1 Scope
This European Standard deals with the technical requirements to minimize the risks of hazards listed in
Annex A 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 authorized 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 firefighting and rescue services,
principally for cutting through, spreading or pushing apart the structural parts of road vehicles, ships, trains,
aircraft and building structures involved in accidents. They consist of a separate power pack, the tool[s] and
the necessary interconnections and intended accessories, as defined in Clause 3 – Terms and definitions.
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 European Standard 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.
