TS 13155

TS 13155 focuses on how competent services for hydraulic breakers mounted on construction and excavation machinery should be organised, what minimum technical and administrative conditions they should meet, and how they are assessed for certification. Rather than defining the breaker itself as a product standard, it addresses the structure and competence of the service organisation that supports it.

Core elements expected from a competent service

The standard brings together operating practices, structural features, technical equipment, and personnel qualifications as the main components of the service organisation. In general technical terms, this kind of framework is intended to help a service carry out maintenance, repair, and inspection activities in a controlled and traceable way. Because hydraulic breakers are high-energy impact tools typically fitted to excavators, loaders, or similar machines, service competence is especially tied to hydraulic-system knowledge, wear management, and safe working discipline.

What certification means in this context

The scope also includes rules related to the certification of competent services. This means attention is given not only to workshop facilities, but also to staff competence and organisational readiness. The referenced legal context points to an approach aligned with after-sales service obligations and occupational health and safety principles, supporting a service model that is organised, inspectable, and suitable for regulated support work. For users, the value of the standard lies in defining the minimum foundation expected from an organisation authorised to service hydraulic breakers.
