Design and construction of tools and interim requirements for cartridges.

This Part of BS 4078 specifies the design and construction, marking, testing, ancillary equipment and cartridge requirements for powder actuated fixing tools. These tools are used to make fixings into construction materials such as concrete, masonry and steel.

This Part does not apply to tools designed for attaching objects to soft construction materials such as wood.

NOTE 1 Humane killers, marking tools and electric cable spiking tools require special consideration and are therefore outside the scope of this standard.

NOTE 2 The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.
