NF EN ISO 9012, A84-532 (10/2023)

This document specifies the requirements and test methods for air-aspirated aero-gas hand torches. This document applies to torches intended for hard soldering, soft soldering, heating, melting and other similar thermal processes, using combustible gas and suction air (induced air torch), designed for manual use. This document also applies to: — manual air-aspirated gas torches, supplied with a combustible gas in the gas phase, under a pressure regulated by a regulator, through a gas supply pipe; — manual aero-gas blow torches with aspirated air, supplied with a combustible gas liquefied in the gas phase under the pressure of the tank, through a gas supply pipe; — so-called liquid phase torches, powered by a combustible gas in the liquid phase and in which thermal evaporation occurs. It does not apply to torches in which the combustible gas exits the injector in the liquid phase, nor to so-called “cartridge” torches comprising a gas reserve directly attached to the torch and possibly serving as a handle. NOTE Figures 1 to 4 are given for information purposes only to facilitate the explanation of terms. They do not specify construction details which are left to the discretion of the manufacturer.
