ISO/TC 195/SC 1 - Machinery and equipment for concrete work

This document establishes the content for commercial literature for concrete mixers used either as individual machines on building sites or as components of batching plants. Definitions refer to whole machines, their structure and parameters. The commercial specifications establish technical characteristics of the whole machines and their components. Truck mixers, as defined in ISO 19711‑1, are excluded from this document.

This document specifies the procedure and requirements for examining the technical commercial specifications of factory new piston-type concrete pump and rotary-type concrete pump as defined in ISO 21573‑1. It applies to mobile concrete pumps (with or without concrete-placing boom) and stationary concrete pumps.

This document defines terms and commercial specifications for truck mixers used for producing concrete or mortar and for delivering concrete, mortar or the materials of the mixture to worksites. This document is applicable to truck mixers that are either a) truck mounted, or b) semi-trailer mounted. This document does not apply to — fixed (stationary) mixers (see ISO 18650-1); — turbo mixers (see ISO 18650-1); — concrete or mortar mixing plants (see ISO 19720-1); — small portable mixers (see ISO 18650-1); — purpose-built underground truck mixers; — volumetric mixers (mobile concrete or mortar mixing plants).

ISO 19720-1:2017 specifies terms and definitions and commercial specifications for concrete mixing plants, concrete batching plants and dry mortar mixing plants used in the preparation of concrete and mortar.

ISO 17740-1:2015 defines terminology and commercial specifications for concrete placing systems which are stationary. ISO 17740-1:2015 is not applicable to concrete placing systems which are part of a mobile or trailer-mounted concrete pumping system (see ISO 21573‑1).

ISO 13105-2:2014 specifies safety requirements for machines used for concrete surface floating and finishing. This includes pedestrian-controlled equipment and ride-on equipment. It is not applicable to internal or external vibrators or ancillary equipment used with internal and external vibrators, for example, air compressors, hydraulic power sources, and voltage transformers, to remote-controlled or hand-held smoothing machines and self-acting (robotic) smoothing machines, or to strike-off type machines commonly known as screeds. It deals with significant hazards, hazardous situations, or hazardous events relevant to machinery for concrete surface floating and finishing (power trowels) when used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer. It is not applicable to machines which are manufactured before the date of its publication.

ISO 13105-1:2014 defines terms and commercial specifications for machines used for concrete surface floating and finishing (also known as power trowels). This includes pedestrian-controlled equipment and ride-on equipment. It does not address strike-off type machines, commonly known as screeds.

ISO 18650-2:2014 specifies the procedure and requirements for examination of the mixing efficiency of batch-type and continuous-type concrete mixers as defined in ISO 18650-1. It is applicable to concrete mixers having a rated capacity greater than or equal to 70/50.

ISO 21573-1:2014 establishes terminology and commercial-literature specifications for concrete pumps which are used on building sites for concrete-mix delivery.

ISO 18651:2011 specifies the terminology and gives commercial specifications for internal vibrators used for concrete mix compaction.

ISO 21592:2006 establishes terminology and commercial literature specifications for concrete spraying machines typically used for the execution of linings covering reinforcements of concrete structures and on bases of rock, walls of bricks, steel structures and wooden formworks. The figures given in annex show examples of machine types, structures and dimensional characteristics.

ISO 18652:2005 defines terms and specifies the classification, performance requirements, test methods, designation and commercial specifications of external vibrators for concrete. It is applicable only to those power-driven external vibrators used for compacting concrete mix by vibration from the outside.

ISO 21573-2:2008 specifies the procedure and requirements for examining the technical commercial specifications of concrete pumps as defined in ISO 21573-1. It applies to mobile (with or without boom) and stationary concrete pumps.

ISO 21573-1:2006 establishes terminology and commercial-literature specifications for concrete pumps which are used on building sites for concrete-mix delivery.

ISO 18650-2:2006 specifies the procedure and requirements for examination of the mixing efficiency of batch-type and continuous-type concrete mixers as defined in ISO 18650-1. It is applicable to concrete mixers having a rated capacity greater than or equal to 70/50.

ISO 18650-1:2004 establishes additional terminology to describe the functioning and the required and optional components for various types of concrete mixers. The content of commercial literature specifications for these types of machines is defined. ISO 18650-1:2004 applies to concrete mixers as defined in ISO 11375; truck mixers are excluded.
