14、which is held by SNV. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by November 2011, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by November 2011. Attention is drawn to the
15、 possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free T
16、rade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s). For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. This European standard has been drawn up in co-operation with representatives of manufacturers of cartridge-operated
17、hand-held tools and health and safety authorities (Deutsche Gesetzliche Unfallversicherung (DGUV), Swedish Work Environment Authority). The Permanent International Commission for the Proof of Small-Arms, C.I.P. has given substantial contributions to this standard. The C.I.P. regulations pertinent to
18、 cartridge operated hand-held tools have been largely integrated in the present standard. Normative and informative annexes to this standard are indicated in the contents list. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are boun
19、d to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, S

The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events are covered are indicated in the scope of this
21、document. When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B standards, the provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards, for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this
22、type C standard. BS EN 15895:2011EN 15895:2011 (E) 5 1 Scope This European standard covers safety requirements for cartridge operated fixing and hard marking tools which operate with an intermediate member (piston). This European standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and
23、events relevant to cartridge operated fixing and hard marking tools, when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable (see Clause 4). It deals with the significant hazards in the different operating modes and intervention procedures as referred to in EN
24、ISO 12100-1:2003, 5.3. Although the safe use of cartridge operated tools depends to an important extent on the use of appropriate cartridges and fasteners, this standard is not formulating requirements for the cartridges and fasteners to be used with the tools (see Clause 7). This European Standard
25、applies to tools designed for use with cartridges with casings made of metal or plastic and with solid propellant and containing a minor quantity of primer with a composition different from that of the main propellant. The fixing tools in the scope are those intended for use with fasteners made from
26、 metal. NOTE Information about cartridges can be found in the publication of the Permanent International Commission for the Proof of Small Arms (C.I.P.). This European standard is not applicable to cartridge operated fixing and hard marking tools which are manufactured before the date of its publica
27、tion as EN. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.
