TS 13651

TS 13651 is a standard for competent services that support olive separation machines equipped with electrical, electronic and/or electromechanical components. Its focus is not the machine alone, but the rules for how the authorized service organization is set up and operated, including business structure, technical equipment, personnel and certification.

Service organisation and scope of support

The subject of the standard is the formalisation of after-sales service for olive separation equipment. In general technical terms, competent or authorised service means a service arrangement that can handle maintenance, repair, commissioning, inspection and related support in a controlled way. Because olive separation machines are used in food-industry operations to sort product by size, service quality matters for continuity, operating efficiency and consistent performance.

General technical context for equipment, staff and documentation

The scope explicitly names operating requirements, structural characteristics, technical equipment, personnel specifications and certification. This indicates that the standard addresses the service provider as a whole: the physical premises, the tools and equipment used in service work, the technical competence of staff, and the documentation needed to show that the service is properly organised. For electromechanical equipment, a well-defined service framework generally helps support safer intervention, more reliable fault diagnosis and more orderly maintenance processes.

• Applies to olive separation equipment with electrical, electronic and/or electromechanical components.
• Covers the organisation and structural features of the competent service.
• Addresses technical equipment and personnel characteristics.
• Includes certification-related requirements for the service function.
• Defines the service framework; it is not a design standard for the machine itself.
