Portable electric heating tools and similar appliances, hereinafter referred to as tools, which can be mounted on a support for use as fixed tools without any alteration of the tool itself, are within the scope of this standard. Tools not intended for normal household use, but which nevertheless may be a source of danger to the public, such as tools intended to be used by laymen in shops, in light industry and on farms, are also within the scope of this standard. Examples of tools that are within the scope of this standard are: - soldering irons; - desoldering irons; - soldering guns; - conduit-soldering tools; - thermoplastic conduit-welding tools; - plastic-welding tools; - film-welding tools; - household film-welding appliances; - plastic-cutting tools; - branding tools; - burning-in pens; - stripping pliers; - glue guns; - dehorning tools. This standard does not take into account the special hazards which exist in nurseries and other places where there are young children or aged or infirm persons without supervision; in such cases, additional requirements may be necessary. This standard does not apply to: - tools for high-frequency heating; - arc welding and carbon-arc brazing equipment; - tools intended to be used in explosive atmospheres. For tools intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements may be necessary. For tools intended to be used in tropical countries, special requirements may be necessary. Attention is drawn to the fact that in many countries additional requirements are specified by the national health authorities and the national authorities responsible for the protection of labour. /
