EN 13204:2004+A1:2012 (E) 5 Introduction This document is a type C standard as stated in EN 1070. The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and 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 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 type C standard. When compiling this document, it was assumed that: a) the manufacturer shall design and/or use components without specific requirements in accordance with the usual engineering practice and calculation codes, including all failure modes; b) only trained and competent persons whilst wearing gloves (which comply to EN 659), will use and operate the machinery; c) the machinery is kept in good repair and working order, so that the required characteristics remain despite wear; d) the working place is adequately lit; e) negociations occur between the manufacturer and the purchaser concerning particular conditions for the use and places of use for the machinery related to health and safety.

EN 13204:2004+A1:2012 (E) 6 1 Scope This document deals with the technical requirements to minimise the risks of hazards listed in Clause 4 which can arise during the operation and/or maintenance of double acting hydraulic rescue tool systems, when carried out as intended by the manufacturer or his authorised representative. All the safety requirements of this document apply to double acting hydraulic rescue tools manufactured after the date of publication. Double acting hydraulic rescue tool systems are intended for use by the fire fighting and rescue services, principally for cutting through, spreading or pushing apart the structural parts of road vehicles, ships, trains, aircraft's and building structures involved in accidents. They consist, as defined in Clause 3 of a separate power pack, the tool[s] and the necessary interconnections and intended accessories. NOTE 1 The aim is to assist whilst extracting the casualties or to create a working space for paramedical services taking the local conditions into account. This document does not establish the additional requirements for: a) operation in severe conditions (e.g. extreme environmental conditions such as: temperatures outside the range –20 °C +55 °C, corrosive environment, tropical environment, contaminating environments, strong magnetic fields, potentially explosive atmospheres); b) the risk directly arising from the means provided for the portability, transportability and mobility of double-acting hydraulic rescue tools during periods of their operation. NOTE 2 For the EU/EEA other Directives can be applicable to the equipment in the scope, for example the Electro Magnetic Compatibility Directive. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

NOTE This specific risk assessment is part of the general risk assessment relating to the hazards not covered by this type C standard. Hydraulic rescue tool systems shall comply with all safety requirements specified in EN 982. Next the systems shall have sufficient immunity to electromagnetic disturbances to enable them to operate safely as intended and not fail to danger when exposed to the levels and types of disturbances intended by the manufacturer. 5.1.1.2 Speed The opening or closing times of any hydraulic rescue tools shall not be less than 2 s. 5.1.1.3 Manual control actuator 5.1.1.3.1 The manual control actuator shall be: a) located on the tool itself; b) designed to be activated by one operator only; c) designed to enable to operate the tools with a variable speed; d) designed as a hold-to-run control device; e) designed for operators wearing gloves during the operation. 5.1.1.3.2 When the manual control actuator is engaged the arm(s)/jaw(s)/blade(s) or in the case of rams the feet, shall only move in the direction that is indicated on the tool or the actuator itself. 5.1.1.3.3 When the manual control actuator is moved from the engaged position to the neutral position, all moving parts (i.e. arms, blades, jaws, feet) of the tool shall stop within 0,5 s and remain in their respective positions for at least 5 min ± 15 s whilst the power pack is providing hydraulic fluid to the tool. 5.1.1.3.4 In all operating directions, there shall be no movement under nominal load more than 1 % of the nominal opening distance of all tools (cutters excluded), when the manual control actuator is in the neutral position. The tool shall be allowed a settling time of no more than 5 min.
