Itwas subsequently reorganized as an ASME Standards Committee
12、 and its title was changed toHand Tools and Accessories. In 1996, the Committees scope was expanded to include safetyconsiderations.The purpose of B107.400 is to define essential performance and safety requirements specificallyapplicable to the various striking tools covered herein. It specifies tes
13、t methods to evaluateperformance related to the defined requirements and safety, and indicates limitations of safe use.This Standard includesASME B107.41, Nail HammersASME B107.42, Hatchets and AxesASME B107.53, Ball-Peen HammersASME B107.54, Heavy Striking ToolsASME B107.56, Body Repair ToolsASME B
14、107.57, Bricklayers Hammers and Prospecting PicksASME B107.58, Riveting, Scaling, and Tinners Setting HammersIn addition to the consolidation of these individual striking tool standards into this Standard,principal changes are the uniform inclusion of performance requirements and test methods thatev
15、aluate both performance and safety as well as uniform format for sections on definitions,references, performance requirements, tests, and safety requirements and limitations of use.Members of the Hand Tools Institute Striking and Struck Tools Standards Committee, throughtheir knowledge and hard work
16、, 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 is in accordance with The ASME Codes ASME B107.42 was approved on December 10, 2008; ASME B107.53 was approved o
17、nAugust 5, 2008; ASME B107.54 was approved on September 4, 2008; ASME B107.56 was approvedon December 20, 2007; ASME B107.57 was approved on December 13, 2005; and ASME B107.58was approved on November 7, 2007.ivASME B107 COMMITTEEHand Tools and Accessories(The following is the roster of the Committe

22、sions,andattendingcommitteemeetings.Correspon-dence should be addressed to:Secretary, B107 Standards CommitteeThe American Society of Mechanical EngineersThree Park AvenueNew York, NY 10016-5990Proposing Revisions. Revisions are made periodically to the Standard to incorporate changesthatappearneces
23、saryor desirable,asdemonstratedbytheexperience gainedfromtheapplicationof the Standard. Approved revisions will be published periodically.The Committee welcomes proposals for revisions to this Standard. Such proposals should beas specific as possible, citing the paragraph number(s), the proposed wor
24、ding, 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 early implementation of an approved revision when the need is urgent, or toprovide rule
25、s not covered by existing provisions. Cases are effective immediately upon ASMEapproval and shall be posted on the ASME Committee Web page.Requests for Cases shall provide a Statement of Needand Background Information. The requestshould identify the standard, the paragraph, figure or table number(s)
26、, and be written as aQuestion and Reply in the same format as existing Cases. Requests for Cases should also indicatethe applicable edition(s) of the standard to which the proposed Case applies.Interpretations. Upon request,the B107 Committeewill renderan interpretation ofany require-ment of the Sta
27、ndard. Interpretations can only be rendered in response to a written request sentto the Secretary of the B107 Standards Committee.The request for interpretation should be clear and unambiguous. It is further recommendedthat the inquirer submit his/her request in the following format:Subject: Cite th
28、e applicable paragraph number(s) and the topic of the inquiry.Edition: Cite the applicable edition of the Standard for which the interpretation isbeing requested.Question: Phrase the question as a requestfor an interpretation of a specific requirementsuitable for general understanding and use, not a
29、s a request for an approvalof a proprietary design or situation. The inquirer may also include any plansor drawings that are necessary to explain the question; however, they shouldnot contain proprietary names or information.Requests that are not in this format will be rewritten in this format by th
30、e Committee priorto being answered, which may inadvertently change the intent of the original request.ASME procedures provide for reconsideration of any interpretation when or if additionalinformation that might affect an interpretation is available. Further, persons aggrieved by aninterpretation ma
31、y appeal to the cognizant ASME Committee or Subcommittee. ASME does not“approve,” “certify,” “rate,” or “endorse” any item, construction, proprietary device, or activity.Attending Committee Meetings. The B107 Committee regularly holds meetings, which are opento the public. Persons wishing to attend
