TS ISO 18650-1

TS ISO 18650-1 addresses the commercial description of concrete mixers used in building construction, focusing on the information that should appear in product literature and trade documentation. It brings together the whole machine and its component-level characteristics for concrete mixers used either as individual site machines or as parts of batching plants, so their technical identity can be presented consistently.

How the commercial data set is organised

From a general technical perspective, a concrete mixer is defined not only by its mixing action but also by the arrangement of its structure, drive, charging and discharge system, capacity-related parameters, and other characteristics that influence how the machine is selected and used. Commercial specifications are meant to express these characteristics in a standardised way, helping users compare machines on the basis of the same terminology and the same type of information.

Boundary of the document

The scope covers concrete mixers used on building sites as standalone machines and mixers incorporated into batching plants. Truck mixers, as defined in ISO 19711-1, are excluded. That distinction matters because a truck mixer is a different equipment category in terms of installation, mobility and commercial description, even though it serves a related concrete-handling function. In short, this document is about the commercial specification framework for construction-site concrete mixers, not about mobile truck-mounted mixer systems.

• Standalone mixers for building sites
• Mixers integrated into batching plants
• Commercial technical characteristics of the whole machine and its components
• Consistent terminology for product literature and trade documents
• Explicit exclusion of truck mixers defined in ISO 19711-1
