    • Preface/Scope

    Preface


    This new edition of CSA Standard Z166 (now CAN3-Z166), Explosive Actuated Fastening Tools, supersedes the previous editions published in 1966 and 1975. This new edition is written in SI (metric) units and divided into two separate standards although bound together. They are:


    - CAN3-Z166.1. Powder Actuated Tools-Performance Requirements;


    - CAN3-Z166.2, Powder Actuated Tools-Use and Handling.


    This edition has reverted to the use of the phrase powder actuated tool as it is more commonly accepted in the industry than explosive actuated fastening tool.


    The 1975 edition contained a mixture of performance requirements for powder actuated tools and recommendations for their use on a job site. There was no clear distinction in the text between the types of requirements. It was decided, therefore, to separate the text into two separate but related standards; they have been bound together to promote and facilitate their use. In addition testing and certification operations are facilitated by the availability of a single, readily identified set of requirements (see CAN3-Z166.1).


    Both Standards describe a system consisting of the following components: tool, powder load, and fastener. Since detailed requirements for the powder loads and fasteners are not yet available, CSA tests a tool as part of a system. The powder load and fastener used in the test are those supplied by the tool manufacturer. The text of both CAN3-Z166.1 and CAN3-Z166.2 is written to describe this practice.


    This Standard was prepared by the Technical Committee on Powder Actuated Tools under the jurisdiction of the Standards Steering Committee on Occupational Safety Codes and was formally approved by these Committees. It has been approved as a National Standard of Canada by the Standards Council of Canada.
