TS 13544

TS 13544 is a rule standard for authorized services that support drilling machines used for table-type drilling operations. Its focus is not the machine design itself, but the way service providers are organized, equipped, staffed, and documented when they deliver technical support, maintenance, and related service activities for these drilling machines.

The main areas that define service capability

The scope sets a framework for a competent service organization to operate in a consistent and accountable way. Structural characteristics point to the service organization, workflow, and responsibility structure. Management and technical equipment refer to the facilities, tools, and technical resources needed to carry out maintenance and intervention properly. Personnel characteristics reflect the expectation that these services are performed by suitably qualified staff. The certification element is important for recording, recognizing, and tracing authorized service activity.

Technical context for table-type drilling machines

Table-type drilling machines are typically fixed or semi-fixed workshop machines used to produce holes in small and medium workpieces. In drilling applications, accuracy depends on spindle alignment, secure clamping, machine condition, and stable operation. For that reason, service work plays an important role in adjustment, maintenance, fault correction, and the preservation of safe operating conditions. TS 13544 defines the framework under which these services are offered; it addresses the competence of the service provider rather than the design of the machine itself.

• Defines a corporate and technical framework for authorized service providers.
• Applies to services for table-type drilling machines.
• Covers structure, management, technical equipment, personnel, and certification.
• Addresses service competence, not the machine’s operating principle.
