DIN EN 792-8:2009-12

This standard applies to non-electric, hand-held power tools intended to be used in operation by one person using one or both hands, where the weight of the power tools is supported by the operator or by a harness or suspended e. g. by a balancer. The power tools are driven by rotary or linear motors powered by compressed air, hydraulic fluid, gaseous or liquid fuel or stored energy (e. g. by a spring). Electrically driven tools are not included. The standard lists the significant hazards caused by hand-held power tools.
