Overview
This part of ISO 11148 applies to hand-held non-electric power tools (hereafter referred to as "non-rotary percussive power tools") intended for chipping, riveting, breaking of concrete and asphalt, ramming, etcetera. The non-rotary percussive power tool can be powered by compressed air, hydraulic fluid or internal combustion engines and is intended for use by one operator and supported by the operator's hand or hands, with or without a suspension, for example, a balancer. This part of ISO 11148 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 non-rotary percussive power tools in potentially explosive atmospheres.
