(Main)Powered rescue tools for fire and rescue service use - Safety and performance requirements
Powered rescue tools for fire and rescue service use - Safety and performance requirements
This document specifies safety and performance requirements for powered rescue tools manufactured after the date of publication.
This document is applicable to powered rescue tools which are intended for use by the firefighting and rescue services, principally for cutting, crushing, spreading, squeezing, pushing or pulling the structural parts of road vehicles, ships, trains, aircraft and building structures involved in accidents. This document is not applicable to hydraulic power packs covered by 2000/14/EC.
Powered rescue tools consist of tool(s) and the necessary system components (e.g. energy source, drive system and prime mover) and intended accessories, as defined in Clause 3.
This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events relevant to the machinery, when it is used as intended and under conditions or misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer.
NOTE 1 The aim of powered rescue tools is to assist the firefighting and rescue services while extracting the casualties or to create a working space for paramedical services taking the local conditions into account.
This document does not include:
- tools with pneumatic drive systems or pneumatic energy sources;
- tools which are single acting (for example spring /gravity return jacks, powered struts, etc.).
It is not applicable to additional requirements for:
a) operation in severe conditions (e.g. extreme environmental conditions such as temperatures outside the range –20 °C and +55 °C, corrosive environment, tropical environment, contaminating environments, strong magnetic fields, potentially explosive atmospheres, underwater use);
b) the risk directly arising from the means provided for the portability, transportability, mobility and decommissioning of powered rescue tools during periods of their operation;
c) generic tools such as, but not limited to, powered drills, angle grinders, saws, not solely intended for extrication purposes;
d) tools intended to lift and/or hoist, not solely intended for extrication purposes.
NOTE 2 EN 13731:2007 deals with lifting bag systems for fire and rescue services.
NOTE 3 For the EU/EEA other Directives can be applicable to the equipment in the scope, for example the Electro Magnetic Compatibility Directive.

Le présent document spécifie les exigences de sécurité et de performance des outils de sauvetage motorisés fabriqués après sa date de publication.
Le présent document s'applique aux outils de sauvetage motorisés destinés aux services d'incendie et de secours, principalement pour découper, briser, écarter, écraser, pousser ou tirer sur les parties structurelles des véhicules routiers, des bateaux, des trains, des avions et des structures de bâtiments impliquées dans les accidents. Le présent document ne s’applique pas aux groupes hydrauliques couverts par 2000/14/CE.
Les outils de sauvetage motorisés sont constitués d’un ou plusieurs outils et des composants de système nécessaires (par exemple source d'énergie, système d'entraînement et moteur d'entraînement) ainsi que des accessoires prévus, tels que définis à l'Article 3.
Le présent document traite tous les phénomènes dangereux, situations dangereuses ou événements dangereux significatifs qui sont pertinents pour ces machines, lorsqu'elles sont utilisées normalement et dans les conditions de mauvais usage raisonnablement prévisibles par le fabricant.
NOTE 1 L'objectif des outils de sauvetage motorisés est d’assister les services de lutte contre l’incendie et de secours lors de l'extraction des blessés ou à créer un espace de travail pour les équipes paramédicales en tenant compte de la situation rencontrée.
Le présent document ne traite pas :
— des outils avec systèmes d'entraînement pneumatiques ou sources d'énergie pneumatiques ;
— des outils à simple effet (par exemple vérin à rappel par ressort/gravité, vérins de commande, etc.).
Il ne s'applique pas aux exigences supplémentaires pour :
a) le fonctionnement dans des conditions très difficiles (par exemple, des conditions d'environnement extrêmes telles que des températures en dehors de la plage –20 °C et +55 °C, un environnement corrosif, un milieu tropical, un environnement contaminant, des champs magnétiques intenses ou des atmosphères potentiellement explosibles, un environnement subaquatique) ;
b) les risques découlant directement des moyens utilisés pour la portabilité, la transportabilité, la mobilité et la mise hors service des outils de désincarcération au cours de leur utilisation ;
c) les outils divers tels que, sans toutefois s'y limiter, les perceuses électriques, les ponceuses d'angle, les scies, qui ne sont pas exclusivement destinés à des applications de désincarcération ;
d) les outils conçus pour le levage et/ou le treuillage, qui ne sont pas exclusivement destinés à des applications de désincarcération.
NOTE 2 L'EN 13731:2007 traite des coussins de levage à l'usage des services d'incendie et de secours.
NOTE 3 Pour l'UE/EEE, d'autres directives peuvent s'appliquer aux équipements concernés par le présent domaine d’application, par exemple la Directive Compatibilité Électromagnétique.

Introduction
This document is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100:2010.
This document is of relevance, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups representing the market
players with regard to machinery safety:
— machine manufacturers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organizations, market surveillance, etc.).
Others can be affected by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of the document by the
above-mentioned stakeholder groups:
— machine users/employers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— machine users/employees (e.g. trade unions, organizations for people with special needs);
— service providers, e.g. for maintenance (small, medium and large enterprises);
— consumers (in the case of machinery intended for use by consumers)
The above-mentioned stakeholder groups have been given the possibility to participate at the drafting
process of this document.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events are
covered are indicated in the Scope of this document.
When provisions of this type-C standard are different from those which are stated in type-A or type-B
standards, the requirements of this type-C standard take precedence over the requirements of the other
standards for machines that have been designed and built according to the requirements of this type-C
standard.
When compiling this document, it was assumed that:
a) the manufacturer designs and/or uses components without specific requirements in accordance
with the good engineering practice and calculation codes, taking into account all foreseeable failure
modes;
b) only trained and competent persons will use and operate the machinery;
c) the machinery is kept in good repair and working order, by a trained and competent person, so that
the required characteristics remain despite wear;
d) the working place is adequately lit;
e) negotiations occur between the manufacturer and the purchaser concerning particular conditions
for the use and places of use for the machinery related to performance and health and safety.
f) the manufacturer considers and minimizes the impact to the environment during all stages of the
product life cycle.
