12、Committee B107 on Socket Wrenches and Drives was origi-nally under the sponsorship of The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). It wassubsequently reorganized as an ASME Standards Committee, and its title was changed to HandTools and Accessories. In 1996, the Committees scope was expanded
13、 to include safety considera-tions.The purpose of B107.410 is to define essential performance and safety requirements specificallyapplicableto thevarious strucktools coveredherein.It specifiestest methodsto evaluateperform-ance related to the defined requirements and safety, and indicates limitation

17、ese Standards, principal changes are theuniform inclusion of performance requirements and test methods that evaluate both performanceand safety as well as uniform format for sections on definitions, references, performance require-ments, tests, and safety requirements and limitations of use.Members
18、of the Hand Tools Institute, Striking and Struck Tools Standards Committee, throughtheir knowledge and hard work, have been major contributors to the development of the B107Standards. Their active efforts in the promotion of these standards is acknowledged andappreciated.The format of this Standard
19、is in accordance with The ASME Codes ASME B107.44 was approved on March 9, 2007; ASME B107.46 was approvedon May 25, 2004; ASME B107.48 was approved on March 14, 2005; ASME B107.49 was approvedon October 5, 2004; ASME B107.50 was approved on September 11, 2007; ASME B107.52 wasapproved on August 17,

25、visions are made periodically to the Standard to incorporate changesthatappearnecessaryor desirable,asdemonstratedbytheexperience gainedfromtheapplicationof the Standard. Approved revisions will be published periodically.The Committee welcomes proposals for revisions to this Standard. Such proposals
26、 should beas specific as possible, citing the paragraph number(s), the proposed wording, and a detaileddescription of the reasons for the proposal, including any pertinent documentation.Proposing a Case. Cases may be issued for the purpose of providing alternative rules whenjustified, to permit earl
