ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the

DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/DIS 11148-13:2023(E)
Hand-held non-electric power tools — Safety
requirements —
Part 13:
Fastener driving tools
1 Scope
This document specifies safety requirements for hand-held non-electric power tools (hereinafter
referred to as “fastener driving tools”) intended for installation of a fastener (see Annex B), forming
a mechanical connection or attachment with the workpiece which is, for example, wood and wood-
based materials, plastic materials, fibre materials (loose or compacted), cementitious materials,
metals and combinations of these materials. The fastener driving tools for fasteners can be powered
by compressed air or combustible gases (which may be ignited by a battery or accumulator) and the
energy is transmitted to an impacted element by an intermediary component that does not leave the
device. These tools are intended to be used by one operator and supported by the operator's hand or
hands, with or without a suspension, e.g. a balancer.
This document is applicable to fastener driving tools in which energy is applied to a loaded fastener for
the purpose of driving this into a workpiece.
This document is not applicable to fastener driving tools in which the energy for driving fasteners is
drawn from powder-actuated cartridges, hydraulics or from any type of electrical supply.
This document does not deal with special requirements and modifications of hand-held power tools for
the purpose of mounting them in a fixture.
This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events relevant
to fastener driving tools for fasteners when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse
which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer, with the exception of the use of power tools in
potentially explosive atmospheres.
NOTE ISO 80079–36 gives requirements for non-electrical equipment for potentially explosive atmospheres.

4 Safety requirements and measures
4.1 General
The machine shall comply with the following safety requirements and/or protective measures and be
verified in accordance with Clause 5. In addition, the machine shall be designed in accordance with the
principles of ISO 12100:2010 for relevant, but not necessarily significant, hazards, which are not dealt
with by this document.
The measures adopted to comply with the requirements of Clause 4 shall take account of the state of
the art.
It is recognized that optimizing the design with respect to some safety measures can result in a
degradation of performance against other safety requirements. In such cases, it is required to strike a
balance between the various requirements in order to achieve a fastener driving tool that satisfies each
requirement, so far as is reasonably practicable, and remains fit for purpose.
4.2 Mechanical safety
4.2.1 Protection against points and edges of fasteners
Fastener driving tools shall be designed in such a way as to prevent injuries caused by the projecting
points or edges of fasteners, for example by a protection cover. Exceptions are permissible at the location
of the nose if there are technological reasons for such exceptions, for example, on fastener driving tools
designed for driving fasteners through holes of punched metal sheets in which the fastener points are
used as a locator.
4.2.2 Prevention of unintended ejection of fasteners
4.2.2.1 Prevention of unintended ejection of fasteners during connection/disconnection of the
energy supply system
4.2.2.1.1 Connection of the fastener driving tool to the energy supply system shall not cause a driving
operation by the tool.
4.2.2.1.2 Disconnection of the fastener driving tool from the energy supply system shall make the
tool incapable of a driving operation.
4.2.2.1.3 Pneumatic tools shall be designed to allow the fitting of a quick release coupler.
ISO/DIS 11148-13:2023(E)
4.2.2.2 Prevention of accidental trigger operation
The design of fastener driving tools and the placement of the trigger shall be such as to prevent
unintentional operation, for example, when the tool is placed on, picked up from or moved across, a
work surface.
4.2.2.3 Prevention of slipping of fasteners from hard or slippery surfaces
Tools, with workpiece contacts designed to normally push against surfaces like steel, concrete or plastic
shall be designed in such a way that the likelihood of the fastener to slip from the surface is reduced to
a minimum.
4.2.2.4 Trigger time-out period
The duration of the trigger time-out period shall be specified by the manufacturer and shall not exceed
5 seconds.
4.2.3 Prevention of free flight of fasteners
4.2.3.1 Fastener driving tools shall be fitted with an extended workpiece contact or a retracted
workpiece contact element. No driving operation shall be performed before the workpiece contact is
activated. The extended workpiece contact shall have a minimum of 5 mm travel before a fastener can
be driven. A workpiece contact is not required on light duty tools.
NOTE The requirements for retracted workpiece contacts are given in 4.2.4.2.
For tools, other than light-duty tools, it might not be practical to meet the requirements of 4.2.3.1 and
for those tools, a workpiece contact is not required, provided the requirements of 4.2.3.2, 4.2.3.3 or
4.2.3.4 are met.
4.2.3.2 Pinners driving fasteners up to 51 mm in length and a maximum 23 gauge (0,64 mm), where
viewing/accurate placement is necessary, shall operate by a dual activation device which only operates
by two sequential dissimilar actions.
4.2.3.3 Tools are designed with moving anvils which prevent the fastener from free flight.
Note Examples include: carton closing staplers, hog-ring, and sisal/bedding tools with fixed anvils, carton
pliers.
4.2.3.4 Free flight of fasteners is prevented by design and application of the tool.
Note Examples include: hardwood flooring tools, multi-blow metal hardware nailers and palm nailers.
4.2.4 Design of the workpiece contact
4.2.4.1 Extended workpiece contact
To minimize the possibility of a free flying fastener occurrence by accidentally touching the workpiece
with the edge or corner of the workpiece contact, and therefore placing the nose outside the workpiece
surface, or while being transported, the external dimensions of the workpiece contact (Figure 3) should
not be greater than values greater than shown in Table 1.

4.2.4.2 Retracted workpiece contact
A retracted workpiece contact shall either, only operate when a force equal to the mass as specified
in Table 2, including maximum weight of fasteners, is applied or after the workpiece contact makes
contact with the workpiece. In all tool orientations, the workpiece contact shall reliably return to its
starting position.
4.2.4.3 Intended resting position
Fastener driving tools and workpiece contacts shall be designed in such a way that the workpiece
contact does not operate the trigger system when the tool is set down in its intended resting position as
specified by the manufacturer. Tools which, in their specified resting position, are also resting on their
workpiece contact, shall comply with the test in 5.2.4.3.
