Full title and description

ISO 11148-1:2011 — Hand-held non-electric power tools — Safety requirements — Part 1: Assembly power tools for non-threaded mechanical fasteners. This International Standard specifies safety requirements for hand-held, non-electric assembly power tools used to install, tighten or remove non‑threaded mechanical fasteners (for example rivets, rivet nuts, plugs and lockbolts) and covers tools powered by compressed air, hydraulic fluid or internal combustion engines and intended to be operated and supported by one operator.

Abstract

ISO 11148-1:2011 addresses the significant hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events relevant to assembly power tools for non‑threaded mechanical fasteners when used as intended and under reasonably foreseeable misuse. It defines requirements applicable to breakstem rivet/fastener tools, breakstem lockbolt tools, mandrel‑loaded riveting tools and rivet nut setters, and it excludes special fixture‑mounted modifications and use in potentially explosive atmospheres.

Scope

Specifies safety requirements for hand‑held non‑electric assembly power tools intended for installation, tightening or removal of breakstem and non‑breakstem rivets, bolts, plugs and similar fasteners from one side of a workpiece. Applies to tools driven by compressed air, hydraulic fluid or internal combustion engines and intended for use by one operator (hand‑held or with suspension). Not applicable to tools modified for mounting in fixtures or intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.

Key topics and requirements

• Hazard identification and coverage of foreseeable misuse for assembly power tools.
• Design and construction requirements to reduce mechanical, aerodynamic and operational hazards (including control layouts and guarding where applicable).
• Requirements relating to energy sources used (compressed air, hydraulic fluid, internal combustion) and safe handling of exhaust and pressure systems.
• Marking, instructions for safe use, maintenance and testing/inspection information for manufacturers to provide with the tool.
• Specific applicability to breakstem rivet/fastener tools, lockbolt tools, mandrel loaded riveting tools and rivet nut setters; exclusions for fixture‑mounted modifications and explosive atmospheres.

Typical use and users

Used by manufacturers, product designers and safety engineers to design and certify hand‑held assembly tools; by procurement and quality teams to specify safe equipment for production lines; by test laboratories and conformity assessment bodies for compliance checks; and by technical trainers, maintenance staff and end‑users (assembly operators) as a reference for safe operation and maintenance practices.

Related standards

ISO 11148-1 is part of the ISO 11148 series covering safety requirements for hand‑held non‑electric power tools (other parts address different tool types such as die grinders, compression tools, etc.). National/adopted equivalents include harmonized versions such as BS EN ISO 11148-1:2011.
