with bonded, coated and super-abrasive products for use on all kinds of materials. It is not applicable to grinders used with wire brushes or to die or straight grinders.

This part of ISO 8662 specifies a laboratory method for measuring the single-event vibration at the handle of fastener driving tools, where a single event is a mechanical shock or a series of individual shocks at intervals longer than 0,2 s. It is a type test procedure for establishing the vibration value in the handle of a hand-held power tool operating under a specified load. NOTE Fastener driving tools are also referred to as nailers, pinners, tackers and staplers. For fastener driving tools to which this part of ISO 8662 is applicable, the power required for operation can be supplied by pneumatic or hydraulic pressure, combustible gases in an internal combustion engine or from spring tension. The fastener driving tools may be actuated by single actuation, contact actuation or continuous actuation. This part of ISO 8662 is applicable to fasteners comprising nails, staples, pins, corrugated fasteners, screws used as nails, dowels, sleeves, cable collars and base supports. It is intended that the results of application of this part of ISO 8662 be used for comparing different models of the same type of power tool.
