Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 15688 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 195, Building construction machinery and
equipment.
It is based on EN 500-3:1995, Mobile road construction machinery — Safety — Part 3: Specific requirements
for soil stabilization machines.

Introduction
This International Standard deals with soil stabilizers used in road construction and pavement works.
It provides the terminology for the machine and its components, and also gives operation principles and
parameters.
This International Standard deals with commercial specifications and establishes parameters required for
technical characteristics of a whole machine and its components, such as a transport vehicle and a mixing
device.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 15688:2003(E)

Road construction and maintenance equipment — Soil
stabilizers — Terminology and commercial specifications
1 Scope
This International Standard establishes the terminology for soil stabilizers and their components, and gives
requirements for operation and commercial specifications.
It is applicable to soil stabilizers intended for road construction and pavement works.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.
ISO 3911:1998, Wheels and rims for pneumatic tyres — Vocabulary, designation and marking
ISO 6746-1:1987, Earth-moving machinery — Definitions of dimensions and symbols — Part 1: Base machine
ISO 6746-2:1987, Earth-moving machinery — Definitions of dimensions and symbols — Part 2: Equipment

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
soil stabilizer
self-propelled machine, towed or transported, with the function of pulverizing, breaking-up aerating,
homogenizing, loosening existing or imported materials or pavement materials and mixing it (or them) with
one (or more) added materials, such as filler, cement or lime
NOTE The main purpose of soil stabilizers is to improve the mechanical and physical properties of the soil material
by mixing it with binders (cement, lime, etc.) or filler.
3.2
transport vehicle
machine carrying all of the components, providing movement of the mixing device during work and between
work areas
3.3
mixing device
active part, where the components work the materials in place

---------------------- Page: 6 ----------------------
ISO 15688:2003(E)
NOTE The mixing device normally comprises a powered rotor equipped with tools, which rotates during the mixing
operation (Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6). In place of a rotor-type device, another style of mixing equipment [e.g. digging,
ploughing or scarifying type (Figures 7, 8 and 9)] may be used.
3.4
variable mixer hood
cowling equipped with gates or flaps which controls the time the materials remain in the mixing chamber
3.5
fixed mixer hood
cowling without gates or flaps so no variation of mixing time is possible
4 Types and configuration of soil stabilizers
4.1 Types
Depending on the mixing device, there are three different types of soil stabilizer, as follows.
a) Mixing: device using rotating tools to cut and reduce to aggregate the material in a mixing chamber
(Figures 1 to 6). The rotation axis of the rotors may be horizontal or vertical.
b) Breaking up: device using special tools with reciprocating movement (digging machine; Figure 7).
c) Ploughing: device using disk tools (disk ploughs; Figure 8) or tines (scarifier; Figure 9), acting by shearing
the materials.
4.2 Configuration
The configuration of soil stabilizers is determined by either the position of the mixing tools in relation to the
axles of the transport vehicle, or the type and layout of the working tools with which the machine is equipped.
a) Position of mixing tool
 central: the mixing device is suspended between two axles (Figures 1 and 2);
 rear: the mixing device is carried behind the axles (Figures 3 to 9).
b) Type and layout of working tool
 the tools are fixed to a horizontal axis rotary drum (Figures 1 to 5 and Figures 10 to 14);
 the tools are fixed to the vertical axis rotary disc (Figure 6);
 the tools are in form of a digging device (Figure 7 and Figure 11);
 the tools are in form of a ploughing device (Figures 8 and 9).
4.3 Tool driving principle
The following types of tool driving are identified:
 the tools are fixed on the mobile machine;
 the movement of the tools is provided by traction on the ground;

ISO 15688:2003(E)
 the movement of tools is provided by independent means, i.e. mechanically or hydraulically actuated
drum rotation.
