Requirements for production, storage and transport of HBMs

The HBM must be produced at a central hub facility using a plant that batches by mass and mixes in a forced-action mixer allowing sufficient time in the mixer to produce a homogenous mixture.
A10.2.19
The producer's quality manual should describe the characteristics of any constituent or mixture storage system and define their mode of operation. The producer must ensure through checks, inspections and records, that such systems are used correctly, and that constituents and mixtures maintain their suitability for use during storage.
A10.2.20
The minimum temperature at the time of production of HBM is 3°C and rising.
A10.2.21
At production, the constituents, and on leaving the production facility, the HBM must be free from ice and frozen agglomerations.
A10.2.22
On leaving the production facility, HBM must have a water content suitable for compaction as determined during the design stage and monitored in accordance with the production quality control plan.
A10.2.23
HBM must be transported directly to the point of placement and protected from the weather during transit and unloading.
