ENreaction force 
force which reacts on the spraying device (and thereby on the operator) as a result of the action force by the water jet leaving the nozzle

Note 1 to entry: The reaction force can also be called recoil force. For other standards with regard to hand-arm-vibration, the technical term is feed force (e.g. ISO 28927 series) or push force (e.g. ISO 15230) what describes another force actually. For high-pressure cleaners, the reaction force is the relevant physical dimension.
