Swedish know how
A high-quality tool is always more than just a tool. In addition to basic requirements such as function and strength, it should be ergonomically designed and safe to use for the professional mechanic. It should also last for a long time and stand up to the tough environment in a dirty workshop. Therefore Kamasa Tools develops and produces tools and workshop equipment according to the industry's strictest standards and rules. Here are a few examples:
DIN
DIN is Germany's standardization organisation and the DIN-standards are the biggest collection of requirement levels. The industry standards are used internationally and cover, in principle, all types of hand tools, with specifications with regards to dimensions, angles, loads, and more.
CE
CE (Conformité Européenne) is a product marking used within the EEA (European Economic Area). The CE-marking certifies that the product meets the requirements according to applicable standards, often established by ISO (International Organization for Standardization) when it comes to tools. The ISO-standards cover occupational safety and injury risks, pressure loads of jacks, tool vibrations, sound levels, magnetic interference of electric power tools, and more.
IEC
IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a commission that produces and establishes international standards within electronics and electrical engineering. Examples of IEC-standards that concern tools from Kamasa Tools are load and type approvals for high-voltage tools.
VDE
VDE (Verband der Elektrotechnik, Elektronik und Informationstechnik) is a group that issues type approvals with regards to electric insulation for tools. VDE applies on the global market through consultation and partnerships.
Simplified, one can say that a standard or norm is a compilation of rules, requirements, and test methods that a product must fulfill to be considered safe and good for the user. For it to be considered a standard, it shall also be agreed upon between recognized and established bodies and groups. By following a standard, earlier experiences are used, which in the end leads to a product that works as it is intended.
It is Swedish quality.
