Full title and description

ISO 11148-10:2011 — Hand-held non-electric power tools — Safety requirements — Part 10: Compression power tools. Specifies safety requirements for hand‑held non‑electric compression power tools used for squeeze riveting, punching, shaping, pressing and cutting of metal, plastics or other materials; corrected English version published April 2012.

Abstract

Specifies safety requirements applicable to hand‑held non‑electric compression power tools (powered by compressed air or hydraulic fluid) intended to be used by one operator and supported by the operator’s hand(s), with or without suspension. Applicable tool types include crimping tools, collar splitters, metal‑forming tools (edge formers, folding tools, swagers), nut splitter heads, presses, punches, squeeze riveters, cutting tools with parallel knives and alligator‑jaw compression riveters. Excludes tools modified for mounting in fixtures and use in potentially explosive atmospheres.

Scope

Covers safety requirements, hazard reduction measures and verification for hand‑held non‑electric compression power tools intended for forming, pressing, punching and cutting operations on metal, plastics and similar materials. The standard addresses hazards and reasonably foreseeable misuse (except use in potentially explosive atmospheres) and is intended for tools powered by compressed air or hydraulic fluid and supported by the operator’s hand(s). It does not include special requirements for tools permanently mounted in fixtures.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions and classification of compression power tools and accessories.
• Identification and assessment of relevant hazards and hazardous situations associated with compression operations.
• Essential safety design requirements (mechanical guarding, controls, locking/actuation, pressure components and safe energy transmission).
• Requirements for pneumatic/hydraulic connections, exhausts and attachments to minimise risk to operator and bystanders.
• Verification and testing provisions to confirm compliance with safety requirements.
• Marking, instructions for safe use, maintenance, and information for the purchaser/user.

The list above follows the structure and principal safety themes addressed in ISO 11148 series parts and is consistent with the subject matter described in the ISO 11148‑10 abstract and related part descriptions.

Typical use and users

Used by manufacturers and designers of hand‑held compression tools, conformity assessment bodies, test laboratories, product safety and compliance engineers, procurement specialists specifying safe tool selection, and occupational health & safety professionals who set or enforce safe work procedures for compression‑type hand tools.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: An ISO international standard (ISO 11148‑10:2011) specifying safety requirements for hand‑held non‑electric compression power tools used for forming, pressing, punching and cutting tasks.

Q: What does it cover?

A: Safety design requirements, hazard assessment, verification/testing and information for users for the family of compression tools listed in the scope (crimpers, presses, squeeze riveters, nut splitters, certain cutting tools, etc.). It excludes tools mounted in fixtures and use in explosive atmospheres.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Tool manufacturers and designers, conformity assessment and test labs, safety/compliance engineers, procurement and OHS professionals responsible for tool selection, testing and safe‑use documentation.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 11148‑10:2011 (with corrected English version April 2012) is published and was confirmed following ISO systematic review; it was confirmed on 21 June 2022 and remains current as the edition in force. Always check national adoption or newer revisions before relying on the standard for certification decisions.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is Part 10 of the ISO 11148 multi‑part series covering safety requirements for hand‑held non‑electric power tools; several other parts cover drills, grinders, saws, nibblers, fastener driving tools and assembly tools.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Compression power tools, pneumatic, hydraulic, hand‑held tools, safety requirements, squeeze riveting, punching, presses, ISO 11148‑10.
