Overview

ISO 19711-2:2023 - "Building construction machinery and equipment - Truck mixers - Part 2: Safety requirements" defines safety requirements for truck mixers (as defined in ISO 19711-1). It is a type‑C machine safety standard that addresses the significant hazards and risk‑reduction measures relevant to truck mixers during transportation, assembly, dismantling, disabling, scrapping, operation and maintenance. The standard excludes carrier vehicles (trucks, tractors, self‑propelled machinery) and national vehicle/road regulations, and it does not apply to truck mixers manufactured before its publication date.

Key topics and technical requirements

ISO 19711-2 organizes safety requirements across system and component levels. Major topics include:

• General safety principles and risk reduction - application of ISO 12100 risk assessment concepts and elimination/minimization of significant hazards.
• Mechanical, electrical and thermal hazards - measures for protection against entanglement, crushing, electrical shock and burns.
• Control systems and emergency stops - requirements for stop systems, multiple control stations, cable‑less remote control and safety‑related parts of control systems (see ISO 13849‑1).
• Drum and discharge systems - safety for drum openings, drum‑locking devices, drum closure systems, flip‑over and swivel chutes.
• Power transmission and auxiliary systems - safeguards for drive trains, water systems and auxiliary engine exhaust.
• Access, platforms and guards - requirements for working platforms, tread at rear underrun protective devices and guarding practices (reference ISO 14120, ISO 3457).
• Noise and EMC - noise‑test code and declaration (Annex B/C), acoustic measurement guidance (ISO 3744, ISO 11201) and electromagnetic compatibility considerations (ISO 13766 series, IEC 61000).
• Information for use, marking and verification - instruction handbooks, labelling, warnings, verification methods and annexed figures (Annex A) and list of significant hazards (Annex D).

guard shall be in accordance with Table 2. As an exception, for cleaning purposes, e shall be a value of
≤ 60 mm with at the same time a distance of s ≥ 120 mm to the hazard zone (rear end of drum) (see also
r
Figure A.5).
A warning sign indicating the remaining risks of crushing/shearing shall be applied close to or on this
fixed guard (see 6.3.2).
4.8.3.2 Use of truck mixer drum cleaning system
For truck mixers without drum closure systems, the charge device and, where relevant, the surrounding
structure shall be designed to be lifted or removed in order to allow access for a truck mixer drum
cleaning system.
4.9 Flip-over chute
The flip-over chute is operated manually. Therefore, it shall be equipped with at least one handle to flip
over the chute (see Figure A.17).
The flip-over chute shall be designed in a way that two-hand operation is enforced before reaching the
lowered end-position in order to reduce the risk of crushing (see Figures A.18, A.19 and A.20).
4.10 Swivel chute
Swivel chutes can be operated manually or power-driven. In case of power-driven swivel chutes, the
safety-related part of the control system shall be operated with hold-to-run devices which shall fulfil
performance level c in accordance with ISO 13849-1.
Appropriate means to fix the swivel chute in a travel position shall be provided.
4.11 Drum closure system
For power-driven drum closure systems, the crushing/shearing point shall be protected by a distance
in accordance with 4.1.2.2; alternatively, the control device shall be hold-to-run and the safety-related
parts of the control system shall fulfil performance level c in accordance with ISO 13849-1.
4.12 Power transmission from the power source to the drum drive system
Entanglement points of power-driven parts shall be covered by fixed guards in accordance with 4.1.2.2.
For the transmission shaft between the truck engine and the hydraulic pump, this requirement applies
to the top and both sides of the shaft.
4.13 Water system
If the truck mixer is equipped with a water system, cleaning equipment (e.g. hose, nozzle) shall be
provided at the work station and at the working platform.
NOTE If cleaning is not necessary at the working platform (e.g. external cleaning system), it can be provided
at the work station only.
4.14 Exhaust system of the auxiliary engine
Exhaust-gas outlets shall be arranged in such a way that during operation the gases are not directed to
the work station area.
4.15 Working platform at the charge device
A working platform to be accessed via a ladder in vicinity to the device shall be provided, conforming
to the requirements of ISO 2867. A working platform is not required if routine tasks in this area can be
performed remotely, or if other means of access is provided.
Further, the following apply.
a) The minimum dimensions of the working platform shall be 400 mm × 600 mm.
b) The ladder beams may be considered as handrails.
c) The maximum distance between the first step of the ladder and the ground shall be 500 mm.
In addition to the requirements for guard rails in accordance with ISO 2867, the guard rail of the
working platform shall be designed in order to prevent operators from standing on an intermediate
level (height) between the foot barrier and the handrail (an example is shown in Figure A.2). This
applies to the guard rail on the left, right and rear side of the working platform in driving direction (as
shown in Figure A.2).
A self-closing barrier shall be provided. The barrier shall have at least a handrail positioned at the same
level as that of the guard-rail that it extends to.
The barrier shall be designed to open onto the working platform and to close against a firm stop to
prevent operators from pushing against it and falling through the opening. Barriers shall be subject
to the same loading criteria as guard-rails. The maximum opening left by the closed barrier shall not
exceed 120 mm.
NOTE The working platform is not considered as a work station.
4.16 Tread at rear underrun protective device of the rear discharge type truck mixer
The crossbar of the rear underrun protective device shall be equipped with a tread. In case it cannot be
equipped on the crossbar due to design reason, a separate tread shall be provided on the other place (e.g.
behind the crossbar). In addition, a step is not necessary for a small truck mixer, therefore this subclause
does not apply. By exception to ISO 2867, the minimum size of the tread shall be 400 mm × 160 mm. The
longer side of the tread shall be parallel to the longitudinal axis of the crossbar.
Its surface shall be designed to be slip-resistant and shall be horizontal when the rear underrun
protective device is in its driving position. The upper edge of the tread shall be at the same height or at
a maximum 10 mm lower than the upper edge of the crossbar of the rear underrun protective device.
The ladder and/or the structure of the machine may be considered as handrail/handles.
In relation to the longitudinal axis of the truck mixer, the tread shall be positioned at the same side as
the work station. In relation to the longitudinal axis of the crossbar, it shall be directed towards the
work station.
If the rear underrun protective device is of a flip-over type, appropriate means to fix it in the flip-over
position shall be provided.
4.17 Visual aid
A visual aid shall be provided as additional means of hazard detection when moving or repositioning
the machine (e.g. mirror, camera/radar and monitor).
The visual aid shall survey the rear section and shall be activated when engaging the reverse gear of
the truck or additionally by manual action. The visual aid shall cover the area of the VTR.
The minimum dimensions of the VTR are width c = 3 500 mm and length a = 5 000 mm. The VTR starts
at the rear underrun protective device in its driving position (see Figure A.16).
The test object, a cube with an edge length of 200 mm, shall be completely visible in the VTR, with
the exception of the masked area due to the discharge components and the rear underrun protective
device.
5 Verification of safety requirements and/or protective measures
Safety requirements and/or measures of Clause 4 shall be verified as specified in Table 4.
The following methods of verification are considered in Table 4:
a) visual check: verification, by visual inspection, of the integrity of the machine, system or component
(e.g. guards, visual warning devices and labels, plates) and documents and drawings provided in
accordance with this document;
b) functional test: verification, by means of a no-load test, that, under no-load operating conditions,
the normal cycle, or part of the cycle, the machine with all of its safety devices functions as required
and all functions fulfil the requirements of this document and technical documentation;
c) measurement/calculation: verification that the measurable parameters established conform to
the requirements of this document (e.g. geometric dimensioning, safety distances, insulation
resistance of electric circuits, noise, vibration).
