TS 13393

TS 13393 is a rules standard for authorised services that support pneumatic hand tools and circuit components. Its technical focus is not the products themselves, but the organisation, equipment and personnel qualifications of the service providers that maintain and repair them. In practice, it aims to frame service work in a traceable, orderly and technically appropriate way.

The organisational and technical framework of an authorised service

The standard covers rules related to the management structure, physical arrangement, technical equipment and personnel characteristics of authorised services. In other words, it brings together the basic elements needed for a service operation: workshop layout, tools and equipment for maintenance and repair, allocation of technical responsibility, and overall service organisation. This matters in pneumatic equipment because compressed-air systems and tools depend on correct servicing to preserve performance, safe operation and service life.

What this means in the pneumatic equipment context

Pneumatic hand tools generally refer to equipment powered by compressed air, such as impact or rotary tools, while circuit components are the parts that help control, direct and regulate flow within such systems. From a general technical perspective, service quality depends on correct diagnosis, suitable spare parts, basic measurement and inspection discipline, and staff familiarity with the technology. TS 13393 serves as a service-orientation standard that sets out the minimum organisational and competence framework for establishments working in this field.
