This International Standard specifies test methods for the measurement, determination and declaration of the noise emission from hand-held non-electric power tools. It prescribes the loading and working conditions under which can be determined
the noise emission, under specified load conditions, expressed as the sound power level, andthe emission sound pressure level at the work station under specified load conditions.
This International Standard is applicable to typical hand-held non-electric power tools including rotary tools, orbital and random orbital sanders, rotary and non-rotary reciprocating and percussive tools and a variety of assembly tools. It is not applicable to cartridge-operated tools, fastener driving tools (e.g. nailers, staplers) or any tool powered by an internal combustion engine, nor is it applicable to breakers or other power tools which, when placed on the market, are required to meet the provisions of legislation specifying test methods and imposing limits on noise emission from, for example, equipment used outdoors.
NOTE The noise code could also be applied to other equipment such as winches, pneumatic motors, auto-feed drills and tappers, pumps, hydraulic motors and screw feed systems, provided their principles of operation were in accordance with those of pneumatic and hydraulic equipment.

This standard applies to fastener driving tools. The noise created by fastener driving tools directly affecting the surrounding environment (noise emission) should calculated in a uniform procedure enabling comparison of the final results. This standard contains provisions concerning the execution of the measurement of airborne noise in the vicinity of fastener driving tools and the measurement of emission sound pressure levels at the work station under defined operating conditions.
The determination of the noise emission levels of fastener driving tools in accordance with this standard is valid for all actuating systems in accordance with EN 792-13.
The results can be used to compare the noise emissions of different fastener driving tools.
NOTE   The special conditions at the work place (e.g. shape and foundation of the workpiece, quantity and frequency of the driving processes) can influence the noise emission to an important degree.

This standard is applicable to fastener driving tools which are handled by one person and in which energy in a linear movement is applied to a loaded fastener for the purpose of driving this into a workpiece of a determined material. During the driving operation, the fastener leaves the tool partially or entirely, with sufficient velocity to overcome the resistance of penetration, and forms a mechanical connection or attachment of different workpieces. The energy required for driving a fastener is provided by compressed air or combustible gases.
NOTE 1   Fastener driving tools are also referred to for example as Nailers, Staplers, Tackers, Pinners.
NOTE 2   The workpiece material can, for example, consist of wood, wooden materials, plastic material, fibre materials - loose or condensed, cement- and lime materials, metal.
This standard contains requirements for the design, marking and information for use of fastener driving tools, corresponding to the specific hazards listed in clause 4. The standard sets out the means of verification for these requirements.
Where, for clarity, an example of a safety measure is given in the text, this shall not be considered as the only possible solution. Any other solution leading to the same risk reduction is permissible if an equivalent level of safety is achieved.
This standard is applicable to fastener driving tools which have been produced after the date of publication of the standard.
This standard is not applicable to stapling pliers and vibration hammers.
NOTE 3   "Stapling pliers" are handheld power operated tools equipped with a fixed or moving anvil bar in front of the muzzle, which are used predominantly for joining paper, leather, textiles and similar materials.
This standard is not applicable to fastener driving tools in which the energy for driving fasteners is drawn from cartridges or from any type of electric supply.

This standard is applicable to fastener driving tools which are handled by one person and in which energy in a linear movement is applied to a loaded fastener for the purpose of driving this into a workpiece of a determined material. During the driving operation, the fastener leaves the tool partially or entirely with sufficient velocity to overcome the resistance of penetration, and forms a mechanical connection or attachment of different workpieces.

This standard applies to fastener driving tools. The noise created by fastener driving tools directly affecting the surrounding environment (noise emission) should calculated in a uniform procedure enabling comparison of the final results. This standard contains provisions concerning the execution of the measurement of airborne noise in the vicinity of fastener driving tools and the measurement of emission sound pressure levels at the work station under defined operating conditions.   The determination of the noise emission levels of fastener driving tools in accordance with this standard is valid for all actuating systems in accordance with EN 792-13.  The results can be used to compare the noise emissions of different fastener driving tools.  NOTE: The special conditions at the work place (e.g. shape and foundation of the workpiece, quantity and frequency of the driving processes) can influence the noise emission to an important degree.
