ISO 11148-8:2011 is not applicable to special requirements and modifications of sanders and polishers for the purpose of mounting them in a fixture.
ISO 11148-8:2011 deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events relevant to sanders and polishers when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer, with the exception of the use of sanders and polishers in potentially explosive atmospheres.
