ISO 11375:1998 - "Building construction machinery and equipment - Terms and definitions" is an International Standard that specifies standardized terminology for machines and equipment used on building construction sites. Its primary purpose is to provide a common vocabulary to support clarity in specification, procurement, technical documentation, training and standardization work. The standard divides construction machinery into five main groups and provides illustrated terms and definitions (examples include piling rigs, diaphragm walling rigs, concrete mixers and concrete transport equipment). ISO 11375 explicitly excludes categories such as earth‑moving machinery, cranes and lifting/access machinery.
The standard focuses on precise terms and definitions for building construction machinery and equipment, including:
The document includes illustrations and structured itemized entries to ensure consistent interpretation of each term.
ISO 11375 is practical for:
ISO 11375 complements other ISO standards covering construction processes, safety and machine performance. It was prepared by ISO/TC 195 (Building construction machinery and equipment) and is intended for use alongside functional and safety standards for concrete, piling and construction machinery.
