Description / Abstract:
This Standard provides performance and safety requirements for ball
peen hammers. Ball peen hammers
have a striking face on one end of the head for use in striking
punches and chisels, and a ball
peen on the opposite end for use in riveting, shaping, and
straightening unhardened metals. This
Standard is intended to serve as a guide in selecting, testing, and
using the hand tools covered
herein. It is not the purpose of this Standard to specify the details
of manufacturing.
This Standard is also intended to serve as a guide for the development
of manuals and posters and
for training personnel to work safely.
This Standard may be used as a guide by state authorities or other
regulatory bodies in the
formulation of laws or regulations. It is also intended for voluntary
use by establishments that
use or manufacture the tools covered. The methods employed to ensure
compliance with this Standard
shall be determined by the proper regulatory or administrative
authority.
