ISO/TC 195/SC 3 - Drilling and foundation machinery and equipment

ISO/TC 195/SC 3 is a Subcommittee within the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It is named "Drilling and foundation machinery and equipment" and is responsible for: Standardization in the field of drilling and foundation machinery and equipment (e.g. piling, diaphragm walling, earth boring, jetting, grouting, drill rigs for soil and rock mixture) used on construction sites, concerning, e.g. nomenclature application classification ratings technical requirements test methods safety requirements. Excludes: equipment for the extraction of solid mineral substances [e.g. road headers, continuous miners, rock drill rigs, raise boring machines, high wall miners, LHDs, mining auger boring machines, RMDSs (rapid mine development systems)] (ISO/TC 82). This committee has published 4 standards.

ISO/TC 195/SC 3 develops ISO standards in the area of Information technology. The scope of work includes: Standardization in the field of drilling and foundation machinery and equipment (e.g. piling, diaphragm walling, earth boring, jetting, grouting, drill rigs for soil and rock mixture) used on construction sites, concerning, e.g. nomenclature application classification ratings technical requirements test methods safety requirements. Excludes: equipment for the extraction of solid mineral substances [e.g. road headers, continuous miners, rock drill rigs, raise boring machines, high wall miners, LHDs, mining auger boring machines, RMDSs (rapid mine development systems)] (ISO/TC 82). Currently, there are 4 published standards from this subcommittee.

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an independent, non-governmental international organization that develops and publishes international standards. Founded in 1947 and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, ISO brings together experts from 170+ member countries to share knowledge and develop voluntary, consensus-based standards that support innovation and provide solutions to global challenges.

A Subcommittee (SC) in ISO operates under a Technical Committee and focuses on a specific subset of the TC's scope. Subcommittees develop standards and technical specifications in their specialized area, reporting to their parent Technical Committee. They may also have working groups for detailed technical work.
